What Are Essential Oils

Essential oils (EOs) continue to receive rave reviews for their multiple benefits for the human body. Since they are a natural part of mother earth, people tend to gravitate towards their healing powers instinctively. 

Essential oils are the product of compounds found in the petal, root, rind, leaf or bark of a plant. There are eight compounds in essential oils: alcohols, acids, aldehydes, ketones, esters, phenols, sesquiterpenes, and terpenes.
