What is an Essential Oil? A thoughtful descriptive ~ Thanks SK!! Scientists agree that essential oils may perform more than one function in living plants. In some cases they seem to be a part of the plants immune system. In other cases they may simply be end products of metabolism. Essential oils are said to be healing because they contain hundreds of organic constituents, including hormones, vitamins, and other natural elements that work on many levels. For example, essential oils can be sedative or stimulating. Some are antispasmodic, and most are antibacterial. Essential oils are 75 to 100 times more concentrated than the oils in dried herbs. sharecare/health/essential-oils/what-is-an-essential-oil
