Buying poor quality oils or impure oils will actually cause pretty bad side effects. They lack the healing benefit that is present in high quality aromatherapy oils or might have very less healing benefits.

Below is a list of tips that might help you to choose the vendor who sells high quality aromatherapy and lavender oils.
Buying these oils over the internet is considered to be the best method. You need to send an email with the list of questions that you have about aromatherapy and lavender oils to various online vendors to find who properly replies you back. The sooner the vendor replies, the greater the customer service will be.

Do not buy essential oils from vendors who sell it in pure glass or plastic containers. A good vendor will sell it only in dark colored glass. However, if you buy them online, you will be sent them either in pure glass or plastic containers only and so you need to immediately transfer the content to dark colored glass container, if you plan to use them at a later stage. You can obviously store them in the plastic container itself, if you will be using it within the next few days. The online vendors follow this method of shipping the oil in plastic or clear glass containers, only for those who purchase the oil in large quantities in order to reduce the shipping fee and also to prevent breakage.

It will be good if you can ask the online vendor that how long they have been storing the oil in those plastic containers before they shipped it to you. Having some empty containers/bottles in hand will help you during such situations.
If you plan to buy these oils from the stores in your locale, you need to look at the top of the bottle or box. If there is dust present on top of it, it goes to prove that it has been kept for sale for a pretty long time period. The oil might have actually lost its therapeutic property in the meanwhile.

Most of the vendors have the habit of labeling both perfume oils and fragrance oils as Aromatherapy oils. You should never fall for these words. It actually denotes that it is not a single, pure essential oils.

Be careful to select a vendor when you plan to buy lavender oil and aromatherapy oils because some people might market their products as “aromatherapy grade” or “therapeutic grade". You need to bear in mind that there is no single regulating body that provides grades to these oils like the ones said above.

Essential oils are volatile in nature. The inhalational benefits from such volatile essential oils are immense. But the extraction of such oils must be done carefully in order to preserve this volatility nature. There are four major types of oil extraction methods: carbon dioxide extraction, distillation, expression and solvent extraction.

The first method is expression which is environment friendly. This is the simplest method of obtaining oil by pressing the plant material and forcing the oil within the material ooze out. This oil extracted is called as essence. These essence are highly volatile than other forms of oil extracted. The aroma therapist calls it as a top note in a blend. These evaporate quickly and are anti-oxidants.

The other method of extraction is solvent extracted. This method, as the name suggests, involves of treating the plant in a solvent that extracts the volatile parts. This is very costly. This method is usually followed for those plant products, such as rose petals, are delicate and cannot withstand heat or steam. The solvent bath is evaporated under high temperature resulting with a crystallized substance which is left over as a residue. The oil derived from such extraction method is known as Absolute. This oil is very costly as well as the process of extraction is also expensive.

The latest method of extraction is carbon dioxide extraction. This process is very similar to decaffeination of coffee. This process involves very low temperatures. Hence, this has not been a success so far as the oil produced is thick and will not smell or blend.

The most oldest and the most widely practised method of extraction is distillation. A perfect distillation process needs the following facts to be viewed properly: the plant material to be used, the soil in which the plants are grown, proper irrigation of plants during growing phase, proper distiller packing etc. The sound of steam has also to be monitored carefully. The seeds to be processed are to be thoroughly checked.

Be aware of adulteration in oils. Adulteration decreases the effectiveness, increases health hazards and decreases the quality of essential oils. Hence, after any extraction method, the composition of oil has to be assessed. Mass Spectrometer and Gas Chromatography are two methods for determining the composition of essential oils.
