Aromatherapy & Essential Oils
ESSENTIAL OILS are the subtle, volatile liquids distilled from plants,
shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds.

The translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts reveal:
For thousands of years, priests and physicians were using Essential Oils to heal the
sick.
There are 188 references to oils in the Bible. Some precious oils, such as
frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, rosemary, hyssop, cassia, cinnamon and spikenard
were used for anointing and for protection against the ravages of disease.
The ancient process of distillation is a delicate and precise art which has been almost
forgotten.
Science is just now rediscovering the healing substances that were used in
ancient times and is beginning to acknowledge their value. Therapeutic Essential
Oils are helping to bring history to life and to restore this ancient knowledge to our
modern world.
"Lavendula officinalis requires 175-250 pound to
produce one pound of pure lavender oil."
PROCESSING:
Processing with low pressure and low temperature are the keys to maintaining the
ultimate fragrance and therapeutic value.
High pressure, high temperatures, rapid processing and the use of solvents and
chemicals will fracture the oil molecule, destroying the therapeutic value and altering
the fragrance. Any chemical combined with an Essential Oil destroys the effectiveness
>
of the oil's purpose and function.
Therapeutic Essential Oils are sold "neat" - no carrier oil is used. Experience pure,
organically grown, essential oils!
WARNING:
Only Grade A oils carry frequency and have the full health benefits. Most essential
oils sold today are cut with carrier oils (can go rancid), alcohol and even chemicals and
synthetics.
"Melissa requires three
tons of plants to produce
one pound of oil, which
sells for $9,000 to
$15,000."
"Peppermint requires
35-40 pounds of plants
to produce one pound of
oil."
COST:
Producing the purest of oils is very costly and may
require several hundred or thousands of pounds of
plants to extract one pound of oil.
"5,000 pound of rose petals are required to produce
one pound of rose oil."
