      Essential Oils Guide - Grace Masters

      What are Essential Oils?

      Many of us have used essential oils in one form or another – in scented bath salts, in aromatic candles, in soaps, in food, in potpourri, in cosmetics, and a whole lot of other products. We may not, however, know what essential oils really are. These oils have fragrance, certainly, and come in a variety of scents. These have many physical and mental benefits. This guide explains the basics of essential oils, describes many of the most common oils and how to use the, and gives small recipes for using the essential oils in your household, for your pet, and for your health.  

      Essential oils are oils extracted from certain fragrant plants and herbs like rose, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, licorice, anise, lemon, lemongrass, etc. They are highly volatile and easily spread their fragrance in air, which is why they are used to produce a number of aromatic products. The name essential comes from the word essence. It was once thought that essential oils represented the very essence of flavor and odor. So, they are essential solely for that reason. They can offer some quick fixes for your body and mind. 

      How Do We Get Essential Oils?

      There are several methods of extracting essential oil from plants. These include: 

      Distillation, which is the most common method of applying steam or water and steam to plant material in a sealed sill and removing the volatile components of the plant.

      Enfleurage, which is a process of embedding the flower petals or fragrant herbs in purified and odorless fat and letting the essential oils infuse the fat; the fat is then washed with alcohol to separate the oils.

      Maceration, in which the flowers are soaked in hot oil that absorbs the essence; the essential oil is then decanted out.

      Solvent extracted methods, which use other chemical solvents to extract oils from plants that have low yield.

      And other processes like mechanical pressing. 

      Can All Plants Produce Essential Oils?

      Only a thousand or so plants out of the hundreds of thousands of known plant species are recognized as being able to give us essential oils.

      Plants store the oils in the form of micro droplets (microscopic droplets you can't see) in certain glands. The oils then diffuse through the glandular walls and spread over the plant's surface, before evaporating and filling the air with fragrance. 

      Oils can be extracted from flowers, leaves, roots, and wood. It is not very clear why plants need essential oils, but it may be to attract insects to flowers or protect the plants from parasites and animals. 

      How Long Have Essential Oils Been Used?

      Essential oils have been used for quite a long time. Archeological evidence shows that distillation of plants to prepare distilled aromatic waters or floral waters has been done since the Middle Ages. Even further back we had Zosimus of Panoplis, a fifth century writer, writing about what he called divine water. The first known records of essential oil use are from ancient civilizations of Persia, India, and Egypt. There is also evidence that essential oils were extracted with some simple methods in ancient Rome, Greece, and the
