Aromatherapy uses a blend of plant oils to create scents which alter the mind and body. The oils come from plants such as herbs, flowers, and other common plants. They can be used in a variety of different ways. Sometimes these plants are put in shampoos, lotions, astringents, candles, and air fresheners . These are just a few of the many interesting ways plants can be used to help create a mood. Some plants not only work towards altering an illness the body has but they can also put a person in a particular mood such as relaxed, invigorated, calm, etc.
For centuries essential oils have been considered the most theraputic and rejuvenating of all botanical extracts. They are highly concentrated, regenerating, oxygenating and contain hormones, vitamins, and antiseptics that work on many levels. It has become very mainstream now to put plants with beneficial properties into products because of the stress many people in society face. One of the most popular new types of scents in aromatherapy are items that have green tea in them. For example, Elizabeth Arden's popular perfume line, Green Tea, can be purchased at major department stores and offers not only the perfume but tantalizing "body slush", lotion, and body shower gel. This scents is spicy but also light and refreshing. What smells good is very individual and I encourage everyone interested in aromatherapy to test out different scents and see which one is right individually.
Aromatherapy works in two ways: through the sense of smell or inhalation and through the skin during massage or bathing. Essential oils are very concentrated and should be used with care and respect.Always dilute for use on the skin. The exception to this rule is with Lavender and Tea Tree which may be applied neat (undiluted) one drop to the area. Remember Less IS More. When using essential oils, use the smallest amount of essential oils that will get the job done. If one drop will get the job done, for example, don't use two drops. For theraputic results purchase only high quality oils.
Keep out of reach of children and away from pets.Do not ingest by mouth.
Essential oils should not be taken internally. Essential oils are flammable.
Please keep them out of the way of fire hazards.
Some oils can cause sensitization or allergic reactions in some individuals. When using a new oil for the first time, do a skin patch on a small area of skin. Place a small amount of the diluted essential oil on the inside of your elbow and apply a bandage. Wait 24 hours to see if there is a reaction. Discontinue use if there is any form of reaction.
Proceed carefully and with guidance if the following conditions exist :
Pregnancy,you may want to avoid all essential oils during your pregnancy.Generally speaking, all EOs that contain a reasonable amount of ketones need to be used with care during Pregnancy. So you might want to check the chemical composition (major components) in each of the EOs in which you are most interested. We recommend a good aromatherapy book for specific information.
High blood pressure, epilepsy, open wounds, diabetes, rashes, neurological disorders, doctor prescribed medications or homeopathic remedies.
Do not apply undiluted to the skin, dilute in a pure vegetable carrier oil...
(Earth Tribe oils are already diluted in a 3% solution of macademia nut oil.)
Special care with photosensitive oils: The following oils can cause severe sun sensitivity:
Bergamot and Rue, very strong, Cumin, Lime, Mandarine, Lemon, Tangerine, Orange, Verbena (moderate),
Angelica, Caraway, Cassia, Cinnamon Bark,Grapefruit, Honeysuckle absolute, Laurel Leaf Abs., Patchouli (mild),
Virginia Cedarwood, Dill weed, and Petitgrain (very mild.)
For treatments of health ailments, please seek diagnosis and recommendations from a licensed medical practitioner.
These safety guidelines are not a complete safety reference for the proper use of essential oils. When in doubt, consult your physician and/or a qualified and trained aromatherapy practitioner
Even William Shakespeare knew the virtues of aromatherapy. You may have heard of aromatherapy; chances are, you're quite familiar with it already. Aromatherapy can uplift depressed minds, relax and calm stressed bodies, relieve pain, aid memory, relieve cold symptoms, calm fussy children, deter fleas from pets, and generally contribute to the well-being of the human body.
Plants, including flowers, tree woods, bushes and roots, get their aromas from the essential oils they naturally contain. These oils are extracted from the plants in various ways. The oils, which are highly concentrated, may either be directly inhaled or applied (diluted) directly to the body. Essential oils literally have hundreds of uses, from the sincerely practical to the delightfully frivolous. The bottom line is this: most people agree that "good smells" are pleasant and uplifting. That reason alone, the positive effect on mood and emotion, is good enough to delve into some aromatherapy.
Used properly, most essential oils are generally safe and nontoxic to humans and pets. One general rule of thumb is this: never ingest, or apply directly to your skin, a pure undiluted essential oil. They are far too strong and concentrated. A single drop of pure, undiluted oregano essential oil spilled onto the skin can leave a scar. Essential oils are best treated with care. Always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil, lotion, misting solution, or whatever you desire. Please see "Cautionary Words and WARNINGS" for important information.


