What are essential oils?
Essential Oils are the naturally occurring volatile oils obtained by steam distillation or cold pressing (expression), having the characteristic aroma of the plant part from which it was derived. These 100% pure oils are "neat", meaning they have not been processed, diluted or manipulated in any way with solvents or other additives. Although a particular species of plant harvested and distilled for its essential oil during a particular growing season in a specific region may produce a fragrance that differs from the same species grown in a different region, many of the main chemical markers and physical specifications may be very similar.

Do essential oils have a grading system to tell me which is better?
There is no official grading system that grades essential oils as A, B, C or Therapeutic grade. All of LifeSource pure essential oils are accurately labeled as such and are the highest purity and quality available.

History

Essential oils are volatile oils taken from plants using extraction or distillation. These oils are usually used in perfumes and medications.

Although essential oils were used in ancient history, French chemist, René-Maurice Gattefossé coined the term "aromatherapy" in 1928. He published his book, "L'Aromatherapie", in 1937 and made "aromatherapy" a common word. Gattefossé also was very supportive of the lavender farmers and helped them to succeed.

Gattefossé demonstrated how effective lavender oil was on the skin when he severely burned his hand and doused it with pure lavender oil, immediately stopping the tissue gasification. He said his hand not only healed quickly, it healed without scarring.

Applying Lavender Oil

Apply lavender directly from the bottle to the skin. Unlike other essential oils, lavender doesn't have to be diluted. But if you want to dilute it, combine 2.5 to 10 percent of lavender essential oil to a carrier oil like olive, jojoba or almond oils.

Skin Benefits

Pour lavender oil onto cotton and apply to burns for healing without scarring. Add a few drops of lavender oil to a bowl of cool water. Make a compress and apply it to your sunburn for healing.

Dab lavender oil onto acne blemishes or skin infections with a cotton swab, as a natural antibiotic. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, science has shown lavender oils have antibiotic properties.

Beautify, moisturize and tone your skin by misting it with a combination of purified water and a few drops of lavender oil in a bottle. Shake it well before each use.

Experiment with using lavender oil directly on stretch marks three times each day. This simple home remedy claims to fade stretch marks.

Lavender oil is extracted mostly from the flowers of the lavender plant, primarily through steam distillation. The flowers of lavender are fragrant in nature and have been used for making potpourri for centuries. Traditionally, the lavender essential oil has also been used in making perfumes. The oil is very useful in aromatherapy and many aromatic preparations and combinations are made using lavender oil.

Lavender oil blends well with many other essential oils including cedarwood, pine clary sage, geranium, and nutmeg. Today, lavender essential oil is frequently used in various forms including aromatherapy oil, gels, infusion, lotion, and soaps.
