Essential oils are a
real gift from nature. They have been used through the years for
their therapeutic and healing effects. In fact, essential oils are
the blood of the plants. Their function is to transport oxygen and
nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, hormones, amino acids, etc.
throughout every cell of the plant. Hence the indispensable role of
the herbal oils in the occurrence of the two vital chemical
processes, photosynthesis and respiration. Aside from supplying the
plant with oxygen and all the essential nutrients it needs to thrive,
the essential oils are part of the plant's defensive system. What
this means is the herbal oils protect the plant from viruses and
infections and help the plant to recover after certain types of
structural damages.
Essential oils have
been proven to provide many benefits for human's health. They are the
most popular aromatherapy products
on the market. You can enjoy the power of the scents from the herbal
oils and their actual health benefits by diffusing them in the air or
by applying them directly on your skin. Scientific researches have
shown that the herbal oils have the same healing effect on human's
skin as they have on plants. Thanks to their high oxygen
concentration and highly-oxygenating molecules, essential oils are
quickly absorbed in the skin and go through every cell on the skin
while detoxifying them from the accumulated toxins. When diffused in
the air, the pure aromatherapy oils clean and detoxify the air while
eliminating bad odor such as cigarette smoke as well as a range of
microbes harbored in the air.
To get the most out of
the use of the essential oils as aromatherapy products, the first
thing that you need to do is to choose the right oils for the
specific effect you want to achieve. For example, here are the five
aromatherapy products that you need to have in your home:
