One should take care when encountering these terpeneless oils because the natural synergy of the oil has been changed. It now has a higher percentage of the other constituents. These oils are useful mostly in the food and cosmetic industries to provide a uniform product. These oils too, would surely lack the natural synergy found in natural oils. Using even one synthetic chemical in an otherwise natural oil renders the oil synthetic as a whole.
Price can be an indication that an oil is synthetically reproduced or extended.
One can see, that there are many products available which are called Essential Oils, but they are produced in many different ways and to many different ends. The buyer must become knowledgeable about these variations in order to make intelligent and appropriate choices for their desired use. Reprinted with permission by NAHA .
