When purchasing essential
oils for aromatherapeutic purposes, make sure you are buying PURE ESSENTIAL OILS and not Perfume or Fragrance oils. Only Pure Essential Oils have therapeutic
qualities as they are made from the plants themselves, contain no synthetics,
and are not adulterated with other oils.
In the following chart, you
will notice that each Essential Oil is listed with two names. The first is its common name, the second, in
italics, is its Latin binomial. When
purchasing the oils through a retailer or wholesaler, be sure to check the Latin binomial, or the Latin designation
of the genus and species of plant used. There are many oils being sold under
the same name, but being of different species and having different
physiological effects. For instance,
Cypress essential oil is distilled from the Cupressus sempervirens
tree. However, many companies sell the
essential oil of Juniperus virgiana as “Cypress” although it is from a
different species (Juniperus is not even a Cypress tree) and has completely
different therapeutic properties. To
avoid confusion and possible negative results, it’s important to buy only those oils that bear the Latin
binomial as indicated below on the label.

Chemical Constituents of
Essential Oils and their Therapeutic Properties.
Note: The therapeutic qualities of an oil are
determined by the proportion of its chemical constituents to one another, and
to the interactions of the chemical constituents. If an essential oil is composed mainly of terpenes, for instance,
its primary characteristics will be those attributable to terpenes, while its
secondary and tertiary characteristics will be attributable to the remainder of
those chemicals comprising the oil.
