This oil is Therapeutic Grade. Commercial Grade essential oils are usually made of the
left over plant materials after finishing the therapeutic distillation process.
The commercial
grade oils retain a robust fragrance suitable for soap making, candle making, as
well as cosmetic manufacturing. Unfortunately, because of the reduced active
therapeutic content, the commercial grade oils will not be suitable for aromatherapy or massage
therapy applications.
Silky Scents Essential Oils are all Pure and Therapeutic Grade, not
Commercial Grade. |

History:
Bay oil was very popular with the Romans,
who thought that the herb was symbolic of wisdom, peace and protection. The
Latin 'Laudis' means 'to praise", which is why the victors at the Olympic
games were presented with a laurel (bay) wreath.
In the past, bay leaves were distilled with
rum and the "bay-rum" so obtained was a famous hair tonic and body rub for
colds and muscle pains . |
