【Common Q&A about essential oils】

1. What is essential oil/aromatherapy?
The so-called aromatherapy is actually the use of aromatic molecules "essential oils" or "hydrosols" extracted from plants, which are inhaled, massaged, or even eaten to regulate and improve one's physical and mental state. The most common effects include relaxation and decompression, improving concentration, soothing muscles, tightening skin, etc. In fact, as early as 3000 BC in ancient Egypt, there were records that the Egyptians used plants to make ointments, scented powders and fragrant oils, which were used for medical treatment, beauty and even mummification.

2. How do essential oils work?
Essential oils are actually concentrated essences composed of "aromatic molecules" with different functions, so each "aromatic molecule" has different functions, just like plants from different origins have different "aromatic molecules" when extracted from essential oils, so they will have different functions.
Take rosemary as an example. When rosemary grows at different altitudes, the degree to which it absorbs sunlight will directly affect the "aromatic molecules" extracted from it. Rosemary grown on the plains can relieve respiratory problems, while rosemary grown at high altitudes contains camphor, which can relieve muscle fatigue.

3. How to choose the essential oil that suits you?
There are many essential oil products on the market, but are they all suitable for you? First of all, we need to know what effect we want, just like we want to relieve stress? Take care of your skin? Clean your scalp? Is it to relieve respiratory problems? The second is to trust our own sense of smell. When we use essential oils , we will definitely smell their scent, so it is very important to choose one that we like.

It is best to choose a reputable brand. Mességué's products are 100% pure and natural essential oils. Pure essential oils mean that they are not mixed with other substances, and natural essential oils mean that no pesticides are added when the plants grow, which will make their efficacy more significant. Because it is pure essential oil, it often takes dozens of kilograms of plants (sometimes even several tons) to produce 1 liter of essential oil, so pure essential oil is so precious.

4. What is phototoxicity?
Orange essential oils, such as lemon essential oil, grapefruit essential oil, and sweet orange essential oil, are all photosensitizers, which means they increase the body's sensitivity to ultraviolet rays. Therefore, they should not be exposed to sunlight within 24 hours after use. Otherwise, it can easily cause skin burns or pigmentation problems.
