SOAR TO SUCCESS / April 2018 / Personal Growth Strategies Essential Oils – Not all are created equal! By Debra Reis, RN, MSN, NP I love my essential oils and supplements. I knowtheir source, havevisitedthe farmsand have seen their distillation process. Often, people believe all products are created equal – not true! It is important that you investigate the source of your products. Many essential oils are thinned with adulterants or other synthetics but still labeled as “Pure” and this is ok by our laws. ,I RI WKH HVVHQWLDO RLO SURGXFW LV SXUH WKHQ the label can read “Pure” Essential Oil. Also, do not be fooled by companies that use WKH ZRUGV WKHUDSHXWLF JUDGH FHUWLĆHG JUDGH clinical grade or other grading – there is no such grading system in the US. This is all marketing. Again know your source. There is a bigmovement inour country regarding our food and knowing the source. Many refer to this as Farm to Table. I believe this is something weshouldapplytoouressentialoils,supplements, and personal care products – anything we put in or on our body. From the Farm to Your Body!
