Essential Oils are aromatic volatile liquids distilled from shrubs, trees, flowers, roots, bushes and seeds. The chemistry of Essential Oils is very complex. Each essential oil may contain hundreds of different and unique chemical compounds. The distillation process make essential oils highly concentrated. This tedious process often requires an entire plant or more to produce a single drop of distilled essential oil. Today, approximately 300 essential oils are distilled or extracted, with several thousand chemical constituents and aromatic molecules identified and registered. Only about 2% of all essential oils are produced for therapeutic and medicinal applications and are designated as true "grade (a)" oils. Therapeutic grade (a) essential oils may be massaged into the body, taken internally or inhaled by use of an essential oil diffuser. These oils are extremely concentrated, leave no messy residue and usually require as little as one drop to be very effective. Essential oils are cited over (500) times in the Bible. I (Kate) teach an extensive class on the "Healing Oils of The Bible." Contact us for information.
Young Living Essential Oils are grade (a), therapeutic oils. Therapeutic grade (a) essential oils such as Young Living Essential Oils have no traces of pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals. True therapeutic grade (a) oils must contain no synthetic ingredients, nor can they be diluted. The essential oil must be exactly as it was harvested and (steam distilled) without any further tampering. Delicate aromatic compounds are carefully preserved. Essential Oils with the designation EC AFNOR are the highest quality oils available and meet stringent standards set forth in Europe. The vast majority of oils bought in health food stores etc. ARE NOT grade (a) therapeutic oils. Also ... therapeutic grade (a) essential oils are far more potent than dried herbs. Young Living Essential Oils are the very best oils available ... compare for yourself!
Aromatic Essential Oils may certainly be used as a body fragrance, a sensual massage oil, within an essential oil diffuser or internally. Some of my husbands favorite Aromatic Essential Oils include Lavendar, Sandalwood and blends such as Joy and Peace & Calming. Rusty, a competitive powerlifter, swears by PanAway for taking away muscle soreness instantly! He also thoroughly enjoys his oil diffuser in our bedroom and in his truck. One small drop of clove oil is the absolute strongest antioxidant that a person can take. There is no equal according to the ORAC Scale.
