Quality of essential oils

What we must know before we decide to ask for any massage treatment. Whenever and wherever. Yes… exactly any kind of massage. Essential oils are extracted directly from the bark, flower, fruit, leaf, seed or root of a plant or tree. Essential oils are compoused of very small molecules that penetrate our cells after 20 minutes.

Fatty oils come from large molecules they CAN NOT penetrate our cells they stay in our skin and may even clog our pores, so they are not therapeutic. Essential oils are highly concentrated unfortunatelly NOT all essential oils are equally. Most of them are worthless to our health and potentially toxic that is why it is crucial to understand the difference between certified organic oils and non-organic oils.

ORGANIC essentiial oils are grown without chemical insecticides,pesticides herbicides and chemical fertilizers. NON-ORGANIC essential oils are grown WITH chemical insecticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. When choose oils for massage always choose therapeutic grade and organic oils it must be written on the label clearly: BIO or ORGANIC or wild craffted.

 

There are 4 grades of essential oils:

  • 1) certified organic oils (certified therapeutic grade essential oils):
    • the highest grade of essential oils with greatest healing properties.
  • 2) synthetic and altered oilseated in laboratory and lowest grade of oil
  • 3) natural and ‘pure’ oils:
    • overly processed so they lose healing compounds;
    • most commonly sold type of essential oils.
  • 4) wellness grade essential oils:
    • steam distilled with healing compounds;
    • the negative is that they may or not may have been sprayed with pesticides.
