ESSENTIAL OILS....SOME INFORMATION @ THEM.
Questions and Answers:
Q: I am not so sure what essential oils are.. could you tell me?
A: Gladly. Essential oils, aka ethereal or volatile oils, are oils which are combined with extracts from nature. Such as rosemary or lavender, among other things. Essential means that they are the essence of what they came from, as pure as could possibly be extracted. They are concentrated and potent of their essence.
Q: What uses do Essential Oils have?
A: They have had many uses in the past and still have many today. Essential oils can be used for anything ranging from aromatherapy, homemade arts such as candles, soaps, and they aren't just limited to applications for their smell, they are also very useful as bug repellants and flavors for some food or drink. Some of them also hold various natural medicinal and/or theraputic properties.
Q: Can I take your oils internally or eat/drink them?
A: We do not recommend you take any of our oils internally unless otherwise directed on the listing. Make sure when you take any oils internally it is under the guidance of a doctor.
