With the soaring popularity of aromatherapy there is a growing demand for essential oil. This is because these types of oils are thought to have some great properties in the treatment of various ailments of the human body and soul. Recently we have also seen a shift towards organic essential oil. In this article I will be providing some more information on this subject to help you learn more on organic essential oil.
When we say organic essential oil we are speaking of oil that has been produced without the addition of any chemical products in the manufacturing process. Whether it is in the form of pesticide or fertilizers all the treatments used on the plants should be of organic origin. This will ensure that you will be having an essential oil that is as close as possible to the one used by the ancient aromatherapist.
So as to be sure that you are purchasing a pure organic essential oil it is essential that you select a brand that is registered by a recognized body. This will act as a proof that the essential oil meets all the requirements. Organic essential oil is also available in several forms and does not have the same measure of purity. Some are at 95% organic while some others might be much less. In order to avoid any painful surprise it is essential that you acquaint yourself with the certification body rules and regulations.

Yes. It is safe to use. Most oils say that they are for aromatherapy purposes because the FDA and AMA will not allow the natural oil companies to make actual medical claims on their products.
correct! I'm a qualified occupational therapist and have an interview in Cardiff soon! Much love rtr
This really helped me. Thank you!
name the places that you heard that 90 percent of essential oils are adulterated. I have been repackaging and reselling essential oils that I buy wholesale in large quantities.I have read hundreds of aromatherapy articles and read dozens of aromatherapy books and never once saw mention a warning that almost all oils are not as advertised. Granted some companies cheat but 90 percent????. I use a blot test on my oils to see if it is pure oil. If when it dries it leaves a ring on a blotter then it is not pure but this test cannot show if a less expensive (but still pure) oil is substituted for a more expensive oil. From hundreds of clients I get a a few complaints that it doesn't work but that is no different than drugs that do not always work for everyone.
