| What's the Big Deal about Essential Oils Essential Oils are one of the greatest untapped resources in the world. The concentrated essences of various flowers, fruit, plants and herbs have been used for centuries all over the world. Because the essential oils are sweet-smelling, many people think their value is essentially one of charm and fragrance - but this is a mistake. Modern scientific research has proven that essential oils are potent, with amazing medicinal properties. These substances are very powerful and complex in their molecular structure. Unlike chemical drugs, essential oils do not remain in the body. They don't leave any toxins behind. And essential oils make much more sense as air fresheners than commercial products. They cleanse the air by altering the structure of the molecules creating the smells, rather than masking the unwanted odors. Read on for a description of the most popular essential oils. |
