taking the guesswork out of using essential oils

Through our partnership with the non-profit
organization Trees for the Future, Mother E is
committed to planting one tree for every bottle
of Mother E essential oils purchased and ten
trees for every Mother E c ollection.

Access the Power of Nature with Mother E
Essential Oils
• Strong towering trees that provide shade and
air for us to breathe,
• Intricate root system of plants that feed the
healthful fruits and vegetables we eat,
• Powerful fragrances that attract pollinators, so
radiant flowers can continue to flourish.
It takes an infinite amount of energy to maintain
this abundant earth that sustains us, but it all begins
with the essential nature of plants. Every aspect of
a plant’s existence—from fragrance and color to
leaf pattern and fruit—helps it to survive, heal and
reproduce.
It is this same energy—or “quintessence” as Aris-
totle called it—that provides the healing, beneficial
properties of essential oils in our everyday lives.
To understand the healing power of essential oils, all we have to do is turn to Mother Nature.
Take a moment and think about the:

Essential oils are chemically quite complex,
with the average number of chemical components
in each essential oil being about 100. One of the
common fallacies about essential oils, is that they
should have an oily texture to them. This is false;
pure essential oils, while oil soluble, in general, do
not feel oily. This becomes an important point
when evaluating the purity of essential oils (more
on that in a minute!).
Essential oils are also highly concentrated; it takes
a great deal of work to produce a tiny amount of
essential oil. For example, to produce one ounce
of rose oil, you need approximately 60,000 rose
blossoms. Hence, the high price of rose essential
oil! Another high-priced oil, jasmine, takes 8 million
hand-picked jasmine blossoms for 2.2 pounds of
oil. Lavender, a more affordable oil, requires 220
pounds of lavender flowers to produce 7 pounds
of oils. Because of these differences in what it
takes to yield specific essential oils, you can under-
stand the wide price variations between oils!
There are about 300 different essential oils in
general use today by professional practitioners,
but in all practicality, most benefits that essential
oils fulfill could be achieved with 10-12 essential oils.
One of the ways that Mother E simplifies your es-
sential oil use (not to mention saves you money!) is
that we offer a small functional line of essential oils,
with 12 single oils and 12 essential oil blends. Our
selection of oils was carefully chosen to cover the
main benefits that essential oils provide - so you
don’t have to get a phD in essential oil use!
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds
and volatile liquids extracted from the seeds, roots,
bark, stems, leaves, flowers, resins, and other parts
of plants. Essential oils are extracted from plants
most commonly by steam distillation. They can also
be expressed mechanically or cold-pressed; for
example, citrus oils are extracted or cold-pressed
from citrus peels. With inherent antiseptic,
anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-depressant,
analgesic, deodorizing, stimulating, diuretic and an-
tifungal properties, essential oils have been known
and used throughout time to promote homeostasis
in the human body. The Egyptians, Romans, May-
ans, Greeks and all other ancient cultures used
essential oils for health and healing.
“The way to health is to have an
aromatic bath and scented massage every day.”
-Hippocrates, the father of medicine

The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy defines aromatherapy (also
known as “essential oil therapy”) as the art and science of utilizing naturally
extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote
the health of body, mind and spirit.
What is Aromatherapy?

Quality in essential oils.
Essential oils on the market vary widely in qual-
ity, so it’s important to know what you are getting.
Interestingly, up to 98 percent of essential oils are
used in the perfume, household or food industries,
and in these cases, purity may not be as import-
ant. However, if you are using essential oils thera-
peutically (in other words to support your physical,
mental and emotional well-being), purity is critical.
What does “purity” mean anyway?
The truth is that there is no real certification or
classification for “purity” in essential oils. And, to
confuse matters, some companies have jumped
on the bandwagon of using the term “therapeutic
grade” to get at the quality and purity of essen-
tial oils. This definition was developed in the 1990’s
as a marketing term and, bottomline, there is no
such thing as a “therapeutic grade” essential oil vs.
“non-therapeutic”essential oil. No quality standards
for the authentication of essential oils specifically
exist in aromatherapy.
“The quality and authenticity of essential oils we utilize are the
very heart and foundation of aromatherapy.” -Jade Herbalist
That said, many essential oils on the market are
adulterated. For example, some essential oil compa-
nies want their lavender to smell more “lavendery”
so they add a synthetic version of a compound
naturally found in Lavender to the essential oil.
Also, many companies dilute with a base or carrier
oil, and present it as pure-- to increase their profit
margins. While it is often recommended to blend a
pure essential oil with a base or carrier oil when you
apply topically, it is important to know what is in the
product you are getting!

A question that often comes up with respect to
essential oil quality and purity is, “is it organic?”
“Organic” simply means grown without chemical
pesticides or fertilizers, and no GMO’s (gentical-
ly modified organisms). And generally speaking,
organic is a good thing. However, “organic certifi-
cation” is tricky. Many countries that grow essential
oils do not have organic certification in place, and
even if they do, it is very costly.
Furthermore, GC/MS testing (gas chromatogra-
phy mass spectronomy) can be done to ensure
that the chemical composition of the essential oil is
what it should be. In other words, free from foreign
chemicals, additives and residues.
The bottomline regarding “organic” is that it does
not guarantee the quality, purity, and potency
of essential oils. In addition, essential oils can be
grown organically and not be “certified organic”.
And, because it takes so much of a plant to yield
a relatively small amount of essential oil, “certified
organic” is much more costly to produce.
Mother E’s highest priority is to provide pure, quality
oils as affordably as possible. We’ll never compro-
mise quality and we’ll always tell you what’s in our
products!
While our products are not “certified organic”, our
rigorous supplier standards and third party testing
ensure the quality and purity of every one of our
oils. Every batch of our oils goes through GC/MS
testing, as well as physical tests for odor, refractive
index, specific gravity, optical rotation and closed
cup flashpoint. And while variation is always pres-
ent when working with natural products, Mother
E essential oils must meet within the range of our
high standards or they will not be approved. Plain
and simple.
Upon request, we are happy to provide a Certifi-
cate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet for each
single oil and blend we produce.
Mother E’s Commitment to Quality

While essential oils are natural and beneficial in
many ways, they can be very potent. Remember
that a little goes a long way.
Please Note the following precautions when using
Mother E essential oils.
What are the precautions when using
essential oil?
• As with any natural therapy, always check
with your doctor before using. Some essential
oils should be avoided by children and preg-
nant or breastfeeding women.
• Do a patch test by placing 1 to 2 drops on
your arm (or a small area on upholstery/fur-
niture), then observe for 24 hours. If your skin
(or upholstery/furniture) is sensitive to an oil, it
will become irritated (or begin to stain). If this
happens, don’t use that oil.
• Some oils can cause a phototoxic reaction
on skin that looks like a sunburn. Check the oil
label and, when applicable, avoid sunlight or UV
rays for up to 12 hours after applying product.
• If in doubt, dilute with Mother E FCO.
• When first starting to use your Mother E Es-
sential Oils, use only one drop and slowly work
your way up to more.