How do they get the oils out of the plants? In some cases, it is a simple process. Citrus essential oils, such as bergamot, clementine, tangerine, sweet orange, lemon, litsea cubeba, grapefruit, lime, and mandarin, are usually cold-pressed from the peels. Bergamot and clementine tend to be more expensive than the other citrus oils, however, because the fruits are grown in limited geographical regions and because it takes so many of these tiny fruits to derive a viable quantity of essential oil.
Most other essential oils are steam distilled, a process which not only separates the essential oil from the plant, but creates a fragrant water by-product, called a hydrolat. Some people call these hydorsols, but actual hydrosols are really just essential oils added to distilled water.
In some cases, where the essential oils don't separate easily from the plant, or where steam distillation destroys the essential oil, another process, solvent extraction, is used. The plant is treated with a solvent which attracts the essential oil molecules. The solvent is then "washed away" by a vacuum process. The resultant "essential oil" is called a "concrete" or "absolute." Jasmine is most often solvent-extracted, as the delicate essential oil is highly volatile.
We sell steam-distilled or cold-pressed essential oils. We only sell solvent-extracted essential oils if that is the only means by which the essential may be extracted, such as jasmine. Any solvent-extracted essential oils are clearly noted.


Some plants simply don't give up their fragrances. The essential oils of such plants are so delicate and volatile that any process which separates them from the plant destroys them. Such plants include lily of the valley, lotus blossom, and magnolia. Be skeptical of any vendor claiming to sell pure essential oils of these flowers. Some excellent quality synthetics are available but keep in mind, they are indeed replicas of the real thing. Carnation and violet concretes are available, but be skeptical if the price is lower than the current market price for gold.
Citrus fruits are the only fruits that give up an essential oil (and an abundant supply at that.) No other fruit fragrances have ever been successfully separated from the fruit itself. Again, there are some truly impressive synthetics available; our Peach is like a fragrant orchard on a warm midsummer day, and our Pear really smells like fresh, ripe, juicy Bartletts!
Remember, it is important to use only pure essential oils for aromatherapy. Our fragrance oils, though of the highest quality, are not purely essences of their named fragrances but are often created from a blend of pure essential oils, natural food flavorings (for many of the fruit essences, plus cinnamon, coffee and chocolate aromas) and synthetic aromas. Fragrance oils are ideal for creating personal perfume blends and for scenting bath and body care products as well as candles, sachets and potpourri, but they are not a substitute for pure essential oils in aromatherapy.


Here's a brief guide to essential oils (EO's) and their aromatherapy uses. See our "Pure Essential Oils" for great selection and prices!

EOs reputed to aid memory and recall: Cedarwood, Marjoram, Peppermint, Rosemary

EOs reputed to aid relaxation: Chamomile, Clary Sage, Juniper Berry, Lavander, Lemon, Mandarin, Marjoram, Neroli, Rose, Rose Geranium, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang.

EOs reputed to aid alertness: Black Pepper, Juniper Berry, Lemon, Peppermint, Pine, Rosemary, Rose Geranium, Ylang Ylang.

...OK, you may be wondering, how can an essential oil (such as ylang ylang) help relax you AND keep you alert? Ylang Ylang and Juniper Berry are among the EOs that have a general balancing effect on the body and mind...

EOs reputed to aid depression: Chamomile, Clary Sage, Eucalyptus, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Petitgrain, Rosemary, Sandalwood.

EOs reputed to aid congestion: Eucalyptus, Lavender, Lemon, Patchouli, Peppermint, Pine, Rosemary.

EOs reputed to have pain-relieving properties: Cajeput, Chamomile, Ginger, Helichrysum, Lavender, Marjoram, Rosemary, Rose.

EOs reputed to have skin-rejuvenation effects on mature skin: Carrot Seed, Frankincense, Lavender, Jasmine, Myrrh, Neroli, Palmarosa, Patchouli, Rose.


Some delightfully spicy essential oils are skin irritants, even when used diluted. These can even burn your skin, so please use caution with these oils and dilute them well in a good carrier oil: Allspice, Birch, Camphor, Cinnamon, Clove, Oregano, Savory, Thuja, Thyme, Turmeric, Wintergreen.

These are potentially toxic oils. They have limited uses in perfumery, and some people use them to create pesticides. But my advice is "don't try this at home!": Arnica, Bitter Almond, Calamus, Hyssop, Mugwort, Mustard, Pennyroyal, Sassafras.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! These ARE toxic essential oils, far too strong for use by the hobbyist. General aromatherapy use of these oils may result in kidney and/or liver failure. When these oils enter your system, the breakdown which occurs creates toxic molecules which bind to the cells of the liver and kidneys, destroying them. This is serious, and too scary! Pharmaceutical companies may know how to use these oils to control certain human body functions, but I recommend that anyone else STAY AWAY: Horseradish, Jaborandi, Narcissus, Parsley, Santolina, Rue, Tansy, Tonka Bean, Wormwood. (Synthetic fragrance oils, such as narcissus, don't actually contain any narcissus and probably won't hurt you, unless you have allergies.)

