are distilled from flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds of plants. The
distillation process is what makes essential oils so concentrated. It often
requires an entire plant or more to produce a single drop of distilled
essential oil. For example, it takes thousands of flower petals to create the
drops that are in a single bottle of rose oil, and adding just one drop of
peppermint oil to a glass of water has approximately the same concentration as
20 bags of tea.
