What is essential oil and what are its benefits?
Essential oil is a volatile aromatic substance extracted from flowers, leaves, stems, roots or fruits of plants by steam distillation, extrusion, cold soaking or solvent extraction.

Essential oils are highly volatile and will evaporate quickly when exposed to air, so they must be kept in a dark bottle that can be sealed.
