Essential Oil, Turmeric

Essential oils are oils extracted from of a plant. An essential oil is essential in the sense that it contains the essence of the plant’s fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived. They are used to support or improve health conditions. Just a few drops of essential oil is enough mixed with oil or in water.  That’s why they are used in aromatherapy for example. They are also sometimes used during massage treatments. Essential oils are also used to fragrance a room. Some people put a few drops in a bottle of water and spray it around etc. But be careful about using essential oils directly on the skin. Dilute it with a skin oil, lotion, or water.
