An essential oil is the concentrated form of liquid that contains the "essence" of a plant or flower's fragrance (such as oil of clove). Essential oils are generally extracted from their source by steam distillation or expression or solvent extraction. They are used as homeopathic remedies, for aromatherapy, and in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and other products.
