Collection: Essential Oils

Essential oils are nature's magical alchemical potions: They are the concentrated volatile organic plant components extracted from a single botanical source and are what create the fragrance flavor of that plant. They are lighter than water and hydrophobic thus float much like fixed oils. They are not like other oils though in that they evaporate due to their ethereal nature. They are called essential because they make up the essence of the plant.  In the concentrated form of essential oil they are powerful effective botanicals that are most often diffused into the air. In this form they are breathed in using diffusers, inhalers, or room sprays and  pass directly into the bloodstream as medicinal components thru the nasal membranes and respiratory system. Also thru the olfactory membranes essential oils send messages directly to the limbic system and cerebral cortex often invoking emotional states of well being like calm, peace and joy and even affect concentration and memory. For those with difficulty digesting and absorbing harsh herbal formulas olfactory essential oils therapy is a welcome alternative.  Essential oils can also be applied to the body at trigger points, pulse points and pressure points.  For example anointing the "Shen Men" point on the ear with Bergamot is very tranquilizing.  And lastly essential oils are a wonderful additive to body care products such as body and face sprays, lotions, and carrier oils for perfume. Our essential oils are elegantly bottled in brilliant cobalt blue glass with bottle sizes ranging from 5/8 dram (2.31 mL) to 1 fluid ounce (30 mL).

*Please note the smallest size bottle is 2.31 mL (5/8 dram) is a very small vial and will typically hold 20 to 40 drops of essential oil depending on the oil's thickness. To compare, a 5 mL bottle will typically hold between 75 and 150 drops and a 30 mL bottle will hold roughly 600 drops.
