How to Be Sure Your Essential Oils Are Therapeutic Grade How can you be sure that your essential oils are therapeutic grade? Start by asking the following questions from your essential oil supplier: © Are the fragrances delicate, rich, and organic? Do the) cobatch as an indication that they are painstakingly distilled in small batches rather than industrially “feel” natural? Do the aromas vary from batch processed on a large scale? + Does your supplier subject each batch of essential oils through multiple chemical analyses to est for purity and therapeutic quality? Are these tests performed by independent labs? © Does your supplier grow and distill organically grown herbs? ‘© Are the distillation facilities part of the farm where the herbs are grown (so oils are freshly distilled), or do herbs wait days to be processed and lose potency? ‘© Does your supplier use low pressure and low tem- perature to distill essential oils so as to preserve all of their fragile chemical constituents? Are the dis- tillation cookers fabricated from costly, food-grade stainless steel alloys to reduce the likelihood of the oils chemically reacting with metal? ‘* Does your supplier personally inspect the fields and distilleries where the herbs are grown and distilled? Do they verify that no synthetic or harmful solvents or chemicals are being used? Chapter 7 Single Oils ‘+ How many years has your supplier been doing all of this? How to Maximize the Shelf Life of Your Essential Oils The highest quality essential oils are bottled in dark glass. The reason for this is wwo-fold, First, glass is more stable than plastic and does not “breathe” the same way plastic does. Second, the darkness of the glass protects the oil from light that may chemically alter or degrade After using an essential oil, keep the lid tightly sealed. Bottles that are improperly sealed can result in the loss of some of the lighter, lower-molecular-weight parts of the oil. In addition, over time oxygen in the air reacts with and oxidizes the oil Essential oils should be stored away from light, especially sunlight—even if they are already stored in amber glass bottles. ‘The darker the storage conditions, the longer your oil will maintain its orginal chemistry and quality. Store essential cils in a cool location. Excessive heat can derange the molecular structure of the oil the same way ultraviolet light can, Diluting Essenti Most essential oils require dilution with a vegetable oil when being used either internally or externally “The amount of dilution depends on the essential cil For example, oregano will require four times as much dilution as that of Roman chamomile. Vegetable oils such the V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex are specifically formulated to dilute a long shelf life (over two years) without going rancid.
