NOTE::  Why we call them Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

There are many people who say that there is no such thing as a therapeutic grade essential oil, and we disagree and would like to share our reasons and let you decide for yourself.  At Ingredients To Die For we use the term 'Therapeutic Grade' to further define our Essential Oils because we believe that it's your right as a consumer to know whether, or not, the therapeutic activity of any essential oil was a consideration when the essential oil was sourced.  May suppliers will use the fragrance of the essential oil as their only criteria, while some use the price point as their only criteria.  We care about those criteria, as well, but it is not the driving force behind our essential oil stock.  When we source essential oils our first criteria is that the plant material, and all of the elements necessary for it to be therapeutic, and be that which is referred to in therapeutic guides, and educational institutions, so that we can be assured that the essential oil will deliver the known therapeutic activity of that, particular, essential oil.   With essential oils there is a world of difference in quality, going from one grower to another, so it's important that we have some way of conveying that ideal to our customer.  We don't believe that we need government oversight to tell us that we can call an essential oil sought out, using strict guidelines, based on therapeutic reference, and activity, a therapeutic grade essential oil.  Just because the government hasn't yet classified essential oils as therapeutic, or otherwise, doesn't mean that they don't exist, that only means that the government hasn't taken the time to recognize that there is a difference.  Those of us that have a passion for, and have taken the time to learn about, essential oils, know that there is a big difference.  When one supplier goes to the local winery and buys their lavender essential oil because it smells good, and they got a good price, with no regard for the growing conditions, i.e., climate, soil conditions and treatments, time of harvest, species, all of which lead to the chemical composition, and determine whether, or not, it will have the therapeutic activity that is reported for lavender essential oil, that is not, necessarily, a therapeutic grade essential oil.  It may be, but it wasn't sourced with respect to the criteria that differentiate a therapeutic activity, so that is an unknown. Maybe they don't care about the therapeutic activity, and that is fine too.  Some people just use essential oils because they are natural and they like the fragrance.  We enjoy the natural fragrance of essential oils, as well, but their wonderful fragrance is second to their therapeutic activity because we use essential oils therapeutically, first and foremost.  Every one of us has the right to gauge quality based on their own criteria, for some that may be fragrance, for others it may be price point, and then for others it may be therapeutic activity.  For those suppliers who value therapeutic activity and who search out essential oils based on whether, or not, the essential oils contain the chemical composition that gives the essential oil the power to deliver that therapeutic activity, for which the essential oil is known, it makes sense to call them therapeutic grade otherwise how would you know that that was the criteria required when that essential oil was sourced.    Of course, in a free market, we also have a fundamental right to call our product what we choose to, as do you.
