Essential oils are the smelly parts of plants found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They protect plants against environmental threats and do the same for humans.

Without getting to deep into the science, essential oils work on a chemical level. The molecular profile of essential oils work with your body’s chemistry to support and/or enhance normal functioning.

You have three options for using essential oils to support your health. Certain oils can be diffused (used aromatically), others can be applied topically and absorbed through the skin, and a select few can be used internally.
