Essential oils are extracted from different parts of beneficial plants like the seeds, leaves, wood, fruits, roots, bark and flowers. Essential oils are natural extracts from a single plant species. But it’s worth noting that all plants don’t produce essential oils.
The word essential oil signifies that it contains the essence of a plant and contain the aroma of that plant. Usual fragrance oils found in the market have no therapeutic benefits since they are made by chemists. While essential oils have healing, therapeutic and cleansing properties. Most of them are antiseptic, antifungal and anti-bacterial. These oils are used in cosmetics, aromatherapy, foods, etc.
