Finding Essential Oils Online
Which Oils Are Truly 100% Pure And SAFE To Buy?
Finding essential oils online is easy, but which ones should you buy? They all say 100% organic ,100% pure, they are all the best. See all those ads to the right! Should you go with the cheapest, most expensive or biggest bottle for your buck? It all depends on what you are going to do with them. Do you intend to use them for fragrancing the house, use them in an oil burner or lamp ring? By all means, pick any oil that sounds and looks good. Most oils on the market are food grade/fragrance oils. If at any point in time you intend to apply this oil to your body or put it in a cold air diffuser to clean your home, BUYER BEWARE, you should be using a therapeutic grade oil now. Approximately 95% of essential oils on the market today are adulterated, extended, or mixed in some form. Most essential oils online are sold by companies that have the best of intentions but lack the testing equipment, expertise and quality control measures needed to guarantee 100% pure, therapeutic grade, pesticide-free oils. Only a handful of companies in the entire world grow, distill, research, quarantine and test, and bottle their own therapeutic grade oils. So...if you want to use essential oils and see results, you need to learn more about that company selling essential oils online.
Where Does All That Lavender Come From?
Did you know more essential oil of lavender is sold every year, than is naturally grown and produced in the entire world? Where does all that lavender oil come from?Well, the original oil is extended many times over by adding odorless chemicals, substituting ingredients and dilution with similar oils. "The adulteration of essential oils is a huge problem to the integrity of therapeutic aromatherapy." I attended a lecture by Dr. Herve Casabianca, a scientist who helped implement the European AFNOR standard for essential oils. He explained that it's very easy to duplicate lemon essential oil in the lab. The oil can pass basic Gas-Chromatography testing and be sold as 100% lemon oil. Scary.
Oils should be tested with GC-analysis equipment calibrated for essential oils and not synthetic substances.
Most independent labs are set up to test synthetic chemicals and fragrances. They only use a 30 meter column length graph, whereas essential oils need a 50 to 60 meter column length. Mass spectrometer testing should also be performed as it weeds out synthetic substances the GC analysis can miss. Some other things to consider when buying essential oils online: - Your essential oil of lavender may say 100% pure, but could have been distilled from the wrong species of lavender plant. Lavendin is often used because of it's similar fragrance.
- Essential oil plants may have been grown organically in 100% pure soil, but what if chemicals were added during distillation to obtain more oils from the plant?
- How about this scenario - the correct plant species, organic soil production, no chemicals added at the distillation plant, BUT the distiller uses too much pressure in the kettles, ups the temperature to 400°, and the plant material isn't distilled long enough?
With all of the above, fragile components of plants are destroyed and never make it to your bottle. The healing properties you need are not there. The oil may smell good, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS! 100% Pure, may still be 100% useless.
Therapeutic grade essential oils have a rounded, full, smooth fragrance and feel. Since they are distilled in small batches there may be slight differences in fragrance. Reactions to therapeutic grade oils are always intenser. Faster healing, deeper relaxation, bigger weight loss, greater emotional highs. Aromatherapists and massage therapists see a big difference when they start using therapeutic grade essential oils. These oils are alive, literally (a frequency can be measured), and make you want to be alive!.
Your purchase of essential oils online should include education and support
Using essential oils to improve your health is a fun learning process, but with no one to guide you on their use and safety, oils will soon end up in your cabinet. Forgo the cheaper oils in the health food store, bypass the discounted essential oils online websites. You'll be on your own in trying to figure out how to use them.
A Company At The Forefront Of New Discoveries.
When Young Living planted their first lavender and peppermint starts, on a few acres of virgin land in Idaho, it was with a vision of bringing back to the world the art and science of aromatherapy. Now, 15 years later, it's founder Gary Young is producing exclusive essential oils from the jungles of Brazil and Ecuador.He is introducing new plant species and discovering oils with unsurpassed levels of healing compounds. Learn about Copaiba oil, Palo Santo or "Holy Wood", and a new Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus blue. Young Living involves the natives in Ecuador in harvesting plants and makes sure there will be sustainable growth and no harm done to the environment for decades to come.
If there is a shortage of plants or harvesting of plants is unsustainable Young Living will not put that oil on the market
Customers had to wait on the precious, healing and powerful oil of Helichrysum for almost a year. Because of drought conditions in Eastern Europe there was not enough available to sustain demand and above all at the quality expected from Young Living oils. I've held on to my bottle of birch essential oil for years because there is not enough, sustainable, GOOD birch wood available in the world . You found a supplier of birch essential oil you say? I am willing to bet my own bottle the oil does not live up to AFNOR and Young Living standards and you may not know what is really in that bottle.
