Essential Oils - Natural Room Fresheners

They are aromatic, concentrated extracts. The very essence of the plant creates wonderful room scent.

The parts of plants used to create the oils include: flowers, grasses, leaves, the peel of fruit, wood, root, beans, needles, seeds and twigs.

The oils are produced through three methods:

distillation - with either water or steam
expression - mechanically processed, known as cold pressing
maceration - where the plant is placed in warm water to steep, thus causing the oils to seperate from the source

Use essential oil to add scent to your home.
