I am a Pharmacist by profession. When working with Pharmaceuticals and Vitamins, I want the best quality available for my family, friends and patients. When I find the best product I then have faith that particular product will do what it is supposed to do because it has no added ingredients. In other words, it is pure and unadulterated.
I look at Essential Oils in the same manner. After all, Essential Oils are medicinal substances that come from natural products, plants. When I use Essential Oils I am using them for a certain therapeutic outcome. As with Pharmaceuticals, I want the purest substance I can find. That is why I buy my oils from Andrea. She buys directly from the distillers and has a Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry performed for each oil. These GCMS sheets are included, routinely, when you receive the oil. These sheets will give you information about the purity of the oil by listing the chemical constituents. Not only can these chemicals differ from region to region for the same oil, but also from one season to the next due to environmental factors. It is important to receive these GCMS sheets to review and verify the chemicals for your desired outcome, and this is just part of her doing business. I have been very pleased with the oils I have purchased from Andrea. I would recommend her oils to everyone.
I would also recommend Andrea’s Aromatherapy Certification Course. The course is very well planned and the pace is very good. There is a wealth of information jam packed into one binder and 15 days of classes. The way the class is spread over a few months makes it less intense and less intimidating. You have time to study and comprehend the material before you move to the next section. Andrea has a great learning environment all wrapped around this wonderful packing of information. This course is highly recommended for anyone wanting to work seriously with Essential Oils and Aromatherapy.
