Essential Oils

Essential oils are concentrated liquids containing volatile aroma compounds derived from plants. Essential oils are also referred to as volatile oils or ethereal oils and are often named for the plant source from which they were extracted. What differentiates an “essential” oil from another oil is that it carries a distinctive scent, or essence, of the plant.

Aromatherapy is the art and science of using volatile plant oils for preventative care, healing, and relaxation. It is becoming more acceptable today to turn, once again, to aromatherapy for both healing and relaxation.  Additionally, current research continues to validate the efficacy of essential oils.

Purity of the essential oils is critical, especially when using them therapeutically. A Healing Place uses only 100% pure essential oils from reputable and eco-friendly sources.
