Essential oils are the substances that give plants or parts of them - their aroma. Some plants yield different oils from their various parts; the bitter orange tree, yields neroli oil from its blossom, orange oil from its fruit peel, and petitgrain from its leaves and twigs. But other plants contain very little essential oil. These essences contain that living element, often referred to as the "soul" of the plant, which provides each plant with its own life force, its own energies and healing powers.
Essential oils vary in their natural qualities and constituencies. Most oils are not greasy and are thin in texture, with the exception of a few oils that become thicker in consistency over time. The colour of the oil varies from clear, through pale to dark yellow, amber, pink, reddish brown, and pale to dark olive green to blue. Each essential oil, volatile by nature - which means that it will evaporate quickly when comes in contact with atmosphere - must be contained in a dark-glass bottle in order to preserve it. Only a few drops of essential oil are used at one time.
