The Facts... 

Essential oils have been around since the dawn of time.  The medicinal use of essential oils can be traced back thousands of years from all around the world.  And even today, in many European countries, “aromatic medicine” is considered an important part of most healing protocols and in fact, in some countries, “Aromatic Medicine” is a required course for all medical students. 

The therapeutic use of essential oils is a relatively new thought in the United States.  Our society has taught us to primarily place all of our trust in Western allopathic medicine, which, for the most part rejects many alternative ways of healing the body.  Instead, the main focus is placed on treating a symptom with a synthetically produced drug rather than searching for the root cause of the problem and then correcting it through nutrition. 

Because therapeutic use of essential oils is so new in the United States, there are many misconceptions about them and how to use them.  One of the biggest misconceptions is, if a label states that an essential oil is 100% pure, it is considered therapeutic-grade.  This is false! 

The United States has never recognized the medicinal use of essential oils so they have absolutely no standards requiring strict adherence to purity and grade of essential oils.  Anyone can legally state their oils are 100% pure despite the fact that the oils may in fact be partially, or even mostly synthetic.  Therefore, it is extremely important to know the source of the essential oils, including the purity of the soil in which the plants were grown and the distilling and handling processes.  All of which play a part in not only the purity of the oil, but the constituent value as well. 

Do not be misled when choosing your essential oils.  Choose only the highest quality essential oils from a reputable company with a proven record for guaranteeing the purity and constituent value of their oils.

This is why we only recommend Young Living Essential Oils - the World Leader in essential oils.
