The Science of Essential Oils
The chemical constituents and aromatics of plants, flowers, roots, stems, seeds, fruits, peels, leaves, and bark have been extracted, isolated, and even synthesized over the centuries for medicinal, psycho-emotional therapies, olfactory-mood enhancements, and pharmacological use for pain management, musculoskeletal and cardio-pulmonary circulatory issues, digestion, as well as in the food industry for flavorings and as natural preservatives.
