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, bar 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? From the language of aroma and plant parts to proper storage, shelf-life and safety, it's important to get reliable information for safe usage. This course is recommended (not required) prior attending other essential oil classes.
