What are Essential Oils?
Essential Oils can seem very complex at first, but really they are very simple to understand! They are the naturally occuring, aromatic liquid inside a plant that causes their distinctive smell! Basically, an essential oil is the "life force" or "life blood" of the plant.
Essential oils have very similar functions as the blood in our human body. When they enter our bodies, they already know what to do because they were designed to protect, cleanse, carry nutrients & oxygen, and more! You could even say they were intelligently designed. In fact, we believe that plants and the essential oils they contain were created by God with us and our bodies in mind, and that they exist to nourish our bodies and help our maladies (they are even mentioned hundreds of times in Scripture!).
Essential oils are extracted from the plant material, ideally by steam distillation. Other methods include cold-pressing (usually citrus oils) and resin-tapping (how we get Frankincense!). Steam distillation is a very delicate process that must be done carefully to preserve the naturally occurring botanical compounds that make up essential oils.
The delicate nature of steam distillation is one of the reasons we use only essential oils from Young Living. If those important natural compounds get destroyed, the essential oil will not have the same benefits to our bodies! Young Living is the world leader in essential oils because they have developed a very gentle, proprietary distillation technique that preserves the maximum amount of plant compounds so that all of their oils are of maximum benefit to the body!
