What are essential oils?
Essential oils are natural oils typically obtained through the process of distillation, which separates the oil and water-based compounds of a plant by steaming. They are highly concentrated oils and will maintain the characteristic fragrance of the plant or other sources from which the oil was extracted.
What are the benefits of essential oils?
Essential oils provide many benefits, such as:
- Improving skin
- Freshening the air
- Calming tension
- Improving overall health
- Strengthening nails
- Reducing household toxins
- And more!
There are so many more benefits to essential oils but I will let the experts at Plant Therapy outline all the benefits. To learn 25 ways essential oils can change your life, be sure to check out Plant Therapy’s article here.
Why choose Plant Therapy essential oils?
In short, because purity and quality are critical to Plant Therapy. According to Plant Therapy, they “test every single batch of oils for in-depth information on each chemical constituent with GC-MS testing, as well as evaluate each oil’s color, consistency, and general appearance to give you the most accurate information possible.”
Not only are Plant Therapy’s essential oils high quality but their prices are very reasonable. They also offer free shipping and returns, customer rewards, frequent discounts, and customer service like you’ve never seen.
Who can use essential oils?
Another aspect of Plant Therapy that I LOVE is that on each product page, in addition to a description of the oil, if there are any cautions about the oil (not recommended for pregnant women, etc.) it is all provided. In addition, each oil is rated as either being kid-safe or not; this makes it SO easy to shop at Plant Therapy because you know right away if a particular oil is safe for you and your family.
Each product page also outlines where the oil originated from, how it was extracted, the strength of aroma, what it blends well with, the aromatic scent, test reports, and more.
Which oils should you start with?
