I can buy solvent distilled and synthetic oils for much cheaper, so why should I spend extra for therapeutic grade oils?
Synthetic oils, or “perfume quality” oils only replicate one portion of the plant’s essence, the scent itself. This is often “perfume quality” oil. They do not replicate the hundreds of other trace compounds that are created in the plant by soil conditions, moisture, pH levels, and other factors unique to each growing plot that lend important therapeutic properties to the oils. Many essential oils contain molecules and isomers that are impossible to manufacture in a laboratory. Anyone venturing into the world of essential oil therapies should use the purest quality oils available in order to get the maximum benefit.
