As health enthusiates everywhere jump excitedly and even a tad carelessly into the essential oils bandwagon, there seems to be a trail of disappointment left behind, especially for those who possess the ‘seen one, seen it all” attitude. There is no mistaking the amazing health potentials linked to the use of pure, authentic essential oils (EO), keeping in mind the key words to be stressed here: pure & authentic.
Essential oils are the volatile oils extracted from plant materials and they have been used for centuries throughout the ages as natural healing agents. Back in the day, it can be said that every product made or manufactured had an authenticity to it. It would have been of good quality and made with effort. Following modernization and mass production, the quality and authenticity of many of these products have been indiscrimitately compromised, essential oils included. Just Google search ‘essential oils’ and you’ll be greeted with literally dozens of brands. Which would a discerning user go for?
When quality and reputation speak for themselves.
If you’re shopping for essential oils, it’s important as a user to know what goes into the product you’re paying for, lest you won’t be throwing your money away. Just as crucial is the way it was made and what manufacturing standards were applied from the time the raw materials were picked right up to when it reached your hands. Very few brands can claim what the following name can in terms of quality and reputation.
Tisserand: The aromatherapy-based brand you can rely on.
From sourcing for raw material to blending and producing, one name in the essential oils market is synonymous to uncompromised quality and authenticity, and that is Tisserand. In the UK and across Europe, this long-standing brand is available in thousands of stores – from integrative medicine centres, herbalist shops, and yoga centers, to many fine retailers.
Tisserand uses only 100% natural pure essential oils, making it a precious purchase right to its last drop. The expertise and integrity that goes into each bottle of Tisserand essential oil allows users to go ahead and explore the possibilities of aromatherapy and its many benefits. Furthermore, the brand only works with responsible partners who meet its high ethical and quality standards.
What’s in a bottle of Tisserand Essential Oil?
Check any Tisserand Essential Oil label and you’ll find that it’s 100% pure organic, wild crafted or ethically harvested. If you’re wondering about the significance of these factors, read on and judge for yourselves why it’s so important to know these things.
Organic: Certified organic essential oils are derived from plants that have been grown without the use of man-made fertilisers, herbicides or pesticides. Instead, it uses ecosystem management methods to maintain the health of both plant and soil instead, guaranteeing there are no inputs such as genetic modification or irradiation. The benefits of organic agriculture include no pollution of the local air or groundwater and no synthetic chemicals in the plant or its essential oil, while maintaining the viability of the local environment. Note that these International standards are set by IFOAM (the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements), which also accredits many certifying bodies, for example the Soil Association or French Ecocert.
Wild Crafted – Some raw materials may not be cultivated, but instead, they are gathered from their wild habitat. These are labeled as wild crafted and although they are not considered organic, they are derived from their natural habitat where conditions are generally favourable to the health of the plant. Great care is also taken to ensure its sustainability.
Ethically Harvested – If a bottle of Tisserand EO is labeled ‘ethically harvested’, it means that it contains ingredients that were derived from a herb, shrub or tree that is consciously cultivated in its natural environment, whereby great care was taken to ensure the species grows in abundance and is not depleted. It is worth noting that species depletion is only rarely a problem with herbs (which mostly thrive in large quantities) but rather, tends to be more of an issue with slow-growing trees.
Let it be known that Tisserand does work together with smaller, more remote partners with similar ethical and quality standards as organic farm partners, but who some simply can’t afford to officiate matters. Hence, the brand always goes the extra mile for quality assurance with its Ethically Harvested and Wild Crafted products. What ends up in your hands are always the highest quality 100% natural pure essential oils that are brimming with powerful properties for the mind and body. The aim of the brand is to help improve everyone’s health, wellbeing and lifestyles through the art of aromatherapy.
