What are essential oils?

An essential oil is obtained through distillation using leaves, flowers, roots and bark. Essential oils can have therapeutic benefits, both physical and psychological, thanks to their chemical composition. The benefits of essential oils are obtained by inhaling the oils or applying a diluted oil directly on the skin. Essential oils are often diffused using a diffuser.
