bulgarian lavender eo?

If you order from the same ladies I do, they might add it to a buy

they're running or about to run if they know someone's in dire need.

Feel free to contact me offlist if I can help.

Would you mind sharing the name of the co-op you buy from? You can send me the

info privately if you'd like. Thanks. Lin

Soaper Supplies has Bulgarian Lavender. I have an empty bottle of it sitting

here as a reminder to order more. Since I am not on their site, do not know if

they have triple distilled peppermint. hth, Elmira

Thought some of you may find this of interest. It comes from someone

who has spent well over 30 years in the extraction trade. He knows as

much on this subject as anyone, certainly far more than any

aromatherapy suppliers.

Hi Martin,

 

Lavender Oil is not triple distilled and there is no point to such a

thing.

 

Peppermint is:

 

1) Steam distilled to remove it from the plant

 

2) Fractionally distilled under high vacuum to remove the front end

terpenes

 

3) Fractionally distilled under vacuum to remove the back end

sesquiterpenes.

 

This is so called " triple distilled " and the only reason is for

flavour and fragrance work where excellent solubility is demanded. It

is a negative aspect for aromatherapy as the oil is missing some of

its " therapeutic characteristics " .

 

Lavender oil could only be separated into its individual components by

such treatment and the only reason for this would be to remove

eucalyptol and camphor from lavandin oils to pass off what is left as

lavender oils.

 

As you say - a load of bull.

 

Regards,

Arthur.

No one said the Lavender was triple-distilled, just the Peppermint.

Having a Peppermint EO with the terpenes removed works well for skin

care products, as the terpenes can make the skin photosensitive.

However, I can see where it would make a difference in aromatherapy.

 

The Lavender we're discussing is a simple Bulgarian

Lavender--distilled only once.

 

HTH,

Serra

Please confirm where you got that information as I have no evidence

that peppermint is a photosensitiser. Also which terpenes out of

thousands?
