​PURCHASING QUALITY ESSENTIAL OILS

​

Picture

Shopping for quality essential oils either for therapeutic purposes or for calming effects will allow you to become aware of their level of medicinal grades, farming practices, and its therapeutic properties which can affect your body systems. In pure essential oils, there are hundreds of chemical components that interact when they are mixed together, increasing their individual excellency bringing holistic health to quality essential oils.  

​
​
High-quality essential oils are often very expensive, but you can be sure that they contain the correct elements in the correct proportions and the desired therapeutic properties.  Commercial grade essential oils have been distilled again, forming a lower-grade oil, or have materials added or removed to improve odor, safety, etc.  Synthetic or diluted essential oils are less predictable and less likely to be therapeutically effective. 



The time and effort that goes into producing good-quality essential oils means they can be costly. Therefore, it is important  to be aware that cheaper, adulterated essential oils are on the market and that these will not be as effective as the pricier, pure essential oils.  
​

 
The main methods of adulterating essential oils are:
  • Adding a cheaper oil
  • Diluting with alcohol or other bases
  • Adding a synthetic substance
  • Substitution for a cheaper essential oil​

SYNTHETIC ESSENTIAL OILS
​

​“Clearly if we use standardized essential oils, we are not learning from nature but are simply practicing more of what we already know, that technology can be used to maximize profits.”
 Schnaubelt, Kurt-Healing Intelligence
Picture


​Standardizing and adulterating both alter the original composition of an essential oil.
Practices such as adding cheaper lavandin to lavender oil, or adding corn mint oil (menthaarvenisis) to peppermint oil are, unfortunately, widespread(Hoare). Of greater concern is the use of substitute products or “nature-identical” synthetics: Cassia oil has been found to contain synthetic cinnamic aldehyde, and “red thyme” oil may be wholly synthetic (Hoare).  If the oil is not what you believe it to be, its effectiveness, and even safety, can be compromised (Hoare).
​


Standardization is the adjustment of essential oils so it conforms to a given standard: this is done openly for customers who expect a specific composition. Example: Lavender 40/42, partly or fully synthetic lindyl acetate is added to oil so its concentration reaches between 40 - 40%.  If this is information is hidden and the customer is lead to believe that it is a pure plant product, we would call this adulteration.  
​


​ESSENTIAL OIL QUALITY CONTROL

LEARN MORE

To discern that an essential oil  is in fact pure and authentic is most easily accomplished by: 
  • Knowing its source
  • Ascertaining the name of the producing company 
  • Compare essential oil samples to authentic samples of the producer
  • Cost
  • Reputable supplier
​


Most essential oils are distilled and standardized for use in other productions, so those suppliers meticulously sourcing and selling quality essential oils intentionally for therapeutic uses and aromatherapy are aware of important factors regarding its process of evolution.
  • Soil conditions
  • Seed quality
  • Climate
  • Altitude
  • Growing conditions
  • Harvesting
  • Care during distillation
  • Bottling
  • storage​



The time and effort involved in producing quality essential oils, harvesting the plants which depend largely on the parts of the plant that are used and their oil content, the cost of production, and extraction process are valued by their medicinal grades.

There are many commercial grades essential oils marked as “aromatherapy”, but they are either not made with quality essential oils or contain synthetic fragrances and other impurities. So, if you come across a company that uses the terms “aromatherapy grade” or “therapeutic grade”, ideally you’d research other key indicators of their essential oil properties to determine their particular intent behind the use of the terms. Most companies provide details on their website that define their specific usage of the term.

CLASSIFYING ESSENTIAL OILS

​

If you plan to use quality essential oils therapeutically, it is necessary to know and understand the difference between the various grades of essential oils.

Pure Grade Organic
  • Essential oils are from organic flowers, plants, and trees that are certified by the U.S standards and inspections. They are considered pure medical grade oils.
 
Pure Medical Grade/Therapeutic Grade
  • Essential oils are 100% pure and completely natural. This means that they do not contain any synthetic or unnatural adulterations. They are determined to be pure through quality control from the point of growth, processing, and laboratory analysis.

Aromatherapy Grade
  • Essential oils are adulterated with natural and unnatural components and additives.
 
Commercial Grade
  • Essential oils have been distilled again, creating a lower-grade oil, or have components added or removed to improve odor or safety.​
​
​Grade A
  • This is the therapeutic quality, that uses only organic plants and flowers, distilled at the correct temperatures so that they are pure in quality. These oils are great for consuming holistic health benefits, diffusing, inhaling, and more. This top grade is safe to mix with carrier oils, apply to your skin, and so on.
 
Grade B
  • This grade can contain synthetics, anywhere from carrier oils, pesticides, etc. These essential oils are considered food grade.
 

LEARN MORE



​
​Grade C
  • More perfume style oils that also contain synthetics, carrier oils, and other items. This grade is more for the fragrance aspect of it.  You will find this in body washes, shampoos, detergents, and more.


