Why Choose Organic?

In the same way that we have witnessed an explosion of interest in organic food, we are on the threshold of a similar demand for organic quality in essential oils.

This is fantastic news for users of aromatherapy oils, since the energy and aroma of these oils, and the benefits that they bring, depends on their purity.

Oshadhi is at the forefront of this change, offering an exceptional collection of plant oils: exceptional in their range and exceptional in their purity. We offer 450 different essential oils, 70% of which are either certified organic, or are wild crafted.

Using chemicals in therapeutic plant farming goes against the very purpose of committing oneself to nature and health. However organic quality has been hard to obtain for a number of reasons. Producing pure organic essential oils requires more time and involves greater risks, so it is usually only practised by relatively few small family enterprises.

Furthermore, in the organic process, slow distillation at lower temperatures ensures the maximum retention of active components in the essential oil which contribute to its special aromatic and therapeutic effect. If an essential oil is distilled too quickly (high pressure, high temperature), many of these precious elements are lost.

There are some countries where it is simply not possible to obtain certified organic essential oils because appropriate monitoring organisations do not exist. In these cases we supply the wild grown and traditional essential oils which, although not certified, to all intents and purposes may be considered to be on a level with organic quality.

We are sure you will enjoy this collection, which is already the best selling quality essential oil in the USA and Japan.
