How Do You Use Essential Oils?
Essential oils are the aromatic non oily highly volatile substances that all plants produce. No one is entirely sure why, some say they are the ‘life force’ of the plant, others say for protection, but whatever their role within the plant we harvest them for their therapeutic and aromatic properties (more on aromatherapy and essential…
