EOs - Not all are created equal

Lemongrass tea is wonderful and does have a lovely aroma.

The thing to ALWAYS keep in mind about EOs is that they are most effective when they are in pure form and not adulterated by other substances. Many people will say that EOs don't work because of this reason -- people will buy a popular brand under the assumption that they are getting the real stuff but they aren't, unfortunately. Also, people assume that 1 drop isn't potent enough; what isn't understood is that 1 drop is 100 times more potent in concentration than the raw herb.

The next time that you buy an EO, compare the smell next to another brand(s); allow your nose to tell you which is a better grade than the other. Aside from this, on the label there should be a date, the origin of the botanical, etc. Tweet
