The Wilding & Co team is often asked about how to use essential oil. So we thought we’d explain what essential oil and how you can use it.
What is essential oil?
An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. An oil is “essential” in the sense that it contains the “essence of” the plant’s fragrance and can have other qualities, such as healing or anti-bacterial properties.
Wilding & Co produces the world’s finest Douglas fir essential oil, among other high-quality conifer oils, and is the only known company in the world producing essential oil from wilding pine trees.
