What Are Therapeutic-Grade
Essential Oils?
Although
essential oils have been used for thousands of years, only now has science
developed the ability to research them on a cellular level. C. Norman Shealy,
M.D. Ph.D., wrote that "Quantum physicist have confirmed the reality
of the basic vibratory essence of life." He also noted that "life
energy is not static; it is kinetic." Experiments using a high-resolution
microscope that magnifies greater than 1,000 times and utilizes dark-field
technology have shown an incredible difference between Young Living Essential
Oils and other brands. Only Young Living's essential oils showed light, vibration,
and rapid motion as captured in live-motion videos. This pulsing movement
seems to indicate active coenzymes, minerals, oxygenating molecules, and more.
While science is still determining what to call this type of energy (life-force,
Brownian motion, kinetic energy or biological energy field), even more intriguing
ideas have been investigated. The research is ongoing.
One
of the many factors that determine the purity of essential oil is the chemical
constituents. These constituents can be affected by a vast number of variables,
including the part(s) of the plant from which the oil was produced, the soil
condition, fertilizer (organic or chemical), geographical region, climate,
altitude, harvesting methods, distillation process and many other important
factors. The key to producing a therapeutic-grade essential oil is to preserve
as many of the delicate aromatic compounds within the essential oils as possible.
Fragile aromatic chemicals are easily destroyed by high temperature and pressure
as well as contact with chemically reactive metals. This is why all therapeutic-grade
essential oil should be distilled in stainless steel cooking chambers at low
pressure and low temperature. The plant material should also be free of pesticides,
herbicides, and other agrichemicals. These can react with the essential oil
during distillation to produce toxic compounds.
We firmly believe that the chemistry
and kinetic energy of essential oils have the ability too help maintain
and improve the body's life force for optimal health. As we begin to understand
the power of essential oils in the realm of holistic healthcare, we will
appreciate the necessity for obtaining the purest oil possible. No matter
how costly pure essential oils may seem, there can be no substitutes.
Adulterated and mislabeled essential
oils present a danger for consumers. One woman, who had heard of the ability
of lavender oil to heal burns use lavender oil from a local health food
store when she spilled boiling water on her arm. But the pain intensified
and the burn worsened, so she later complained that lavender oil was worthless
for healing burns. When her "lavender" oil was analyzed, it was
found to be lavandin, a hybrid lavender that is chemically very different
from pure lavandula angustifolia. Lavendin contains high levels of camphor
and can burn the skin. In contrast true lavender contains virtually no camphor
and has burn-healing agents not found in lavandin.
Currently
the United States has no agency to guarantee the purity of essential oils.
There are huge chemical companies on the east coast of the U.S. that specialize
in the duplication of every essential oil that exists. For every kilogram
of pure essential oil that is produced, it is estimated there are between
10 and 100 kilograms of synthetic oil created. Young Living has adopted the
European standard, widely regarded as the "gold standards" for testing
essential oils. Young Living is continually expanding its analytical chemical
library in order to perform more thorough chemical analysis. Properly analyzing
an essential oil by gas chromatography is a complex undertaking. The analyst
examines the entire fingerprint of the oil to determine its purity and potency,
measuring how various compounds in the oil occur in relation to each other.
Young Living analyzes each batch of its essential oils at an AFNOR certified
laboratory.
Adulteration of essential oils will become more and more common as the supply
of top quality essential oils dwindles and demand explodes. Anyone seeking
the true benefits of aromatherapy and essential oils must use the purest oils
available. Inferior quality or adulterated oils most likely will not produce
therapeutic results and could possibly be toxic.