Again, pregnant women need to exercise caution, don't use ESSENTIAL OILS AT ALL,  better safe than sorry. The jury is still out on the impact of essential oils on a developing fetus. Sniffing the wonderful aromas of most essential oils won't hurt, and may in fact help keep a pregnant woman's emotions balanced, but direct application of any essential oil to the skin probably should be avoided. Lavender, chamomile, rose, geranium, sandalwood and some citruses (orange, grapefruit) are the safest known essential oils and are probably OK, but please check with your doctor. The essential oils mentioned above are also fine for young children.


REMEMBER this website is not intended to take the place of a doctor. If you have a serious condition that warrants medical attention it is strongly advised that you visit your doctor as soon as possible. This website is not responsible for any injuries or illnesses caused from following the remedies/advice given. If you are interested in trying one of these holistic medicinal approaches, please speak with your physician first before trying one.

ALL ABOUT ESSENTIAL OILS

Essential oils are the natural substance extracted and distilled from aromatic plants. These oils have the power to heal, containing antibiotic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties, effective to both our bodies, our minds, and our emotions.

Essential oils have to be combined with a “carrier” oil, and not used directly on the skin. When blended together, they can be applied directly to the skin or diffused through the air. Essential oils travel through the entire body and can be used to “treat” or “affect” different systems within our bodies.

When diffused through the air, essential oils affect our moods, emotions, and energy or anxiety levels. They can contribute to our overall well being. Also be sure to use pure essential oils and avoid “aromatherapy grade” (translated as synthetic) oils. Other than to smell pleasant, they have no therapeutic properties.


MEDICINAL USES FOR THERAPEUTIC OILS

I have included some basic information on some of the more commonly used oils and how they might be beneficial in your life. Please don’t forget that this information is not meant to replace medical advice or treatment from your health care professional. I hope that you enjoy this information, and encourage to research and learn more about this valuable subject. Namaste….Dusty

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils as a ‘holistic’ treatment, balancing and harmonizing your body, mind and soul. Essential oils (sometimes referred to as ‘Medicines of the Earth’) are stored in tiny sacs between cells that carry the plants life force, or immune system. Essential Oils are extracted from different parts of flowers, fruits, barks, roots and leaves. They are derived from many different methods of extraction and the type of extraction depends on the type of plant the oil is being extracted from.

Essential oils regulate the plants functions, they are the carriers of the plants energy - they protect the plant from heat, cold, fungus, insects and assist plants in the fertilization or pollination process. Essential Oils are also considered the plants hormone system, which tends to mimic or own endocrine (hormone) system.

Society is beginning to understand that illnesses may originate in the mind and the ‘holistic’ approach may be necessary for healing both mind and body. Essential Oils act as a ‘biotic’ in a non-evasive manner, building and mobilizing your body’s own healing powers as opposed to a synthetic ‘antibiotic’ which adds further stress and trauma to living tissue, eventually causing allergies and side effects. Naturally, essential oils have a small number of constituents and trace elements. These trace elements have a synergistic effect on the other elements. Only those ‘exact’ elements give Essential Oils their therapeutic quality. The synthetic industry desperately tries to reconstruct these complex combinations of components which is virtually impossible. They also lack the ‘vital’ live force in it’s natural origin. There is a type of photography called ‘Carillon - in which you can see the energy fields that surround living organisms. Aromatherapy is a valuable complimentary treatment to current mainstream medicines. A photo of a freshly cut leaf, shows a distinct colorful aura. As time passes and the leaf dies, that aura disappears. Photographs of high quality essential oils show a strong visible aura.

Essential Oils affect our physiological well being and regulate physical imbalances. They also remove ‘toxins’ on which illness flourishes. Essential Oils invite us to appreciate mother nature. Our physical well being depends on us being totally well. We are intended to be in touch with nature and living in the city with all the pollution and concrete, makes it hard for us to do this. Essential oils allow us that luxury. The practice of aromatherapy includes many different forms. Proceed to the next page to start finding out about those forms.

