Why are pure essential oils so much more expensive Essential oils are highly concentrated, rose oil for example is produced from the distillation of the petals and it may take 60,000 blooms to produce a single drop of oil. Essential oils vary in price depending upon the complexity of the extraction process and also the amounts needed to extract the oil. Does the effect depend upon the quantity used. No, the concentration of the oils means that a few drops are sufficient. The effects of aromatherapy are also subtle and it is more important to use quality oils than to use greater amounts.
Aromatherapy is a complementary therapy.
