Choosing quality essential oils: an imperative!

The first essential thing is the quality essential oil especially if you wish to ingest it.
Beware of cheap oils. Imagine that the plants have been sprayed with pesticides and then distilled: we recover the very concentrated essential oil, but also very concentrated pesticides!

An essential oil is by definition 100% pure and natural… it’s written on all the packaging and yet they are not all equal, far from it! According to the Aromatic Plant Research Center, 80% of essential oils on the world market are adulterated in one way or another (solvents, dilution, substitution of one plant by another, synthetic molecules, etc.).

So concretely, how do you find a quality essential oil?

Either you know the producer and you have great confidence in his way of working: the plants are local, grown without chemicals, harvested and distilled according to the rules of the art.

Either you will have to rely on a label. Here is the label recommended by Mariette which can guarantee you the total absence of pesticides, solvents and synthetic molecules in your bottle, it is the CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade ® label. This is why she chose to work only with essential oils of doTERRA
