Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that capture the natural aroma and properties of the plant they come from. They are typically extracted through methods like steam distillation or cold pressing and contain the "essence" of the plant’s fragrance and beneficial compounds.
Essential oils are often used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation, relieve stress, or improve mood. They can also be found in cosmetics, cleaning products, and for therapeutic purposes. Examples include lavender for relaxation, tea tree for skin health, and peppermint for energy. They should be diluted before applying to the skin.
