Masters Series Volume 2: The Biology of Essential Oils

The fact that essential oils are produced by living organisms is too often lost in the shuffle of commerce. Indeed, commercial essential oils are more often than not only partially derived from a specific plant and partially constructed in the laboratory. While the primary reason for adulteration is to cut cost, the readiness with which the marketplace accepts those adulterated oils reflects a severe lack of understanding of how and why products from a living organism are different from those from a chemical factory. Efforts to establish quality standards through chemical analysis, while important and useful, have also helped to blur the distinction and somehow created an impression of equivalence between natural and synthetic substances.
