Difference between essential and aromatherapy grade oils?

please let me know????Difference between essential and aromatherapy grade oils?
As far as I know there isn't a standard for advertising ';aromatherapy grade'; oils. I'd just assume that all pure essential oils are aromatherapy grade, so it's kind of redundant to call it that.





You can buy essential oils at most health food stores that are pure and good for beginners. Look for ';100% essential oil'; or ';pure essential oil'; on the label. I'd suggest sticking with them for a bit, and if you get more into aromatherapy, you can buy from suppliers online who specialize in essential oils.

And FYI, essential oils can't be made at home, unless you have a home distiller, because they're steam distilled. Plants constituents extracted into alcohol are tinctures, not essential oils. They are two different things.Difference between essential and aromatherapy grade oils?
essential oils can be ingested and aromatherapy oils are used for their scent.
Most Essential Oils CANNOT be ingested as the plant oils are too concentrated and may harm you. Please consult an Aromatherapist or Herbalist for more information.





Essential Oils are made by pulling the volatile oils into an alcohol compound. Some people can make this at home with some herbs using a very high grade of Vodka, as high proof as you can get. Most require more processing to extract the oils, such as Rose EO.





Aromatherapy is how EO is used, say in massage or to scent a pillow at bedtime to sleep or to relax the muscles in a bath.
essential oils? or essential fatty acids? Essential fatty acids are the fatty acids that are not made by the body and must be eaten for repair of body tissues.....Aromatherapy oils are used externally for massages and relaxation
