Essential Oils

Essential oils are basically the compounds extracted from various parts of plants (flowers, leaves, stems, bark, or fruit).  The extracted oils capture the plant's scent and living energy, or "essence." Unique aromatic compounds give each essential oil its characteristic essence. It can take several pounds of a plant to produce a single bottle of essential oil. Essential oils are traditionaly obtained through distillation (via steam and/or water) or mechanical methods, such as cold pressing. The way the oils are made is important, as essential oils obtained through chemical processes are not considered true essential oils.

Hydrosols

Hydrosols, also known as "floral waters", are produced by steam distilling the fresh cut parts of a plant such as leaves, stems, flowers, roots, and husks and separating the condensated water from the much less dense oil compounds. The resulting infused floral water or "Hydrosol" contains similar properties to its essential oil byproduct but in a much less concentrated form resulting in pleasantly soft and subtle aromas useful for a wide ranging number of practical uses.

Diffusers

Using essential oils in a diffuser is an enjoyable and effective way to experience aromatherapy in your home. Through air diffusion, a few drops of essential oil can deliver therapeutic aromatherapy throughout one or more rooms while clearing the air and creating a pleasantly fragrant environment.Diffusers disperse essential oils as a fine vapor throughout the air so they can be absorbed gently into the body through the respiratory system. The aroma can prompt the nervous system to transmit signals to the limbic system in the brain – the same part of the brain that houses emotion and memory. The brain may respond by initiating various physiological functions, such as a release of hormones, relief from pain, or a positive boost in mood.
