WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?
from Get Started Guide
Essential Oils are considered powerful ‘earth medicine’ distilled from plants, flowers, roots, shrubs, trees, bushes and seeds.
For an essential oil to be true and pure, it must be isolated by physical means only. The physical methods used are distillation – steam/water – or expression – also known as cold pressing, a unique feature for citrus peel oils.

Essential Oils are 100 to 10,000 times more concentrated than natural dried herbs. For example one drop of peppermint E.O. is equivalent to 28 peppermint teas. Even though E.O. are many times more potent than herbs, oils unlike pharmaceuticals, very rarely generate any side effects. With pure therapeutic grade essential oils people can find relief from disease, infections, pain, and mental difficulties.
