Essential Oils enter and leave the body with great efficiency, and leave no toxins behind. External application or inhalation is the most effective entry point for essential oils. Compresses, lotions, baths, hair rinses are most effective because the oils do not have to come in contact with the digestive system and become altered by their chemistry.
