An Introduction to Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils - Read more here: http://wellnessappliances.com/therape...
A therapeutic-grade essential oil is one that is both complete in its chemical constituents and retains the innate coherent vibrational frequency of the original plant materials. This is important, because the oil's fragrance, frequency and chemistry all contribute to its unique therapeutic effects. If any of these properties is compromised, as a result of poor production practices, an essential oil will have little to no therapeutic value.

How do you know if an Essential Oil is Therapeutic Grade?

There’s no short answer to that question. However, there are several indicators that point toward a high-quality product. If you’ve already purchased some oils, begin by getting to know them. Quality oils have several distinguishing features and with time and experience, you’ll become familiar with their subtleties. Do this:

Open a bottle of oil and inhale the scent…

Smell the fragrance – is it subtle, rich, organic, delicate? Do you detect any ‘chemical’ odor? Pure oil fragrances will vary somewhat from batch to batch, indicating they were produced in small quantity batches. If your oils smell exactly the same every time, this may indicate they were industrially processed on a large scale, or adulterated for consistency.

I once purchased a bottle of lavender oil that smelled similar to ‘feet’ when I opened the bottle! Gas Chromatography testing and other analyses proved it was indeed therapeutic grade lavender oil (lavandula angustifolia) and so would provide the medicinal results I sought. However, I must confess to having returned the oil and requesting a replacement from a different batch – something about wanting my lavender to smell a bit more like flowers and less like feet.

Now, place a few drops of oil into the palm of your hand…

How does the oil feel to the touch? Does it feel ‘oily’?
Pure essential oils are not the ‘vegetable’ oil of the plant as in olive or grapeseed oil. If it leaves an ‘oily’ film to the touch, this will be from an additive. Does it irritate the skin or cause a rash? Again, consider the possibility of adulteration. (This is not conclusive however. There are additional qualifiers to consider)

Does the oil have an effect?
Is there a body/mind/emotional response to the oil in any way - and if so how? For example, my body responds to frankincense noticeably and immediately with a feeling akin to (but not quite) a slight head rush. Is there any noticeable change in the condition for which you are applying the essential oil therapeutically? (which may or may not be immediate depending on the condition) Pure essential oils are powerful! Much experiential conclusion and scientific research has gone into the purported therapeutic qualities of the various oils. If your oil has no effect whatsoever, you probably have a chemically inert oil with a low to nil frequency factor. Or worse, you may have an unwanted and unpleasant reaction like a rash, headache etc.
