WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential oils are the concentrated essences of various flowers, fruits, herbs and plants. They have been used for centuries all over the world as ancient medicines of the earth.

Because essential oils are so sweet smelling, many people think that their value is just one of charm and fragrance - but this is wrong. Modern scientific research has proven that essential oils are potent, with remarkable medicinal properties. These substances are very complex in their molecular structure and very powerful. As an example, the essential oil of oregano is 26 times more powerful as an anticeptic than phenol.

Unlike chemical drugs, essential oils do not remain in the body, therefore, they leave no toxins behind. And essential oils make more sense as air fresheners then commerical products as they cleanse the air by altering the structure of the molecules creating the smells rather then masking them.

When you are looking for alternative products that do not contain toxins in your home, look towards essential oils - they're convenient, practical and pleasant!
