Health Benefits of Essential Oils
Essential oils are highly concentrated phytochemicals distilled from leaves, flowers, bark, roots, wood, needles, and other parts of plants. They can be used as aromatherapy, added to cleaning products or ingested in capsules for a health benefit like reducing irritable bowel syndrome symptoms or improving libido. When using them topically, they should be diluted in another oil or water at a concentration of 3-5%. Follow safe dosage recommendations and label instructions. AromatherapyAromatherapy uses the scents of essential oils to promote health and well-being. The oils can be inhaled directly -- putting a few drops on a cotton ball or tissue
