Essential oils are the volatile aromatic oils which are extracted from the leaves, flowers, roots and barks of certain plants.
Do not confuse essential oils with fragrance oils. Essential oils are 100% pure plant oils with no added ingredients. Fragrance oils are blends of synthetic compounds which are meant to be used for aromatic purposes only such as to scent potpourri and candles. Essential oils can be used for both medicinal and aromatic purposes. Many essential oils can also be used for culinary purposes.
