Essential Oils
Plants contain complex and powerful substances known as essential oils. These
are aromatic liquids derived from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and
seeds. These distinctive components defend plants from insects, harsh
environmental conditions, and disease. They are also vital for a plant to grow,
live, evolve, and adapt to its surroundings. Referred to as the essence of the
plant, pure essential oils not only protect the plant but also determine its
aroma.
Producing the highest quality oils can become very costly, because it may
require from several hundred to several thousand pounds of plant material to
extract one pound of oil. For example, one pound of Melissa oil sells for
between $9000 to $15,000. This may sound expensive, but it takes 3 tons of plant
material to produce that one pound of oil!
