Essential oils are the volatile aromatic compounds found in plants. These highly concentrated phytochemicals give plants distinctive smells that encourage pollination while also protecting them from damage. For centuries, people have used essential oils for their medicinal and therapeutic properties. Today, essential oils are used in a variety of ways, including aromatherapy, massages, and skin care products. While there is no scientific evidence to support the claims made about the benefits of essential oils, many people believe that these natural substances can improve physical and emotional wellbeing.
