| Aromatherapy
essential oils refer to oils that are extracted from plant sources
and these oils must contain potent, aromatic compounds. Such
oil is usually extracted from the plant source through the process
of distillation, expression or solvent extraction. There has
been enough archeological evidence to suggest that such oils
have been used for their aroma-therapeutic value since ancient
times by various cultures of the world. |

However
research also shows that while most cultures appreciates the
value of these oils in the form of massage oils they were
also used in different ways by people of different cultures.
In modern times, these uses have been experimented and perfected
and aromatherapy essential oils are now available in newer
forms such as in the form of candles.
Pure essential oils are the ideal essential oils for candle-making
and for this purpose usually no added fragrance or perfume
is employed in the manufacturing process. However this point
should be clarified before purchasing aromatherapy candles.
Such candles are available in many different styles such as
pillar candles, candles tins and jars and can be made from
many different oils such as lavender essential oils, peppermint
oil or sweet basil oil for instance.
For healing purposes, it is best to use the pure unadulterated
essential oils only and hence one should specifically ask
for organic essential oils for such uses. Always check the
ingredients listed on the cover to ensure that the manufacturer
has really not added any outside ingredient. Wholesale essential
oils are also available but only make sense to buy is you
plan to manufacture or sell aromatherapy products.
