Essential oils are derived from different parts of various plants. They come from petals, roots, rinds, stalks, seeds, sap, nuts, leaves, or bark, depending on the plant’s unique aromatic properties.
Jasmine essential oil comes from the flower petals, and because the scent of this flower is most concentrated at night when the flowers are one day old, they need to be hand-picked before dawn to obtain the best oil. Also, different oils can come from a single plant. For example, the orange tree produces three oils: neroli from the blossoms, petitgrain from the leaves, and orange oil from the fruit’s zest. Each is an individual oil with its own properties.
Aromas from essential oils can soothe a headache, lull you to sleep, speed healing, and calm nervous tension. Whether you realize it or not, you’re affected by these essential oils every day. When you cut a lime, its essential oil squirts out and instantly evaporates into the air, releasing a tangy, sharp, citrus smell that has a refreshing effect.
The following oils are derived from traditional Thai herbs and flowers. All are familiar aromas in Thai cuisine and healing treatments. They can be used alone or combined for different effects.
