(next to the cemetery) Daily, Monthly, Yearly RATES By Herbmama Essential oils (e.o.) are distilled from the leaves, bark, roots and other aromatic parts of useful plants. Plants produce these fragrant oils to stimulate growth and reproduction, to attract benefi cial insects & discourage harmful ones & to protect the plant from diseases. They are highly concentrated....a few drops is all you need. They should not be confused with perfume oils or scented oils, as these usually con- tain synthetic ingredients. Distillation is a process of heating the plant in water, capturing the steam & sepa- rating the droplets of essential oil from the steam as it condenses. The result is a highly concentrated oil that captures the fragrance of the plant. A citrus peel is an easy example of a plant's essential oils. When you gently bend the fresh peel back, you see a fi ne spray of the oil coming from that peel. This is the essential oil being released and the part that is captured during the distillation pro- cess. Prices of oils vary, based on how expensive they are to produce, for example... it takes approximately one ton of rose petals (close to 60,000 roses) to produce just one ounce of rose oil!! When an e.o. are inhaled or applied to the skin, the aromatic molecules enter the bloodstream & are circulated throughout the body within seconds to a few minutes!! They are used for a variety of physical conditions, from fi ghting respiratory infec- tions to relieving digestive upsets, headaches & PMS. The effects of e.o.'s on the emotions are the result of a different physiological pathway. The olfactory nerve pathways are tied in with the brain's limbic area, the seat of our emotions, memo- ries, intuition & sexual response. That's why the sense of smell is the most infl uen- tial trigger of memories & emotions. When purchasing e.o.'s, avoid labels that state 'perfume oil', 'fragrance oil' or 'na- ture identical oil'. These are not pure e.o.'s. Reputable companies provide the com- mon and botanical names of the plant, the country of origin, whether wild-crafted or organic & the extraction method. You should only buy e.o.'s on dark glass bottles to protect them from the damaging effects of heat & light. ALL essential oils are therapeutic! Some companies try & use that term to justify their higher prices. Don't let that term alone be your deciding factor in your pur- chase. There is a test you can do to see if the essential oil you have bought is true & not diluted. The fi rst one is to place a drop of your e.o. on a piece of paper. If a greasy spot or residue remains after an hour or two, the product has probably been diluted with other oils. Essential Oil Safety...In general, don't use e.o.'s undiluted (neat) on your skin. Do NOT ingest essential oils without the guidance of a qualifi ed aromatherapy practitioner. There are e.o.'s that can cause photosensitivity, mostly the citrus ones. Keep e.o.'s away from children.
