@roshellezielinski: Essential oils vs. herbal infused oils... are not the same! These two often get lumped together, but they are not interchangeable. While both come from plants, the way they’re made, how they work, and how they’re used are completely different. Essential oils are highly concentrated and volatile. Think of them as the distilled soul of a plant. They can be powerful allies in aromatherapy but must be used with caution. One drop goes a long way, and ingestion without proper training can be dangerous. Herbal infused oils, also called macerated oils, on the other hand, are gentle, nourishing, and often safe for skin and even internal use when made with the right herbs and oils. These are slow extractions of whole-plant medicine into a carrier oil, capturing vitamins, antioxidants, and healing properties that essential oils don’t contain. If you’ve ever had a reaction to a “natural” product, there’s a chance it contained essential oils that were too strong for your skin. This is why knowing the difference matters for your body, your safety, and your herbal practice. Not all oils are created equal. • One supports nervous system balance, skin healing, and deep nourishment. • The other delivers potent aromatic compounds in microdoses. Use wisely. Use with knowledge.
