Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants that capture the plant’s scent and flavor, or “essence.” They are used in aromatherapy, an alternative medicine form that uses plant extracts to support health. Aromatherapy has many benefits, such as relieving headache pain, helping with anxiety and stress, improving sleep quality, and even fighting inflammatory conditions.
