Hi Tracy,

 

> Well that is a first I have ever heard that.

 

I am so happy to have been able to give you new (correct) information.

That is one of the reasons for this list. ;-)

Sorry bout that .. there are MANY companies offering distilled citrus ..

it has been so for all the years I have been in this business. There

are people on this list offering them. You are looking in the wrong

places methinks.

CP oils .. not Essential Oils. Same goes for Absolutes.

Yep .. I can tell. But I am not surprised. Just this week I had to

explain to a very well known writer/researcher/aromatherapist/doctor

that what he was calling Chemotype was in fact, Type .. that there were

no Chemotypes in the particular species he was referring to. Say the

wrong thing long enough (especially if folks think you have all the

answers) and it becomes doctrine .. incorrect doctrine it is ..

misinformation it is.

 

And the reasons are the same as those I had in my original post:

 

> We have no chiseled in stone standards in AT and the terminology is

> in the AT/EO industry.

 

A turtle is not a terrapin .. a tomato is not a vegetable .. bananas do

not grow on trees, and this and that .. but folks often call them as

being so. I suppose there is no real problem with all of these

inaccuracies .. unless we are taking a test. ;-) There is far more

incorrect information in this industry than correct information .. that

is why we have lists like this .. and I reckon this applies to life in

general.
