Essential oils are natural extracts obtained from aromatic plants, known for their therapeutic properties and unique fragrances. Each oil has a unique profile, ranging from relaxing like lavender to stimulating like lemon or eucalyptus. They are used in aromatherapy, cosmetics and general wellness to promote relaxation, relieve stress and improve mood. In addition, their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make them valuable in health and beauty treatments, making them a natural and versatile choice. Essential oils are also used in food for their aromatic properties and potential benefits. Some oils, such as lemon, peppermint and basil, are used to enhance flavours and preserve food due to their antimicrobial properties.
