Another interesting point she makes is, "The scent alone is strong enough to kill your gut flora." Wow. That I didn't know!
Some essential oils put one at risk for breast cancer and she also addresses the known fact they poison pets.
She quotes, Susun S. Weed who says essential oils are the "white sugar of herbalism."
Outstanding article!!
I am so happy people are finally realizing essential oils are not God's gift to humans, but poisons plain and simple. Even if these volatile concoctions don't bother you and you choose to poison yourself, keep in mind there are people sharing your air space who not only react badly to essential oils, but don't want to be poisoned! Please be considerate!
Essential oils seem to be the rave now. Essential oils against chemicals. Organic shops sell them and they go like hot cakes. There was once I smelt pure rose essential oil and it was really good but that cost an arm and leg for just 5ml as it took hundreds of rose petals to extract that amount of oil.
ReplyDeleteThe extraction process is toxic. It's not pure. Don't be fooled.
DeleteDo they have extraction process which isn’t toxic?
DeleteThe product still produces VOCs and formaldehyde. Most extraction processes use chemicals or some kind of solvent as this expedites the procedure and saves money, but even if distillation in it's rawest form is used, the hydrosols still emit VOCs, some more than others.
