I count essential oils are those rare gems of Indian medicinal wisdom that exists for centuries. It is as old as our Vedas and Puranas. When we talk about Herbs, roots, and extracts, essential oils are inherently part of this precious family. I use essential oils in various ways and for various purposes. It took me around 2-3 years to gain a partial knowledge about various essential oils that are now a regular commodity at my home. Each essential oil has its distinct unique properties. Some are known, some are still unknown.
