Essential Oil 101: Definition
Salam and hi guys!
The orange essential oil has been my Triple As favorite oil, and I absolutely LOVE the smell.
Being a newbie at this oily thing has made me super curious on how we can use different oils for different reasons in our life. I have done some research (which I must do more of it!!), on what is safe and what is not safe to use on babies and toddlers because this is the main reason I got into this essential oil thingy. My bubbly boys.
So, before we get into the use of essential oils, we first need to understand what is essential oil?
Essential oil is by definition:
"A natural oil typically obtained by distillation and having the characteristic fragrance of the plan or other source form which it is extracted" (1)
"An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetherolea (stay with me guys!!) or simply as the oil the plant from which they were extracted." (2)
Essential oils has been used medicinally through out history. It has also been used in pharmacology, medicines and aromatherapy.
I guess this is all that I can write about today.
Will continue on some other time...
Love,
