What’s the difference between

Therapeutic Essential Oils and Aromatherapy Essential Oils?

Therapeutic Essential Oils are determined by the purity of the oil and its chemical constituents.
These constituents can be affected by a vast number of variables, they include, parts of the plant, soil conditions, fertilizers (organic), region of growth, climate, altitude, harvesting methods and how they are distilled.  Healing aromatic oils can easily be destroyed by high temperature and pressure, as well as chemical reactive metals such as copper.

Aromatherapy Essential Oils are successfully recreated.  Chemists change  the main constituents and fragrances of some essential oils in the laboratory.  So these synthetic oils lack the therapeutic benefits and may carry risks. Inferior quality or adulterated oils most likely will not produce therapeutic results and could possibly be toxic. The most adultrated oils are:  Lavender, Frankinscense, Peppermint.

So you need to decide for yourself if you want the Therapeutic Essential Oils that God made or the Aromatherapy Essential Oils that are Man made. Whatever your needs (therapeutic or smell good oils) make an educated decision about which oil will meet your needs or your loved one’s needs.  Just be aware that there is a great difference.

AFNOR (Association French Normalization Organization Regulation) &  ISO (International Standards Organization) standards, are guidelines to help us determine if we are using therapeutic grade or aromatherapy essential oils.
