Many people, including health-care providers are unaware of the wide range of healing benefits of essential oils. Essential oils are extracted from plant leaves, stems, roots, flowers and seeds through steam distillation. Evidence of essential oils being used for oral health care purposes date back to 200 B.C., when the emperor of China used clove oil to improve halitosis (bad breath) and help with pain management. Ancient Egyptians also used essential oils as medicines to treat various ailments, during the embalming process and in cosmetics.
