This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemistry is the science of aromatherapy. This brief explanation of the organic building blocks of essential oils is meant to be a helpful reference guide for having a basic understanding about the chemical make up of essential oils. All of life is made of three elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These three molecules are the components of every essential oil. Based on their individual chemical makeup these three elements of essential oils can be divided into 12 Chemical families. These 12 chemical families tell us about the therapeutic properties, actions and effects of essential oils. You can select essential oils based on their specific therapeutic chemical properties, actions and effects to formulate aromatherapy blends for healing specific conditions. In this quick reference guide to the twelve (12) chemical families you'll learn several of the specific properties, actions and effects of each of the twelve (12) chemical families, their archetypal pattern (typical area of use in aromatherapy) and alchemical or elemental power (primary or basic nature), along with a list of some of the most common single pure essential oils in each family. "Chemistry Essential Oils," serves as a helpful guide for selecting essential oils as a healing tool by plant identification which includes their Latin name, preferred distillation method, part of plant used, and some of best locations for production. You can also use, "Chemistry Essential Oils," as a quick reference for blending ideas and information on the healing properties for each chemical family. Any cautions for each chemical family are also noted..

Today society looks to science to document health choices and the oils do not disappoint. The growing body of evidence of their efficacy for more than just scenting a room underscores the need for production standards, quality control parameters for raw materials and finished products, and well-defined Good Manufacturing Practices. Edited by two renowned experts, the Handbook of Essential Oils covers all aspects of essential oils from chemistry, pharmacology, and biological activity, to production and trade, to uses and regulation. Bringing together significant research and market profiles, this comprehensive handbook provides a much-needed compilation of information related to the development, use, and marketing of essential oils, including their chemistry and biochemistry. A select group of authoritative experts explores the historical, biological, regulatory, and microbial aspects. This reference also covers sources, production, analysis, storage, and transport of oils as well as aromatherapy, pharmacology, toxicology, and metabolism. It includes discussions of biological activity testing, results of antimicrobial and antioxidant tests, and penetration-enhancing activities useful in drug delivery. New information on essential oils may lead to an increased understanding of their multidimensional uses and better, more ecologically friendly production methods. Reflecting the immense developments in scientific knowledge available on essential oils, this book brings multidisciplinary coverage of essential oils into one all-inclusive resource.
