SELECTION OF ESSENTIAL OILS (E.O.B.B.D.)  

The essential oils offered by Esential’Arôms are classified as Essential Oils Botanically and Biochemically Defined (E.O.B.B.D.). This means that each oil has been selected according to the following parameters:  

1. Plant species: all plants used are botanically classified, so we can undoubtedly inform about any plant species using the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.  

2. Producing organ (p. o.): not all parts of the plant have the same composition, so it is necessary to choose the organ (root, seed, leaves, etc.) that, once distilled, will have the characteristic substances.  

3. Biochemical specificity (b. s.) or CHEMOTYPE: once the essential oil is distilled, it is necessary to verify its chemical composition, that will characterize its use. To check the correct biotype, it is performed an analytical control by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrophotometry.  

4. Biotype: depending on the habitat where the species grows (terrain, altitude, etc.), the essential oil composition can vary, so verifying chemotypes is essential.  

Use it always diluted. In a 30 ml-bottle prepare a blend of 30 ml of virgin olive oil and 8-10 drops of essential oil (a maximum of 10 drops). Take 0.5 ml of this blend 1-3 times a day for 10 days. Do not take it pure. Then take a rest period of 10 days. 1 ml of oregano essential oil contains 15 drops.  

PHENOLATED FOOD ESSENTIAL OILS  

· Essential oils which are rich in phenols (thyme b. s.: thymol; thyme b. s.: carvacrol; clove b. s.: eugenol; pepper b. s.: eugenol; oregano b. s.: carvacrol) and in some aldehydes (cinnamaldehyde: cinnamon bark b. s. cinnamaldehyde) should be used with extreme caution. Never apply the oils directly to the skin and never allow the oils to be released in the air, as they can be irritating to mucous membranes if inhaled. Orally always use the essential oil diluted in a carrier oil.  

· For essential oils containing phenols, prepare a mixture of 30 ml of extra virgin olive oil with 8-10 drops of the essential oil that contains phenols in a 30 ml amber glass dropper and shake vigorously. Take half a pipette (approx. 0.5 ml) 1-3 times a day. Follow the treatment for a maximum of 10 days alternating it with periods of rest of the same duration.
