The Power of Aromatherapy
Loving attention to detail from start to finish NOW insists on the best raw materials, gentle processing methods, and an industry-leading commitment to quality when creating our essential oils. Tap into the ancient healing of aromatherapy with our purity tested/quality assured essential oil products.
What are essential oils?
Essential oils are the naturally occurring, volatile oils obtained by steam distillation or cold pressing (expression), having the characteristic aroma of the plant part from which it was derived.
These pure oils are "neat", meaning they have not been processed, diluted or manipulated in any way with solvents or other additives. Although a particular species of plant harvested and distilled for its essential oil during a particular growing season in a specific region may produce a fragrance that differs from the same species grown in a different region, many of the main chemical markers and physical specifications may be very similar.
NOW's citrus fruit essential oils are 100% cold pressed. Our other essential oils are typically 100% steam distilled.
Types of Essential Oils:
Camphoraceous Scented Oils
A camphoraceous scent is one that’s similar to camphor; a strongly aromatic, almost medicinal scent. Camphoraceous essential oils include eucalyptus, frankincense, hyssop, marjoram, rosemary, sage and, of course, camphor.
Floral Scented Oils
Essential oils derived from flowering botanical sources are referred to as floral scents. These floral essential oils include clary sage, chamomile, geranium, jasmine, juniper berry, lavender, rose, and ylang ylang.
Mint Scented Oils
Herbs in the mint family are strongly aromatic, and the scent has long been revered by herbalists. In fact, in Greek mythology, mint is referred to as “the herb of hospitality.” One of the first known uses of mint was as an air deodorizer. If you’re looking for a mint essential oil, look for pennyroyal, peppermint, spearmint and wintergreen, among others.
Musky Scented Oils
Musky essential oils have robust, earthy scents that are particularly penetrating and titillating to our sense of smell. These include myrrh, patchouli and citronella.
Spicy Scented Oils
Aromatic and invigorating, spicy essential oils can liven up any room. Essential oils with this type of scent include anise, basil, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, oregano, tea tree, thyme, and more.
Sweet Scented Oils
One of the most popular scent categories, our sweet-scented oils include citronella, grapefruit, lemongrass, lemon, lime, orange and tangerine.
Woodsy Scented Oils
The fresh, natural, earthy scent of these essential oils will remind you of a walk through a forest of aromatic plants and trees, including Atlas cedar, balsam fir, clove, cedarwood, cypress and pine.
