Anyone thinking of buying and using essential oils for certain therapeutic use-like on or in your body, you need to think about the quality of the oil. You want the purest distillation that you can get with no additives. Some additives are chemical reproductions or constituents from other plants that have nothing to do with the oil you bought. Some are blended with a small amount of base oil. Some essential oils are solvent extracted, and some of the solvent remains in the oil, along with any pesticides sprayed on the plants. Yuk!!
Another thing to think about is the dosage and safety for each essential oil. So important. There are laws requiring distilleries and suppliers to label correctly any warnings, but it is rarely done and very dangerous to ignore. Each chemical constituent has a effect on the body and if you don't know the safety measures, you could be harming or even killing someone, unknowingly. Example-Sports creams that contain certain analgesics can accumulate in your body. This is particularly dangerous to anyone who has kidney disease and really even to a healthy person.
Essential oils are very healing and safe if used by a knowledgeable-trained person. Do your homework if you plan to self-administer. Holistic medicine has been around for thousands of years. It truly is a positive element to add to your health, along with diet exercise, free time, good sleep, etc.
The incidence of fatalities and sickness using essential oils is nothing compared with the drug industry. The drug industry deals with an illness, which is the end result of poor health maintenance. Holistic medicine tries to prevent illness by practicing everyday health measures.
