will have to wait until I get back from a long-overdue vacation. If I
have missed sending the newsletter to anybody who has ALREADY
requested it, please request again.
I"d like to honor other request as well, but as Suzy says, adding
names to my mailing list right now is too tedious to fit my time
frame. And so, here is the portion in the Sept edition about doTERRA
quality.
doTERRA's Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils are 100%
pure natural aromatic compounds carefully extracted from plants. They
contain no fillers or artificial ingredients that would dilute their
active qualities. Proper extraction and thorough, precise testing also
ensure that doTERRA's CPTG essential oils are free of contaminants
such as pesticides or other chemical residues.
doTERRA oils are sourced from all over the world, including right here
at home. Our peppermint comes from Washington State, but why go all
the way to Italy for lemon oil when there is more than anybody would
ever want in Florida? Why France when lavender grows perfectly well in
most of the U.S.?
Here's the answer to those questions and two more necessary
requirements for CPTG quality oils.
Geographical source - Plants grown in their indigenous area are
measurably higher quality. Ex: lavender grown in high altitude France
contains at least one constituent that never even develops in the same
type of lavender grown at lower altitudes.
Specific plant variety - For example, Oreganum vulgare rather than
other types of oregano. Identification of specific plant variety,
added ingredients, or even whether or not the oils are completely or
partially
synthetic is not required in labeling. Interestingly, a high
percentage of
"lavender" essential oil sold on the regular retail market is not
lavender at all. Rather, it is quite often lavendin. High quality
lavendin does offer therapeutic benefits but is distinctly different
from true lavenders
including intensifying the damage from burns.
Expertise and methods of distillation - maturational stage of plants;
time of day harvested; amount of time elapsed between harvesting and
distillation; low pressure, steam distillation (rather than chemical
extraction) done at low temperature for the optimum time
relative to each type of plant. Fast, hot distillation can burn off
delicate constituents. Distilling too long can also degrade the oil.
On the other hand, some elements cannot release from the plant if
distillation is stopped too soon.
So you see, getting CPTG essential oil in those little bottles takes a
bit of doing! And it's worth it!
Whew! And I thought making a souffle was difficult!
