Essential oils are extracted from various parts of a plant using a distillation method. Essential oils are not actually oils, but are rather concentrated liquid forms of the plant from which they were extracted. They can be used by massaging directly on the skin or diffusing the oil into the air to allow it to enter the body though the lungs. Oils are used for a variety of things, there are even essential oils for back pain and acne.
Essential oils can be used as singles or blends. Single oil is one specific oil, for instance, rosewood or gentle baby. Blends are mixtures of two or more single oils.
The way they work?
- Pass easily through our skin and cell membranes
- Diffuse through the entire body within a ½ hour
- Go directly to the brain through the olfactory bulb
- Affect our feelings and thoughts through our sense of smell since it is our most emotional sense
- Perform multiple functions because of their structural complexity
If you are looking for a natural way to restore a youthful appearance, I would recommend essential oils as your daily practice. The following blend will help enhance your skin by evening skin tone, minimizing wrinkles such as crow’s feet, and help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. All oils bring oxygen to tissue to promote healthy cells. A single oil can benefit you physically, emotionally, and mentally in more than one way or one area of treatment.
