Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants through distillation (via steam) or mechanical methods (such as cold-pressed) that capture the plant's scent or "essence." These aromatic compounds can be used for self-care as well as around the house. Products include inhalers, lotions, massage oils, room sprays, foaming hand soaps, bath salts and roll-ons. Essential oils can be used therapeutically to uplift, calm, encourage rest, clear congestion, and much, much more. How do they work? Why is it so important to know their common and Latin names? We will cover everything from the language of aroma and plant parts to proper storage, shelf-life and safety. It's important to know where you can find reliable information for safe usage. Following this introduction class, you will be prepared to participate in the rest of the essential oil series. Headcount is limited.
