Essential oils are plant extracts generally used for their health promoting factors. These are used in aromatherapy, naturotherapy and also added in skincare products like moisturizers and serums. These oils are known to help promote overall wellness of the body and mind. They are obtained by methods of distillation or cold-pressing. They are not to be consumed by swallowing or added in food as they are inedible. The oils can be applied on skin or just inhaled which helps to stimulate emotions, mood, memory and behavior.
