An essential oil is a concentrated oil, sometimes known as volatile (simply because the oil is hydrophobic) oil.

An oil is described as 'essential' in the sense that it carries a distinctive scent of the plant. Generally essential oils are extracted by distillation, or by pressing the relevant part of the plant that is used, usually cold-pressed.

Used medicinally throughout history essential oils have now built up a huge following for the treatment of many conditions ranging from insomnia through to skin conditions, via mental alertness and relaxation.

Essential Oils can be used in many ways, including:

• Aerial diffusion - using an oil burner / light ring for diffusing the essential oil around a room
• Direct inhalation - placing the essential in a bowl of hot water or other receptacle to inhale directly, like you would a decongestant i.e. menthol crystals
• Topical applications - for general massage, baths, compresses and skincare
