If you are new to the world of essential oils, there are some basics to know. Essential oils are the highly concentrated essence of flowers, seeds, barks, skins and plant shoots. Imagine this - the peels of 50 yellow lemons squeezed in a 15 ml bottle! There is a plethora of energy naturally concentrated in each bottle.

An essential oil takes on the intense scent of its vegetable source and is filled with active natural compounds. Some drops of any essential oil can be spread to fill the air of an aroma that increases the mood for hours. Essential oils can also be applied to the skin and hair by mixing them with "carriers" for skin care (like canine rose oil and odorless lotion). When the active ingredients of these essences enter the body through topical use or inhalation, they can benefit the body by relieving pain, nourishing hair, or reducing the appearance of scars. When inhaled, they can help the mind by increasing the mood or helping you relax or concentrate.

The active ingredients of essential oils act both on the mind and on the body. Your sense of smell is one of the most powerful sensory stimuli. It can potentially trigger changes in memory, emotions, and mood. When you inhale active ingredients in essential oils, they act through your olfactory senses to give you feelings of energy, balance, strength or calm. Essential oils can also enter your body through absorption through the skin. The active components cross both the skin in the blood stream and are inhaled with the tight topical contact.

Science is still recovering the traditional uses of essential oils. Some plant extracts have been studied by science, others are not. Lavender, for example, has been scientifically proven to help with some types of hair loss.1 But even though lavender has been anecdotally propagated to help with relaxation, mood, bruising, burns and stretch marks, science is not yet available to show that it works for everyone for these purposes.

Essential oils come from all over the world. We experience our essential oils from India, France, California and Italy. Each county has a unique growth condition that is ideal for any plant source. After harvesting, the plants are processed by steam distillation or cold squeezing to obtain essential oils. Sometimes the leaves are used, sometimes the flower or the fruit ... depends on which part of the plant has the best and best quality oil content. Essential oil is bulk delivered to the United States, where it is tested and screened for quality, so it is bottled. BCL Spa offers resistant oils for specific aromatherapy purposes. Some of our essential oils are combined in effective blends and delicious smell, and some of them are cut with a natural vector oil to create a safe strength for use on the skin.
