Essential Oils Guided Tour Part II:
Introduction To Essential Oils - The Basics


"As a neuromuscular therapist, I have found Young Living's Essential Oils to be amazingly effective with hypertonicity, spasms, head-aches, scar tissue, and acutue-chronic pain to such a degree that my clients continue to use these products even after therapy has ended."  -Isla Howard, LMT, Phoenix, AZ


Young Living Essential Oils:

When you order from Young Living, you are guaranteed the Essential Oils in their collection are of the highest quality you will find anywhere. Young Living's mission is to share these life-enhancing gifts from the plant kingdom. Essential Oils have been revered for centuries for their restorative properties to body, mind, and spirit. And now they are available to you! Before you begin to use the oils, however, it's important you learn a bit more about them.

Essential Oil Basics:

Essential Oils are the highly concentrated, volatile, aromatic essences of plants. Essential Oils contain hundreds of organic constituents, including hormones, vitamins and other natural elements that work on many levels. They are 75 to100 times more concentrated than the oils in dried herbs and much more powerful. All the countries of the world provide Essential Oils, making aromatherapy a truly global therapy, and information on the specific properties of each of the Essential Oils can be found in any one of the hundreds of books published worldwide on the topic.

Not All Oils Are Created Equal:

There are significant differences between synthetic fragrance oils and pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils. Synthetic fragrance oils may duplicate the smell of the pure botanical, but the complex chemical components of each Essential Oil created in nature determine its true aromatic benefits. Synthetic fragrance oils do not have medicinal properties and are NOT suitable for aromatherapy.

Gems Of Nature:

Pure Essential Oils, like precious jewelry or fine wine, are gems of nature and are the quintessential life force of aromatic plants, sometimes called the "soul" of the plant. People who truly appreciate the qualities of pure Essential Oils consider each drop a precious jewel to be savored, enjoyed and protected. Essential Oils are absorbed into the fluid surrounding the cells beneath the skin's surface for a variety of effects including deep cleansing, nourishing, rejuvenating and balancing. Essential Oils can also be diffused into the air to provide many olfactory benefits.

Extraction Of Essential Oils
To extract Essential Oils in the most effective manner while preserving their therapeutic benefits, they must be either distilled or expressed. The two methods are briefly explained below.

Distillation
Pure Essential Oils are most commonly extracted from plants through the process of steam distillation. In this process, steam is introduced into a distillation chamber which contains the plant material. The steam breaks down the plant tissue, causing it to release its essential oil in a vaporized form. The vaporized essences, along with the steam and other substances, pass into a pipe through cooling tanks. The vapors return to liquid form and are separated from the water and captured as pure essential plant oil.

Expression
Expression, also known as cold pressing, is done exclusively with citrus oils. In this method, the oil-containing outer layer of the fruit is pressed and filtered to yield pure Essential Oil. It takes 50 pounds of Eucalyptus, 150 pounds of Lavender, 500 pounds of Rosemary, 1,000 pounds of Jasmine and over 2,000 pounds of Rose to make a single pound of Essential Oil! The price of each Essential Oil is directly related to the amount of plant material needed for distillation.
