What are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are the “life blood” of the plant. Extracted through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing, the purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanicals from which they come. Anytime you use Young Living essential oils, you are experiencing nature’s pure essence. The uses are endless, aromatherapy, personal care, household solutions, every aspect of daily life can benefit from the incorporation of essential oils.
