Essential oils are the liquid fragrant and volatile essences of "aromatic" plants, usually extracted through a distillation process. These oils contain the chemical constituents of highly concentrated compounds such as esters, alcohols, aldehydes, oxides, ketones and so on. These compounds are what give the oils there specific medicinal properties. Essential oil usage has been seen as far back as 60,000 years! Many cultures all over the world have used them for their healing benefits and some of these sacred oils were even found to be buried within the tombs of Egyptian kings. These oils were highly regarded for their effects on the spiritual and physical body. How Do They Work? [top]
This is a vast and complex subject taking into account years of scientific research and testing. When we inhale essential oils the molecules are carried through our airways and into our lungs. Here the molecules can enter the blood stream and begin their effects on the body. When we use the oils topically the chemical constituents of the oils can begin working directly on the skin cells and surrounding area. If the oils are used internally, or ingested, the molecules are once again are picked up by the bloodstream and spread throughout the body. This is a VERY basic introduction to how these medicinal oils work, however there are much more in-depth texts and books on this particular subject. What Can They Be Used For? [top]
Essential oils can be used for a variety of things ranging from spiritual enhancement to healing physical ailments. I have seen oils used successfully for asthma attacks, bruises, rashes, bug bites, sore muscles, blemishes and more. These oils can also be used to help ground ones energy, bring joy and lightness to the mind and body and even help treat severe illnesses and disease. Essential oils are Mother Nature's medicine and can be implemented for wide variety of complaints of issues.

Essential oils can be used in a variety of ways, most often of which is to place a few drops of the oil into a diffuser. Diffusers come in many shapes and forms and range can range in quality depending upon the source. I recommend using ionic diffusers as they keep the molecules of the oils in tact when they are diffused through a room. Candle burning diffusers are harder on the oils as the heat of the flame can change the molecular structure. 
Some oils are also great used topically. Lavender for example helps to sooth burnt skin and can be used to clear up a variety of skin conditions. Before using an oil topically however check to make sure it is safe. Some oils such as Thyme and Oregano can burn the skin if they are not used with a carrier oil. Remember, these oils are very concentrated and should be used with care.
Another great way to use essential oils is internally. Many oils can be placed in capsules and ingested (again make sure you have consulted a professional before attempting this) or even used in baking recipes. They can help enhance your immune system and even aid in cleansing or detoxifying programs.
