What does E.O. stand for?
Essential oils. Essential oils are special aroma chemicals manufactured by certain plants that are stored within special cells. Ancient cultures discovered how to distill or use other methods to extract these oils for use as flavoring, cosmetics, and medicine. Today they remain useful to us in many ways. With increased methods of extraction, advanced agricultural practices, and better shipping procedures we have greatly increased the selection, production and availability of essential oils worldwide. The production and use of these oils can help protect small farms and keep people employed locally. They are also much healthier for use on our skin.