HOW ESSENTIAL OILS WORK

Olfactory System

Our sense of smell is our most enduring and powerful of all our senses. It is linked with emotions which are stored in our limbic brain. Our memory of scent is longer lasting and more accurate than our sight or reasoning memory. Scent triggers our emotions affecting the autonomic system (controls nerves leading to your body’s glands and organs). Stress level, heart rate, respiratory and digestive systems are all influenced by our emotional state. Essential Oils fragrant molecules travel to the brain through the breathing process - having the ability to affect the brain immediately through the olfactory system. This is the only place on the body where the central nervous system is directly exposed to the environment. Our other nerves or senses must travel through our sensory path of neurons and spinal cord before reaching the brain. The oldfactory bulb is lined on both sides with a special tissue consisting of approximately ten million nerve cells covered with a thin layer of mucous. These nerve cells are replaced every twenty eight days. Each nerve cell has six to eight tiny hairs acting as receptors by electrical impulse to the oldfactory membrane (actual brain cells)


Topical
Essential Oils absorbed topically (through the skins pores) reach the bloodstream through connective and lymphatic tissues. This happens in approximately 10-20 minutes. Essential Oils have a minute molecular structure and the capability to penetrate the subcuteous or (fat) layer allowing easy penetration of the skin.

Caution
Caution must be taken when ingesting the oils and in early pregnancy. Only under the experience of a trained therapist are these methods to be recommended. When essential oils are taken internally they are least effective because they have to travel through gastric juices before reaching the specified organ needing treatment.

METHODS OF EXTRACTION

Essential oils are extracted from various different parts of flowers, fruits, bark, roots and leaves. There are many different methods of extraction and the type of extraction depends on the type of plant the oil is being extracted from. Here are some of the more widely used methods.


Distillation
Small pieces of plant material are put into the container in the still. The Water below the container is heated to create steam and carries the oils extracted through the tube to the cold water - which carries it to the receptacle. The receptacle is filled with water and essential oils (essential oils are lighter than water) float to the top of the receptacle. Stainless steel stills are preferred to metal as some essential oils will cause metal to corrode.


Cold Press (Expression)
Citrus fruit has small (very visible) oil glands deposited in the skin of the fruit. The skin of the fruit is shredded, mixed with water, and extracted by pressure. No heat is used in this process as this would destroy volatile and important substances (as does overcooking vegetables.) It is very important that fruit used by this procees be of organically grown origin(ie. no pesticides).


Enfleurage - (Pornades)
Freshly cut plant material (such as jasmine) is immersed in a neutral fat or oil and spread on sheets of glass. This process is repeated for weeks and eventually the fat becomes saturated with the volatile oils and then alcohol is used to separate the essential oils from the fat.


Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Method
This method is a fairly recent discovery. CO2 or butane, when liquified under pressure, extracts essential oils from plants. Essential oils distilled in this manner allow the plants volatile components to remain. Aromatherapists are still studying the properties of essential oils are extracted by this method.

Upon extraction, essential oils fall into three of the following categories:


Concrete
Extracted by hydro-carbon (petroleum) type solvent from raw or live tissues of the vegetable family. Usually solid and have a waxy non-crystalized consistency. This method of extraction is used when heat takes away the ‘nutrients’ or goodness of certain plants (bark, flower, herb, root) Concretes contain 50% wax and 50% oil therefore being more stable and concentrated.


Absolute
Extracted from Concrete by a second process using pure alcohol. Not recommended for thereputic work because of the remaining impurities from the alcohol (2% or less). The texture is highly concentrated liquid. In rare cases solid or semi-solid (clary sage).


Resinoid
Extracted from hydrocarbon solvent from dead organic material. Typical resinoids (amber), oleoresins (turpentine) and oleo gun resins (frankinsense and myrhh).


Various textures
Liquid, semi-liquid or solid. Is a good fixative to prolong the scent of a fragrance

Origin of Essential Oils

Essential oils are meant to be harvested in the country where Mother Nature intended them to grow. Aromatherapy is part of a multi billion dollar industry and farmers and wholesalers are trying to grow crops of plants where they are not intended to grow. Plants have their optimum healing properties when grown and harvested in the optimal growing and climatic regions. It is also important that the oils are grown botanically or wildcrafted without pesticides and fertilizers.

Price
Basically - you get what you pay for. There are different qualities of essential oils, just as there are different quality tomatoes, there will also be some price fluctuation, depending on the harvest conditions. It also depends on the amount of Essential Oils a plant produces: It takes 160 lbs of Lavendar to make 1 lb of Esssential Oil, it takes 1000 lbs of Jasmine to make 1lb of Essential Oil, etc. Some companies have re-labeling and high overhead costs which are projected in their oils. Some Essential Oils are also diluted (make sure the carrier is botanical). Become a label reader and ask your seller for all of this information. There are some tests a consumer can do to test the purity of the oils. Essential oils are not an ‘oil’ in the true sense of the word. Unlike fatty oils they are volatile and evaporate without a trace (except maybe a bit of color) when dropped on a piece of tissue or white silk, leaving no oily residue. The nose knows, trust it !!!

