Flowers, seeds, stems, bark, leaves, and roots are the sources of volatile aromatic oils in essential oils
Essential oils, which are obtained through mechanical
pressing or distillation, are concentrated plant extracts that retain the
natural smell and flavor of their source. Each essential oil has a unique
composition of chemicals, and this variation affects the smell, absorption, and
effects on the body. The chemical composition of an essential oil may vary
within the same plant species, or from plant to plant.

Essential oils are plant extracts of volatile aromatic oils
derived from flowers, seeds, stems, bark, leaves, and roots. These oils are
valuable because they capture the flavour and scent of the plant from which
they are extracted. Essential oils, also known as ethereal oils, volatile oils,
or aetherolea, are extracted using a variety of methods, including
distillation. These oils are utilised as aromatic and flavouring agents because
they contain terpenes, phenols, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, lactones,
coumarins, esters, and ethers.
The therapeutic effects of essential oils are determined by
the plant from which they are extracted. Citronella oil, for example, is
antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiseptic, antibacterial, and
anti-inflammatory, whilst lemon oil is antiviral, disinfectant, bactericidal,
hemostatic, astringent, febrifuge, and antiseptic. Essential oils are in high
demand due to their medicinal and fragrant characteristics. The growing demand
for natural products is driving up demand for essential oils in the food and
beverage, cosmetics, personal care, and healthcare industries.
