Herb Information 
Thousands of plant species grow throughout the world, and many of them have been used for centuries. Active elements present in the plants have a direct impact on the body.
There is a distinction between essential oils and herbs. For example, lavender flowers yield essential oil by a process of steam distillation, and herbs are yield, by drying the fresh unprocessed lavender flowers; both having some of the same benefits in different forms.
- Herbs that are used in Keydora's bath oils, phtytotherapy bath salts and soaps are dried fresh (both organic and certified organic).
