Pure and natural Essential Oils
An Essential Oil? It is the result of steam distillation of aromatic plants or trees to extract their essence.
Gasoline? It is a natural aromatic substance that the plant secretes in its producing organs: leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, bark, roots… The essential oil is therefore the distilled essence.
Steam distillation? It is the process that is both the oldest and the one that remains best suited to the extraction of essences, especially if they are to be used for therapeutic purposes. This is also the unique method that Homeocan uses for the Essencia range.

How to use them and what modes of absorption?
There are several ways to use essential oils in aromatherapy and it is important to remember that Essencia oils are used externally. They can be absorbed in particular:
In broadcast
Broadcast EOs intermittently, at a rate of 15 minutes/day. Do not add phenol EOs in a diffuser, as they are irritating to the respiratory mucosa.
Dermal
To use a very good quality lotion, use for friction or massage. Do not apply on the skin certain pure EOs because they are irritating, particularly those rich in monoterpenes and phenol.
WARNING: Avoid pouring essential oils in bath water. The result is that they float to the surface and can cause skin irritation or burns.
Precautions for use & Warnings
Quality essential oils remain rare. Aromatherapy and self-medication: it’s possible but be careful! Although Aromatherapy uses natural products, it is not always “alternative medicine”.

• Do not use orally.
• Avoid contact with eyes, ears, nose, anogenital area and mucous membranes.
