ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OILS & EXTRACTS

An organic essential oil is one that has been produced from plants or herbs that have been grown or processed using these organic principles. Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation, often by using steam. Essential oils are often used for aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine in which healing effects are ascribed to aromatic compounds. An extract is a substance made by extracting a part of a raw material, often by using a solvent such as ethanol, oil or water. Extracts may be sold as tinctures, absolutes or in powder form.
