Known as the “life force” of the plant, essential oils are fragrant, highly concentrated, volatile plant
extracts found in the leaves, flowers, fruits, roots, seeds, and bark of plants.

The chemical constituents of essential oils have antibacterial, antifungal, anti-infectious, antimicrobial,
antitumor, antiparasitic, antiviral, and antiseptic properties. They are also powerful antioxidants. Because
essential oils can consist of hundreds of different chemical constituents, a single oil has the potential to
produce a myriad of effects on the body.
The molecules travel through the nasal passage to the limbic system. The limbic system supports a variety
of functions, including emotion, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction.
Aromatic plants have been used for their therapeutic properties for thousands of years. Egyptian papyri,
Chinese manuscripts and Siddha medicine documents describe the medicinal use of aromatics (aka
essential oils) employed thousands of years ago. There are also many references to essential oils such as
frankincense and myrrh in the Bible and Torah.
