Essential Oil; Liquid that Contains Volatile Chemical Compounds Extracted from Plants
Essential Oil |
An essential oil is a natural oil obtained by distillation
and having the characteristic odor of the plant or other source from which it
is extracted. Essential oils are highly concentrated natural extracts from the
stems, leaves, seeds, roots, or flowers of the plant. Cornmint, tea tree,
lemon, orange, lavender, and peppermint are some of the most commonly used
essential oils. These oils are used as aromatic and flavoring agents, as they
contain several organic compounds such as phenols, terpenes, alcohols, ketones,
aldehydes, lactones, esters, coumarins, and ethers.

Essential oils have a wide range of medicinal and
therapeutic properties. Their anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties
make them a useful product in medicine. They help reduce pain, relieve
headaches, and promote healthy sleep. Moreover, essential oils can help treat
the common cold, improve skin conditions, and encourage healthy digestion. The
most common way to use essential oils is to inhale them, both for their
therapeutic properties and amazing scent. Thus, there is an increasing demand
for these oils worldwide.
Studies have also shown that essential oils could help boost
mood, improve job performance through reduced stress and increase
attentiveness. Lavender is the most popular aromatherapy oils. It can be used
to calm anxiety, has a sedative effect, and help with sleep troubles, including
if feelings of stress or anxiety are keeping people up at night. Inhaling
essential oils isn't just pleasant because of their gorgeous scents and aromas
they release, but it can actually positively affect both mental and physical
wellbeing too.
The National Institute of Health provides a thorough summary
via the U.S. National Library of Medicine of research conducted into the
efficacy of essential oils. However, currently, there is no evidence-backed
research showing any illnesses/diseases that can be cured through the use of
essential oils or the practice of aromatherapy.
