Natural Essential Oils

Natural essential oils are the oils which are extracted from the plants, seeds, and fruits.



They contain the essence of the plant from which they are obtained. These oils are natural products and have a minimum number of unwanted side effects.



They are mostly extracted using steam distillation or the mechanical expression of plant materials. The essential oils used in aromatherapy treatments of common diseases fall in the category of natural oils.



These healing natural oils are used for massage purposes and are often the key ingredients of many medicines.

When used in aromatherapy massage, all natural oils are used in combination with vegetable-based carrier oils such as olive, almond, hazelnut and grape seed. This is because essential oils are highly concentrated oils and massaging them directly on the skin may cause allergic side effects.