​

​When you use quality essential oils  in the form of an organic/therapeutic grade, you can benefit from their antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and even anti-microbial properties. Quality essential oils supply healing power, and in some homes, they are used as a natural medicine that has no side effects.

THE TOPIC(AL) SOLUTION

​

​An interesting aspect of aromatherapy is learning that there is enough room to comfortably explore possible applications for your home care use. Some universal methods in which essential oils are generated by the delivery of the skin, ingestion, inhalation, or in the form of suppositories. Even though essential oils can be assimilated by means of other routes, they are equally effective applied topically to the skin to promote well-being.

Using essential oils are different in ways that pills are warranted due to the physical nature of oils from the often water-soluble and powdery form of most drugs. Applying essential oils topically presents an advantage if the digestive system is compromised or an individual is unable to take oral dosing. Employ essential oils topically for resistant small children, those who find herbal treatment to be unpalatable  or have difficulty swallowing. In this way, as essential oils are applied topically, they are immediately absorbed into the bloodstream.

​ANCIENT AROMATIC MEDICINE
​

  • ROOT ESSENTIAL OILS | GROUNDED in WHOLE HEALTH
  • AROMATIC ALCHEMY | NATURAL & ESSENTIAL


Aromatic extracts from plants have been used topically for thousands of years and their use can be traced back to all major civilizations (Hoare, 2010).  Even the origins of aromatic medicine in Europe and the Western world can be traced back more than six thousand years to Egypt of the pharaohs (Hoare, 2010).  




​CONSCIOUS WELL-BEING  
​

Picture
​Topical applications can be used regularly to help with the physical pains and ailments that can be brought on or intensified by daily life. Experimental science was able to establish that essential oil components applied to the skin of a test person did show up in the bloodstream of that person, even after the nose was clipped shut with a nose pin and breathing air was funneled in from an oil-free space (Schnaubelt 2011).
​


A topical essential oil application can promote well-being in many ways.  For instance, peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils may reduce discomfort related to headaches, as stated by researchers in Germany- They’ve discovered that applying the essential oils with a sponge to the forehead and temples decreased the discomfort in half of the cases.




​
​TOPICAL APPLICATIONS w/ ESSENTIAL OILS
​

Picture

​*Creams & Lotions:
Essential oils can integrate into cleansers, toners, and moisturizers. Select a base that is non-perfumed and produced with pure, natural ingredients.  
 
*Hot Compress:
Alleviate muscular discomfort and arthritic conditions
 
*Cold Compress:
A great first aid treatment for sprains, swelling, and to relieve inflammation. Also if applied to the feet they can reduce fever.
 
*Massage:
The purpose is to rapidly absorb the oils through the integumentary system (skin). The circular and smoothing motion is an essential part of topical applications because it warms the skin by increasing the blood supply, stimulate lymph flow, speed up the elimination of toxic waste from the body, to act on the nerve supply, and correct pressure points.


​
​CARRIER OILS for TOPICAL USE

​

​ 
Just as the name implies, carrier oils transport or dilutes, the highly concentrated essential oil for the purposes of application on the body. Essential oils are rarely used undiluted. They blend well with other oils, but can also be diluted in alcohol, vinegar, witch hazel, cream, lotion, ointment, and may even be used with water. The liquid cream, lotion, ointment to which the essential oil is added is called the carrier or simple base.
Picture


​COMMON CARRIER OILS for TOPICAL USE
​

  • Sweet Almond Oil
  • Apricot Oil
  • Avocado Oil
  • Calendula Oil
  • Coconut Oil
  • Evening primrose Oil
  • Grapeseed Oil

  • Hazelnut Oil
  • Jojoba wax
  • Macadamia Oil
  • Peach Oil
  • Safflower Oil
  • Olive Oil
  • Sesame Oil


​
​APPLY with CAUTION & CARE~
​cream, lotion, compresses, & massage oils
​

Picture



​


​
​

Unless otherwise noted, for those who are fragile or for babies and children under age seven, start with a one percent dilution, which is 7-10 drops of essential oil per ounce (2 tablespoons/30ml) of carrier base may be used.
 
For other individuals, a two percent dilution of 14 to 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier base may be used. Until you are comfortable with the results of the oils, you should always start with less. You can always add additional.  If you notice that the mixture is too overpowering, just dilute with more carrier base.



​EXAMPLE RECIPE

1 drop Lemon

AT HOME CARE with TOPICAL ESSENTIAL OILS

​*Creams & Lotions:

Lotions, creams, and oils are moisturizing and soothing.


  • Add up to 10 drops of essential oils to each ounce (2tablsepoons/30ml) of light natural cream or lotion, such as apricot oil.  The “oil-infusion” is best when kept in a dark glass container.  If you have a clear glass container, keep it in a cool, dark space to extend its shelf life. Your oil should be reusable and effective for several months.  Yet, you may want to check periodically for any stale or rancid odor, cloudiness indicating microbial contamination-if this occurs, do not use.
 

