What are essential oils?

Check out my recent appearance on Today talking about the benefits of essential oils!

“Essential oils are complex mixtures (or) compounds produced by aromatic plants,” Feller said. “To get the essential oil, the plant must undergo a process that extracts the essence. this is usually done via distillation or mechanical pressing of the plant.”

Feller said it’s important to work with a health care professional to understand proper dosing and do your research. Check out the label before you buy any essential oil to confirm it fits the purpose you have in mind: Is it a concentrate? Is it edible? Is it for use in a diffuser?
