Hydrosols: Aromatherapy's Best Kept Secret

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by essential oils, wondering which ones are safe for kids, how to dilute them properly, or if they’re too strong for your skin, you’re not alone. Hydrosols, sometimes called floral waters or distillates, are the gentle and water-based counterpart to essential oils. They’re produced during the steam distillation process and carry many of the same therapeutic properties as essential oils, but in a much gentler form. That’s exactly why I love hydrosols. In this video I'll address: What Hydrosols areHow Hydrosols are madeSafety concerns with Hydrosols (are there any?)When to use hydrosolsPreservatives and Shelf LifeSigns they're going badWhat to do with your hydrosolsUsing Hydrosols internallyUsing Hydrosols with petsDilution guidelines for HydrosolsBody systems Hydrosols help withGeneral guidelines for using hydrosols Visit the episode page here: https://www.LeaJacobson.com/bestkeptsecret Buy the book: https://www.LeaJacobson.com/HYDROSOLS Send us Fan Mail This is Lea Jacobson empowering you to use essential oils safely.

When Essential Oil Companies Fail You

If you've been following this series you've been armed with the right questions to ask when checking out an essential oil company, as well as the warnings you should be seeing for ten popular essential oils. Some of you have been disappointed in the lack of transparency when it comes to essential oil safety precautions, and don't blame you! As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist who doesn't sell essential oils, I'm going to address why it matters that a company provides proper safety info, and what to do about it. I'm also going to touch on GC/MS and third-party testing, and the myth that "you get what you pay for." And at the end of the episode we'll talk about what the term "therapeutic grade" means - and why it was banned. https://www.leajacobson.com/BestEOBrand5 Send us Fan Mail This is Lea Jacobson empowering you to use essential oils safely.

10 Problematic Essential Oils (How to Choose the Best Essential Oil Brand Part 4)

So far in this series on choosing an essential oil brand, I've armed you with some great questions to ask when you check out a company's website. This can help you determine whether or not they are providing the safety information you need to stay safe. In this episode, we're going to zero in on 10 essential oils that most companies keep in stock and see if they provide all the pertinent information for these potentially problematic essential oils. As a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist and Essential Oil Safety Expert who doesn't sell essential oils, I'm going to cover all the safety information you need to know for Anise, Bergamot, Cinnamon Bark and Leaf, Clove, Eucalyptus, Fennel, Lemon, Oregano, Peppermint, and Wintergreen essential oils. Without having this information, you could be putting yourself and your family at risk if you're currently using the essential oils I just mentioned - without taking certain precautions - or avoiding some completely. Plus, I'll talk about what to do if the company you've been purchasing from isn't being transparent about essential oil safety.
