Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils (YLTG)
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.
One of the factors that
determine the purity of an
essential oil is its chemical
constituents.
Essential oils are
highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs.
