Essential Oils
All oils sold at Louisville Salt Cave are therapeutic grade and no harm has come to any human because of their production. We sell Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon, Tea Tree, Orange, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, Myrrh, Eucalyptus, Rose, Sandalwood, Patchouli and Neroli.
It is imperative to use therapeutic grade essential oils for medicinal and therapeutic purposes. It is vital that the essential oils are 100% pure, unadulterated and unaltered. The original plant material should be grown in specific geographic areas that produce the optimal soil type, altitude and temperature each plant requires. The oils must be distilled at the lowest possible heat and the correct part of the plant must be used. Some oils are distilled at high temperatures that destroy the chemical constituents that make the medicine effective.
Human Rights
There are serious human rights issues associated with buying some oils from other suppliers. Many oils are in such demand and are of such high value that people are hurt or even murdered over their production. Our supplier has gone to great lengths to ensure all oils sold are harm free for humans.
This may mean sourcing oils from places other than their ideal production site. For example: the best Sandalwood is grown in India. However, due to human rights issues involved with the harvest and production of Sandalwood in India, our supplier will only sell Sandalwood from Australia. This is very important to us as individuals and is in line with the Louisville Salt Cave core company values.
Usage
Proper and safe administration of Aromatherapy is done by inhalation or topical application. We do not condone orally consuming essential oils because it may not be safe. It is not clear what effects essential oils have on the liver from breaking down and processing these highly concentrated and chemically complex liquids. Secondly, consumption is not needed for your body to utilize the amazing and diverse benefits received via inhalation and skin absorption.
