Essences

 

Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants that capture their unique aroma. Once the aroma chemicals are extracted, they are combined with a carrier oil to create a ready-to-use product.

 

Essential oils are mainly used in aromatherapy and can affect the body in various ways. When applied directly to the skin, certain plant substances are absorbed and provide the body with the beneficial properties of the herbs. On the other hand, when inhaled they can stimulate the limbic system of the brain, affecting emotions, behaviours, smell and long-term memory but also several unconscious physiological functions such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
