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.  

1 drop of essential oil 1-3 times a day mixed with a teaspoon of olive oil, honey, cane sugar or on a specific neutral pill (1 ml of Ceylon citronella essential oil contains 15 drops).
