Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils (YLTG)
The key to producing a
therapeutic-grade
essential oils is to preserve as many of the
delicate aromatic compounds within the
essential oils as possible.
Essential oils are
aromatic volatile liquids distilled from bushes, flowers, roots,
seeds, shrubs and trees.
The Chemistry of
essential oils is very complex; each one may consist of hundreds of
different and unique chemical compounds.
Unlike synthetic
chemicals,
essential oils are diverse in their effects, no two oils
are alike.

determine the purity of an
essential oil is its chemical
constituents.
Essential oils are
highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs.
