Our
Essential Oils are guaranteed to be raw, genuine, unaltered, pristine,
single species, and therapeutic. One would consider these qualities to
be more than adequate when considering an essential oil purchase. And indeed,
these are desirable and amazing qualities. However, Seema International
offers two more guarantees that are even more dynamic in nature. You will
want to become properly informed about them.
·
#1 Our Company is able to trace their essential oils from plant to bottle.
· #2
Chemotyped oils are not used as a marketing ploy for greater profits.
To
the average person who uses essential oils, these two statements may not,
at first, be meaningful. However, I believe you will soon find tremendous
value in these statements and become even more dedicated to our integrity. |

In
most cases, money seems to be a driving force in business. It is the same
in the essential oil industry. The flavor and fragrance industry, which
consumes nearly 90% of the world's essential oil production, looks for
essential oils that are of no particular quality, inexpensive, and plentiful.
That industry then re-distills and blends these oils to suit the scent
needs of other industries, including food consumables, cosmetic, personal
care, and household. You can expect that both artificial and natural additives
will be injected into these essential oils to perfect a desired flavor
and smell that can be replicated.
The
therapeutic essential oil industry and the flavor and fragrance industry
have struggled over 20 years to have separate identities. Yet, even the
therapeutic essential oil market struggles within itself to keep integrity.
Many
companies involved in the therapeutic market see no problem crossing over
and purchasing essential oils of no particular quality when necessary.
Even when the more pristine, exclusive essential oils rise in price and
are difficult to locate, our Company does not compromise. We are not interested
in cheaper quality oils simply to gain greater profit.
Some
essential oil companies seek selectivity by using acronyms such as AFNOR,
which lead people to believe these letters are some kind of magic guarantee
for purity. In fact, this is not the case. These marketing techniques only
lead 'curious' people to investigate further. If you would like more information
specifically on AFNOR, please request it from me.
The
question always arises. How can the average consumer know the quality of
essential oils they are buying? I've heard numerous people say, "You all
say the same thing. How can an ordinary person know who is telling the
truth"? I believe first and foremost, you must ask questions, and if you
don't get the answers you want, or the answers that make sense, a red flag
should go up. You also need to understand a little about essential oils,
and this involves reading and learning. Essential oils may not be easy,
but they certainly are worth it. |
