Truth about the EOBBD



  Dear friends who ask to be on this free news letter,

There are many things floating around out there right now about me and my oils. So to help you understand the EOBBD read the following description

 

 E.O.B.B.D Essential Oil Certification


Explained by J.C. Chalcat, PhD of chemistry.   
 
                                  
Recreational aromatherapy, which is what we normally see advertised in the media, can get away with purchasing essential oils of unknown origin or quality. But, for therapeutic medicinal purposes that is not the case. A Therapeutic grade oil must be able to be

1) Traced back to the field and distiller from which it was produced
2) The exact chemical makeup must be known.

 E.O.B.B.D. means essential oils botanically and biochemically defined. This is done by 


tracing of lots, botanical description, organoleptic characteristics, extraction mode, full physical and chemical analyses (GC/MS coupling). These controls are made under the responsibility of a Ph.D. pharmacist. For therapeutic use, essential oils must meet various standards guaranteeing origin.
   
The exact botanical species of the plant

The term Lavender for example is inadequate because there is more than one species of lavender. Each species has its own particular aroma, and a specific essence is found in its tissues. A properly defined botanical species gives the name of the TYPE in Latin, followed by a QUALITATIVE DESCRIPTION, and sometimes the VARIETY, if such exists. Lavandula, then, is not a species but a general name which covers many types of lavender such as: vera, spica, stoechas, hybrida, these being qualitative descriptions of individual different types of lavender. The association of the TYPE and DESCRIPTION defines the BOTANICAL SPECIES, for example: Lavandula vera, Lavandula hybrida.



The producing organ

This precision is of little concern when the entire plant is distilled, (as with Mentha piperita - Peppermint) but it must be of relevance in the case of certain plants principally trees or aromatic shrubs, because the essence varies qualitatively according to the part of the plant being considered. Cinnamomum zeylanicum or Cinnamon of Ceylon (LAURACEAES) expands into three specific essences: essential oil of leaves, rich in eugenol (phenol), essential oil of bark, rich in cinnamaldehyde (aldehyde),essential oil of roots, rich in borneol (ketone).


The correct description should be by Chemotypes. This ties the scientific testing of the constituents to the plants producing orgain. For example; cinnamon high in cinnamaldehyde (which is in the aldehyde family) would denote being prduced from the bark, cinnamon high in eugenol (which is in the phenol fhamily), and cinnamon high in borneol (which is in the ketone family). Thus using chemotype is the scientific tie of understanding of the chemical compounds with in the essential oil.

The biochemical specificity or chemotype

According to its biochemical specificity, the essential oil of any given species will have some individual characteristics of its own. The data of this specificity shows the composition, which provides the essential oil with its particular therapeutic action, though such components are not necessarily in the majority. The biochemical specificity must then be mentioned so that the therapeutic use of the essential oil corresponds to its properties. Example: Thymus vulgaris b.s. linalool, Thymus vulgaris b.s. thymol, Thymus vulgaris b.s. citronellol, etc.

 Furthermore, the essential oil having the following characteristics must absolutely be rejected: -deterpened essential oil, -chemically reconstituted essential oil (Niaouli, frequently is) -adulterated essential oil (when synthetic aromatic products are added) -essential oil diluted with less precious essential oil,-essential oil extracted with organic solvents,-burned essential oil (distilled at too high a temperature and pressure). 
With such products it is impossible to practice aromatic medicine. Their use leads quickly to manifestations of intolerance and intoxication, which are contrary to the balance and health that we seek.

This is an oil I rejected --you can plainly see it has bee tampered with by man.

With this infromation you can clearly see I have fullfiled all of the requirments of the EOBBD testing on each oil.



1) Traced back to the field and distiller from which it was produced
2) The exact chemical makeup must be known.

Every oil in the forever young line up has been tested and defined in this way and each oil has the following:

Certificate Of Analysis Sheet
 Product No:

I hope this helps you to understand my level of commitment to the essential oils. I choose not to throw dirt but rather show truth. As they say, when you throw dirt you are only losing ground.