Packaging:
Essential Oils should be kept in dark containers and should not be exposed directly to light or drastic tempuratures - this can diminish the volatile properties of the oils. All of the PURE Aromatherapy blends are confined to the strict standards we have set for ourselves. As you can see by the photo, our oils are stored and shipped directly to you in dark glass containers which prevent contamination from UVA and UVB sources.

Shelf Life
Essential oils are fresh botanicals and should be treated as such. They are at their optimum for healing power within the first few years. Citrus fruits are more sensitive and should be used as soon as possible. Some essential oils like, jasmine, rose, patchould, sandalwood, ripen over the years, much like a good wine.
Finally, a word on safety. Most essential oils are safe to use in minimal doses. Your body tends to take what it needs from the essential oils and dispense of what it does not need through various organ elimination (lungs,skin (sweat), and excretion (urine, bowels).

SUGGESTED USES/APPLICATIONS FOR ESSENTIAL OILS

BATH

Bathing with essential oils is a delightful experience for the body, mind and soul. It is one of the most effective ways to benefit from Aromatherapy. In warm water, essential oils are readily absorbed into the body tissues and the aromatic vapors effortlessly inhaled. This benefits the 'entire' body/mind system. After the tub is filled, add 5-10 drops of your specifically chosen essential oil/blend to water. Breath deeply, relax and let all your worries decimate into the water. For dry, sensitive skin add essential oil(s) to a carrier oil (jojoba, grapeseed, etc....)

MASSAGE

Essential oils can produce incredible results when used in massage. They have the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin tissues and then are circulated throughout the entire mind/body system. Inhaling the aromatic vapors also have an immediate effect upon the mind and emotions. Massages are therapeutically beneficial for internal problems, stress, anxiety, depression, lymphatic drainage, weight loss, detoxification, circulation, easing pain, and sore muscles. Custom blend essential oils for your massage to your specific needs.

SKIN CARE

Essential oils easily penetrate into the underlying layers of the skin (dermas), promoting regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin cells. They can be purchased pre-blended (make sure you read your ingredient listings - look out for mineral oil, it is natural, but clogs pores) essential oils can also be added to facial cleansers, toners, creams and lotions you may purchase unscented skin care and add 10-15 drops of essential oil to 1 ounce of liquid. Do not apply essential oils directly to skin without the advice of an aromatherapist. Essential oils have incredibly rejuvenating and moisturizing effects on your skin, also beneficial when inhaling essential oils during your daily skin care regime.

HAIR CARE

Essential oils 'vastly' improve the health of your hair and scalp, strengthening and stimulating the hair follicles, enhancing growth, and regulating oil secretion. For dry damaged hair, mix 10-15 drops per 1 ounce of jojoba and massage into scalp and comb through hair ( can leave on for thirty minutes, then shampoo). Essential oils can moisturize, eliminate dandruff, and add shine to your hair. Essential oils can be added to your s hair to eliminate frizz may also be added to a 'hot oil' treatment.

INHALATION

The easiest way to enjoy the benefits of essential oils is to inhale their aromatic fragrance directly. Try a few drops on a tissue, or a few drops on your pillow at night, wonderful for the respiratory system when inhaled through steam vaporization.

DIFFUSION

Also known as environmental fragrancing, used in Aromatherapy diffusers, spray/body mists, air fresheners. There are a variety of ways to disperse essential oils directly into the air. This is a very beneficial way to refresh the air, kill airborne bacteria, promotes physical and well being, creates various moods in your home, car or work place, can also protect your aura from negative energies.

*NOTE*

Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be used with extreme respect and care. Never take essential oils internally or during pregnancy without the advice of your aromatherapist. This reference chart is not intended to treat, diagnose or prescribe.

HISTORY:
Aromatherapy has been used for thousands of years by many different cultures. The first written list of herbs was compiled approximately 3,000 years ago by the Chinese. Ancient cultures of the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman writings show the use of various plants and flowers to cure ailments. Considered a alternate branch of the healing arts, aromatherapy has seen a great increase in interest around the world. Stores commonly sell scented objects such as lotions, candles, incense, and event scented pillows! There are even more new aromatherapy products being created. It is important to understand that the practice of aromatherapy is very individual. You may like one scent and hate another. It is important to experiment and try different scents and even combinations of scents to find what you really enjoy.
