Though there are new Essential Oils being researched upon today, there exist about 300 today that play a crucial role in the medical, food, and cosmetic industries. These aromatic liquid substances are extracted from certain species of fruits, flowers, leaves, roots, and trees, and each single Essential Oil has many diverse functions in itself.
