Essential Oil Properties

 

Aromatherapy treatments use these oils to relieve a number of common ailments, and because the oils are highly concentrated, a little bit goes a long way. By selecting essential oils that have common properties, it is easier to achieve a desired effect. For example, to stop perspiration, combine oils that have antisudorific properties: clary sage, cypress and sage.
