Essential oils are found in many pharmacies, health food stores, new-age stores, department stores, and natural food supermarkets. You can choose from a wide variety of brands. Essential oils are not of the same quality–most essential oils available on the market today are not high quality products and have little or no therapeutic value. They either have been cut with other substances, rectified, deterpened, adulterated, or are partly synthetic. Most essential oils lack information about their true content. You can find yourself with a very hazardous product, with no guarantee about its origin and therapeutic value. Buy only 100% pure, certified essential oils!
At Alternatives For Health we carry three lines of essential oils: Lotus. AromaTherapy International, and Young Living. All are 15ml bottles unless otherwise specified.
We will be glad to help you with your oil decisions based on what you are using them for. Quality is essential to us. We also carry many products made with essential oils.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing. Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. Lavender is an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances. It is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy. Therapeutic-grade lavender is highly regarded for skin and beauty. It may be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises, and skin irritations. The French scientist René Gattefossé was among the first to discover these properties when he was severely burned in a laboratory explosion. Lavender may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. 5ml
Lemon (Citrus limon) has a strong, purifying, citrus scent that is revitalizing and uplifting. Lemon consists of 68 percent dlimonene, a powerful antioxidant. It is delightfully refreshing in water and may be beneficial for the skin. Lemon may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rinds of lemons. Jean Valnet MD estimated that it takes 3,000 lemons to produce one kilo of oil. In his book, The Practice of Aromatherapy, Valnet wrote that lemon is a tonic for supporting the nervous and sympathetic nervous system. 5ml
