Essential oils are taken from a plant's flowers, leaves, stalks, bark, rind, or roots. The yield of essential oil differs with individual plant species-ranging in most cases from about 0.2 to 2.0%. That's why literally tons of plant material are required for just a few hundred pounds of oil.

It is important to note that the benefits of aromatherapy do depend on the unique nature of each person's response to an aromatic stimulus.
