Here I not only let you know which grade of essential oils you should buy for maximal results therapeutically, but I also tell a little story as well.

So why do plants have essential oils? Well, I will explain all in this lecture for you.

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years so I will give you a very brief look at some of the history of essential oil usage and how 4 thieves used essential oils to steal the possessions from people who had died from the bubonic plague but because they rubbed this specific essential oil combination on their skin, they did not die and could freely walk around stealing  jewelry and money from the dead bodies.

Lets look at the different ways that essential oils are extracted. we go into the world of essential oils, CO2 extracts, absolutes and hydrolats. What are all of these? You are about to find out.

Essential oils can vary enormously in cost and although there are many factors that affect cost, there is one factor that really makes the difference .

It is essential(excuse the pun) to know what to look for when buying essential oils

When you spend your hard earned money on E.O.s it is important to know how to look after them and also the shelf life of the different essential oils as they can vary greatly.

In a perfect world, we would buy all organic essential oils but the availability and cost makes it very difficult for most of us. However, I think because of the extraction method of citrus essential oils it is really important to buy organic when possible.

Here are the various ways essential oils get adulterated and one of the ways to test if your essential oil has been cut with a base oil. Check out this link to see great in-depth article on adulteration and testing methods.

Solubol is an excellent solution for dispersing essential oils into water or hydrosols evenly. It has a very mild aroma and doesn’t seem to influence the aroma of any blends. Solubol works excellently to emulsify drops of essential oils that would otherwise not dissolve in the water/hydrosol blend, protecting your skin from any possible adverse effects that full-strength (neat) drops of essential oil can have. We also like to use our Solubol in sprays we make for damaged or sensitive skin, as well.

Here is the excerpt from Robert Tisserand's page on his repellents:

https://tisserandinstitute.org/learn-more/mosquito-repellents/

In our recent trawl for questions we had several about insect repellents, especially in relation to Zika. Zika virus is transmitted to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito (A. aegypti and A. albopictus). Read more about Zika here http://www.cdc.gov/zika/transmission/ Most of the research on essential oils and mosquitoes used A. egypti, but there’s also some on A. albopticus. Turmeric oil does repel both for sure.

There are many possibilities for essential oils that repel mosquitoes.

You may have heard that lemon-scented eucalyptus oil is especially effective, as effective as DEET, but this is not exactly true. The product that is in fact very effective is not a natural essential oil. Research showed that the most active repellent in Eucalyptus citriodora is p-menthane 3,8-diol (PMD), which is a very minor constituent. The product being used in insect repellents has about 60% PMD, which has been artificially boosted. I’m not saying you should not use it, but what I don’t want you to do is to buy a natural E. citriodora oil and think you’re getting something super-effective. It does work reasonably well, but so do many other oils.

Catnip oil is especially effective and relatively long-lasting, but it is rather pricey. Lemongrass, Cinnamon bark, Cassia and Clove are all pretty effective, but be extremely careful about using any of these directly on your skin. Peppermint, Turmeric and Citronella are safer for skin and about as effective. Some oils work better in combination than they do singly, for example Citronella and Eucalyptus globulus, Sweet Basil and Eucalyptus globulus, Cinnamon bark and Lemongrass.

Here are two formulations I would personally use to fend off unwanted Aedes. The first one would be safe to use on the skin or clothes and is safe in pregnancy. For toddlers substitute the peppermint with ginger oil. The other is recommended only to be sprayed in the air or vaporized. Avoid contact with skin.

You can use any type of base. In one study Olive oil was compared with Coconut oil as a base for essential oils, and Coconut oil was very much more effective.
