Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

Why therapeutic grade essential oils
are vital to your family’s health and safety

Only 2% of the oils produced today are therapeutic grade. Most oils contain dangerous chemicals that are produced by chemical companies. They are not safe for aromatherapy.

The majority of oils (98%) produced today are for the perfume and cosmetic industries. These “perfume or fragrance oils” are produced in laboratories by large chemical companies for profit. They are often diluted with extenders and other dangerous chemicals.

Often these adulterated oils are labeled and sold to the public as “therapeutic grade essential oils” or “pure essential oils.” Unfortunately these oils have found their way on the internet, some health food stores, even "Bath and Body" shops.

These oils can pose serious health risks to you and your family. They can cause allergic reactions, rashes and even burns.
They contain no therapeutic value and can be toxic and dangerous.

Even essential oils that are labeled “organic” are frequently diluted. Sadly, due to this adulteration, many people have lost their belief in the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy and essential oils.

True therapeutic grade essential oils are immune stimulating and anti-infectious. They transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells of your body. Their molecules are small enough to quickly penetrate your skin, and within 21 minutes they affect every cell within your body. That is why it is imperative to use only therapeutic grade essential oils that are free of contaminants.

AFNOR/ISO CertificationThere is a reliable standard for essential oil quality. It is the AFNOR/ISO certification. This helps buyers to differentiate between true therapeutic grade essential oil and other inferior oils.

ISO is the “International Standards Organization” and AFNOR is the “Association French Normalization Organization Regulation.”

These standards outline the chemical profile and principal constituents that an essential oil must have to be certified as therapeutic grade.

From beginning to end, producing therapeutic grade essential oils is a process that requires the utmost care and attention. Great time and expense are required to make sure all the proper conditions are met.

The plant material needs to be free of herbicides, pesticides, and all agrichemicals. When distilling essential oils, the greatest care must be taken to preserve the vital nutrients. Low temperatures and low pressure are maintained throughout the entire process to safeguard the life force within the oil.

Because they require more time and expense to produce properly, essential oils cost more than the inferior oils. Keep in mind, due to their potency, only one or two drops is usually all that is needed to obtain desired results.
