Importance of using Quality Essential Oils



The quality and purity of essential oils is very important. Unless the oil is of top quality and extracted by an approved method, it is of no use theraputically. The aroma may still be exact but the properties of the oil may be diluted. One of the dangers with essential oils is that they can be easily adulterated with cheaper oils or other liquids to make them go further. For example Sandalwood cna be diluted with castor without any obvious detection. Oils can be made synthetically in a laboratory and produce the same aroma as pure oils. These will tend to be cheaper but they will not be as effective as some of the trace elements in essential oils can not be artificially duplicated.

Always purchase your oils from a reputable and reliable source - check that the oil is the correct one and the latin name is evident.
