Think About Your Daily Routine
You wake up, maybe shower, brush your teeth, and pop a few vitamins into your mouth.
Throughout the day, you complete tasks like laundry, pouring a capful of bleach into the washing machine.
Then wipe down your kitchen counter with a cleaning chemical.
Maybe you light a synthetic candle to bring an inviting smell into your house while you clean.
In the afternoon, you might feel a little sleepy, so you get a coffee or soda to give you a jolt.
In the evening, you go through your nightly routine, and perhaps you turn on a sound machine to help you sleep.
You might not realize it, but essential oils can be used to improve nearly any activity of the day.
Here's how your day might go if you used essential oils:
You wake up feeling a little groggy, so you inhale Grapefruit oil for an energizing aroma.
You turn on the shower and use a little Tea Tree oil on your scalp to help your hair look fuller.
As you prepare for the day, you swallow a drop of Frankincense oil for cellular health.
You wipe the kitchen counter with Lemon oil and a rag, breathing in the clean, refreshing aroma.
You add a drop of Peppermint to your water in the afternoon to wake yourself up.
As you get ready for bed, you place a few drops of Lavender on your pillow to create a relaxing experience.
Learn more about how essential oils may be used in many daily activities.

Where Do Essential Oils Come From?
Scientists estimate that there are 390,000 plants on the Earth- with new species being discovered all the time.
Essential oils can be found in hundred of thousands of these diverse plants within the planet's colossal mountains, green valleys, leafy jungles, and vast forests.
Oils are typically produced in microscopic, specialized glands within the seeds, bark, stems, flowers, roots, wood, needles, and fruit of the plants.
The amount of essential oil that a plant produces will vary depending on the time of day, the current season or time of year, climate and environmental conditions, and predatory threats.
Essential Oils, also known as Volatile Aromatic Compounds
VOLATILE
A volatile compound is one that changes quickly from one state to another.
AROMATIC
Typically, aromatic compounds have a distinct aroma and a similar chemical structure.
COMPOUND
The bonding of two or more chemical elements.
Essential oils are scientifically referred to as volatile aromatic compounds- small organic molecules that are known to change quickly from a solid or liquid state to a gas at room temperature.
When you first open an essential oil bottle, you'll be able to smell the aroma right away; the physical and chemical makeup of volatile aromatic compounds allow them to move quickly through the air or interact with special sensors in the nose.
The type of volatile aromatic compounds found in an essential oil will determine what kind of aroma and benefits the oil has.
Essential oils will vary from plant to plant or species to species, and can even differ within botanical families.
Each plant has a special ratio of aromatic constituents that give it specific benefits and make it unique in comparison to other plants.
