Essential oils all around

Even if you're brand new to the concept of essential oils, you probably have quite a bit of experience with them already. Essential oils are simply the volatile plant components that float off into the air, giving off a distinctive aroma. You could even say that essential oils ARE the aroma, since your experience of smell comes from inhaling these compounds.



If you've ever walked through an evergreen forest or smelled a rose, you've experienced their benefits aromatically, and if you've ever peeled an orange, you've absorbed its oil through your skin. At almost every meal, you are most likely ingesting the aromatic compounds from various herbs and spices.

Wherever there are plants, there are essential oils. They are a normal part of everyday life for all of us, and they are a factor in our health, whether we're paying attention to them or not.

Distilled essential oils allow us to access these fragrant compounds in a form that's convenient, shelf-stable, and easily portable. It gives us the chance to enjoy and experience the aromas of plants from all around the world. 

Generally speaking, getting these aromatic benefits in their natural state is ideal. Nothing really replaces the magic of a long walk in the woods... but by diffusing essential oils from aromatic trees, you can access many of the same benefits. It's a way to breathe in more of the joys of nature in the midst of modern life.
