What Are Essential Oils?
One of the most important classes of natural compounds, essential oils are derived from aromatic plants, with over 3000 varieties identified to date. Varying from plant to plant, botanical family to botanical family, and species to species, they are integral to the DNA of plant-life and instrumental in performing key functions that include defence, protection and growth.
