The Basics of Pure Essential Oils

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:
