Essential Oils

Essential oil is extracted from plants either through steam distillation or cold pressing. It’s a highly concentrated form of the healing aromatic compounds that are found in those plants. Those compounds are responsible for the fragrance of the plant. For example, the chemical component linalool, which is prominent in Lavender, has sedative properties and can help promote sleep. Other specific antibacterial components in Tea Tree or Eucalyptus can act as disinfectant or used for minor skin injuries. Buy essential oils online at ECO Modern Essentials today.

It should be noted that pure essential oil is a highly concentrated substance, so some safety precautions need to be observed. For a healthy adult, most oils are safe to use within an appropriate dosage. However, when using oils for babies, children, during pregnancy, for the elderly or for those with a serious illness, it is prudent to do some research to ensure that you use oils that are suitable and that you use the correct dose.

As a general guide, the gentlest oils include Lavender, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Neroli and citrus essential oils such as Orange, Lemon, Lime, Bergamot and Mandarin. Citrus oils can produce an effect on the skin called photo-toxicity. Citrus oils applied to the skin and then exposed to direct sunlight causes the skin to be more prone to sunburn.

To avoid this, either use citrus oil at night or if you plan to stay inside for most of the day or use them in a diffuser/ inhalation. Oils need to be diluted with a carrier oil before being applied to the skin. Buy essential oil today.