Picture


~Compresses aids in the relief of pain, inflammation, lethargy, improves circulation, headaches, fluid, and lymphatic congestion. Using cloths made with natural materials only, while instilling just enough water to soak the compress.
​


LEARN MORE
​*Hot Compress:
  • Add a few drops of essential oil into a small bowl of hot water (very hot, not scorching), and wearing protective rubber gloves, dip into a folded cotton, cloth, or flannel.  Squeeze out any excess water and place the cloth carefully over the affected area. You may also wrap with plastic and a towel to hold in the heat.  Remove after 15min and gently perform a range of motion to its ability to relieve the discomfort, not over-extending the area.​

​*Cold Compress:
  • Follow the same instructions as the *hot compress but use 100ml (3-4fl oz) of cold water and six ice cubes. Do not let the cold compress dry out. You may also alternate between cold and hot compresses which can improve circulation in injuries, such as sprain ligaments and bruises.​
 ​

Picture


​*Massage:
  • Some studies show that the therapies thought to be most beneficial are those that include massage.  For your continued well-being at home, a massage therapy technique may be performed at your residence by a professional, or you may simply visit a local spa.​​

LEARN MORE


​
​GENERAL SAFETY



​*Certain basic rules should be observed when using essential oils topically for well-being at Home:

  • Keep essential oils out of reach of children
  • Never exceed the recommended dilution
  • Never apply essential oils directly to the skin
  • When working with small children, applying the blend to the feet, lower legs, and back reduces the risk of the oil getting into the mouth and eyes
  • It is important to purchase reputable brands and be alert to the sale of adulterated 
          oils.



THERAPEUTIC ABSORPTION 

​


 
The skin or integumentary system is the body’s largest organ, and its natural ability to absorb essential oils provides the individual with the ability to introduce their therapeutic qualities into the body.  Furthermore, the absorption of essential oils via the integumentary system rather than via the digestive system gives the advantage to enter the bloodstream directly. This is why applying essential oils topically are both healing and soothing while promoting well-being at home.

​BALANCE



Aromatherapy treatments alone is not enough to give us health, youth, and happiness. It should be supported by a healthy, balanced lifestyle that includes eating a healthy, balanced diet that is rich in seasonal foods, not over-indulging in food or alcoholic drinks, getting plenty of regular sleep, balancing the emotions, and trying to lead a stress-free existence in which you are not constantly rushing around (Maury, 2004).

Emotional Well-Being & Balance with Citrus Oils

​

​

Picture
 
Citrus essential oils can be effective physiologically, where they work on the actual physical condition, but also psychologically, where they work with the sense of smell and the effect that it has on the mind.  All of the commonly obtainable citrus fruit oils are used in the practice aromatherapy. Citrus scents are considered “invigorating” or “soothing” and can be utilized for symptoms of stress and depression.
​
​


There are various degrees of studies that demonstrate how essential oils can positively affect mood and the awareness of well-being, generating either uplifting or calming effects: grapefruit essential oil, for example, works to combat depression, and sweet orange is often referred to as the “smiley oil”.  I can honestly say today as a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner that the value and quality of life citrus essential oils have helped me to obtain and usher in to relieve stress and self-doubt is priceless.

​​When we think about grounding ourselves, some expressions might come to mind such as being humble, self-disciplined or have a foundation built on willed self-determination in life.  Whatever that may be, grounding is necessary for all of us to reflect on, because life has its course of changes and unexplained actions throughout. Therefore, everyone needs rebalancing to remain stable. 

What I discovered with  root essential oils, for instance like Ginger, is that roots are the most natural plant for grounding. Through personal and professional experiences with essential oils, my clients and I have found relief from mental, spiritual, and emotional challenges. This blog is about using the aromatic parts of the root plant for the purpose of grounding, stability, longevity, and balancing our whole health.

Historical practitioners knew what we know today, root essential oils carry powerful chemical components. Residing under the earth, roots are the most natural plant part for grounding energy and providing stability.  There are various layers to understanding the energetic levels of root oils.  

Symbolizing longevity, root essential oils keep our energy grounded and give our work stability. Based on these metaphysical principles, as well as the physiological benefits provided by root essential oils, spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional balance can be fulfilled to restore whole health. For example, emotional and mental rebalancing includes raising our spirits when we are feeling down.

The advanced awareness on how to use the root essential oils to further develop a spiritual connection to our Ancestors and Spiritual Guides are literally grounded in this resilient plant part. The spiritual use of a root essential oil can help us  uncover our spiritual essence or our spiritual practice.

​Emotional Benefits: 
Use root essential oils as a coping mechanism tool and to unblock underlying challenges. Sometimes poor coping skills may be what disallows us from remaining grounded in life. The emotional body is just as real as the physical body.  After all, we don’t have to be convinced that we have feelings. A root essential oil can help you get in touch with, embrace, or transmute your emotions. Balance is forever the goal to have in life, and it begins with by recognizing how we feel.

Physical Benefits:
Use root essential oils to sustain the physical, mundane existence of ourselves. This would include financial stability and career support. In this instance, root oils can enhance the physical body or the manner in which we exists.
