Dr. Susan Lawton
Discovering how essential oils are different from herbs and food supplements is an important step in learning the variety of ways to use these powerful plant oils.
Essential oils are the heartbeat of the plant kingdom, and are perhaps the most exciting life-giving substance we have in the world today. They represent in plants what blood represents in humankind – life! This heartbeat is the energy that was created to deliver the nutrients into every cell of the body. Defined; Essential oils are the subtle, volatile liquids that are distilled from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, bushes and seeds. An ancient process, oil distillation is a delicate and precise art that has been almost forgotten. Science is just now re-discovering the incredible healing power of essential oils, and beginning to acknowledge their value for our health.
