The Advantages of Choosing Organic Essential Oils
Did you know that more and more people are discovering essential oils and aromatherapy to help promote their mental, emotional, and physical well-being? If you're new to aromatherapy, and we've piqued your interest, let us offer a brief introduction to essential oils and organic essential oils.
These oils are concentrated aromatic plant extracts carefully obtained through steam distillation, mechanical cold pressing or resin tapping. The oils capture the plant's scent, flavour, or "essence." Each unique aromatic compound imparts essential oil with its characteristic essence and therapeutic properties. Hundreds of different aromatherapy oils exist, most of which are not certified organic, so it's difficult to assess their purity, quality, and safety. Many others aren't third-party tested, so it’s impossible to ascertain the presence of potential contaminants. This is why organic is the only way to go to derive the most benefits from your essential oils.
Organic farming is a method of crop and livestock production that involves much more than choosing not to use pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), antibiotics and growth hormones. Just as importantly, organic farming is designed to optimize the productivity and fitness of diverse communities, including soil organisms, plants, livestock and people. Ultimately, the primary goal of organic farming is long-term sustainability. An organic certification is your gauge of purity, therapeutic efficacy, and overall value when it comes to essential oils.

Maximizing Benefits: How to Use Aromatherapy Oils Effectively
Organic essential oils can be used in a variety of ways, such as applied to the skin, inhaled, or ingested. The application method chosen depends on the desired effect and the essential oil selected. For example, some essential oils are irritating to the skin because of their chemistry. These would need more dilution in a carrier oil such as coconut or sweet almond oil or might be better suited for use in a steam diffuser. Some general guidelines when using essential oils:
- Topical applications are ideal for skin care and wound care
- Mood enhancement can be achieved with either inhalation or topical application. For fast action, inhalation might be preferred.
- Adding essential oils to your bath provides both inhalation and topical absorption and can help ease sore muscles and other aches and pains. Baths are also a great way to promote mood balance and relaxation.
