I have to be honest and admit that synthetic and adulterated oils will ‘work’ to a certain extent (in the latter there could be a high percentage of the natural oil present). It is the quality which is different. Optimum quality is paramount not only in order to get the best results, but also to avoid the risk of possible harmful side effects. A bonus is that less essential oil is then needed in order to be effective, a fact often forgotten by people who buy oils on the false economy of price. Organic oils are best of all (see below).

Despite the fact that we obtain most oils direct from the farming community, tests are carried out to determine the levels of the constituent components, as these are not the same each year. Because of this, an oil may not have exactly the same aroma each time you buy it.
