Question........ What are essential
oils?
Answer..... Essential oils are named "essential"
oils as they were believed to be
essential to life and they were
the "essence" of the plant.
The use of essential oils as preservatives and
scents goes back to ancient history.
Pure essential oils are extracted from plants and
plant material such as
leaves, stems, flowers, bark,
roots or grasses and
are highly concentrated and potent oils.
They are usually volatile and most of them are
easily vaporized.
The health benefits associated with pure essential
oils are numerous.
The main methods of extraction of pure essential
oils are
steam distillation, cold pressing and solvent
extraction.
At Bonvale Creations we sell only 100% Pure
Essential Oils.
We do not use oils that have been extracted by
solvents as they can be left with solvent residues
that can give serious side effects and detract from
the pure essential oil thus obtained.
