There is no such thing as Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils - the term is meaningless! How can this be??

Hi folks,

There is no governmental body in the United States that certifies essential oils in a specific grade. So companies that use the term "Therapeutic Grade", or "Medicinal Grade" Oils are simply misinformed or are simply looking to make money by using these popular terms.

Important factors in selecting essential oils is within the species of plant, and location - as well as growing conditions (rain, sunshine, etc..)
We get many question from customers on our Quality.

If someone is selling you a specific grade of essential oil, they are not buying them that way - it is simply a way of marketing essential oils that many sellers have adopted because it has become profitable to advertise them in this manner.
