Ancient Remedies
People of ancient civilizations used entire
plants, extracts, and various plant parts to
make life easier, transforming the gifts of
the earth into everything from textiles to
remedies. Ancient people believed that the
earth gave them everything they needed to
solve all of their problems.
You might not realize it, but essential oils can be used
to improve nearly any activity of the day. Here’s how
your day might go if you used essential oils.
We’ve established that essential
oils can be a useful tool for those
looking to escape synthetic
chemicals and live a more holistic,
natural lifestyle. But what exactly
are essential oils? Where do they
come from? How do we get them?
The exact process of producing an essential oil varies
depending on what type of plant the oil comes from.
However, the basic idea is to separate the oil from its
original plant part. This is done using specialised machinery.
As mentioned earlier, essential oils can hide within different
parts of plants, often in microscopic amounts. Specialised
machinery helps separate the microscopic oil molecules
from their delicate plant parts.
From washing your hair and cleaning your kitchen
counter to ingesting oils for digestive health and
beyond, essential oils can become a regular part of
your day.
Essential oils have changed daily routines for
millions of people around the world.
Now, you’ve learned that essential oils are all
around us. You’ve seen how our ancestors used
the natural world to care for themselves and their
families. We’ve even walked through the journey
that a plant must take to become an essential oil.
You know that when you use essential oils, you
have the power of the Earth in your hands. With this
knowledge, hopefully it’s easy to see why people
around the world have used and continue to use
essential oils to improve their quality of life.
Because you have so many different oils to choose from, even those with specific health concerns and sensitivities can enjoy the benefits essential oils have to offer.
