Pure, premium, therapeutic quality
Essential Oils
Past cultures valued few substances above nature’s essential oils. For at least the last 6,000 years,
they have been used not only for their scents and as beauty care products, but also for their
medicinal and curative properties. Those who are wise to essential oils have always considered
them sacred. According to the translation of ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Chinese
Manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years before the time
of Christ. They are mankind's first medicine. There are 188 references to essential oils in the
Bible. When the pharaoh Tutankhamun’s tomb was opened in 1922, the air was permeated with
their aroma.
Essential oils were very highly esteemed trade items and at places and times were even used as
money. Our modern society is just beginning to catch on to them. Like gold & silver, they are
real; not like pieces of paper that only represent something else.
Very few of the world’s plants produce essential oils - there are less than a couple hundred
aromatic essences that can be extracted from the flowers, trees, fruits, bark, grasses and/or seeds
from various plants, and all of these oils have distinctive therapeutic, psychological and
physiological properties that improve health and prevent illness.
All 3wisemenessentials essential oils are premium, therapeutic quality oils. They are free of any
pesticides or chemical residues and all are 100% pure and undiluted.

022 Wildcrafted, Organic Frankincense essential oil from

Oman
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) is one of the 'holy' oils from ancient times when it was
considered more valuable than gold. It been used for 5000 years for spiritual healing and was
used in ancient Egypt in the embalming process. Frankincense symbolizes divinity.
Upon first glance, the frankincense tree may seem rather unremarkable. It appears as a giant
shrub, with many knurled branches topped with abundant slender leaves and sometimes, small
white flowers. Native to northern Africa, it looks like it belongs in the desert, growing in some of
the world's harshest conditions. It is the sap of the that has such profound lore surrounding it.
When the tree's bark is pierced with a knife (known traditionally as a 'mingaf'), a milky-white
oleoresin is exuded - thought the tree is not harmed (myrrh is harvested this way as well). The
resin forms droplets known as 'tears' or 'pearls', which harden into the orangish, brownish gum
known as Frankincense. It has a powerful and enticing wood aroma that sweetly sparkles with
freshness and spice. Frankincense maintains its integrity in any blend.
It is an excellent oil for grief and is probably best known for its enduring emotional and spiritual
support. Often used in religious ceremonies Frankincense makes a wonderful anointing oil as it
is thought to possess powers to heal almost every conceivable malady. It is the quintessential oil
for letting go and enhancing meditation practice, having the power to uplift human awareness to
a higher level by freeing the nerves from excessive tension, allowing us to focus on the
underlying transcendental unity of our inner Self.

024 Organic Ginger essential oil from Madagascar

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) was one of the first products to travel the “spice route” from Asia to
Europe, where both the Greeks and Romans made extensive use of it. Romans took advantage of
its aphrodisiac powers and added it to wine, while Hawaiians scented their clothing. In Senegal,
West Africa, the women make belts with the rhizome, in the hope of arousing their partner’s
sexual interest.
Ginger essential oil may be added to almost any massage blend and it is noted to assist other
essential oils in reaching their target organs.

026 Organic Helichrysum angustifolium essential oil
027 Wild, Organic Helichrysum italicum essential oil from
Croatia
The generic name helichrysum derives from the Greek helios (sun) and chrysos (gold), as the
flower heads resemble little golden suns. There are about 500 species of helichrysum, of which
only a few produce essential oil for distillation.
The two varieties considered the best for therapeutic use are Helichrysum italica and
Helichrysum angustifolium. The shrubby plants are almost identical, except in size, the former
growing to a height of 60cm and the Italian variety reaching just 30cm.
Along with frankincense, myrrh, spikenard, and rose, helichrysum is ranked with the most
ancient and valuable healing substances in the world. Helichrysum is one of the most important
essential oils in aromatherapy because of its profound and wideranging healing properties, and
because it works well in combination with many other essential oils; enabling the other oils to be
even more effective than they would be by themselves.
Helichrysum is more anti-inflammatory than German Chamomile, more tissue regenerating than
Lavender, more cicatrisant (helping the formation of scar tissue and preventing scarring) than
Frankincense. It heals physical and emotional scarring, opens the heart, connects body and spirit,
and opens human beings to spiritual life. Helichrysum oil is also known as Everlasting Oil or
Immortelle.
The essential oil of helichrysum is captured by steam distillation of the flowering tops. The yield
is very low relative to other essential oil plants and this of course is reflected in a relatively high
value and price.

030 Eco-ethical Jasmine Sambac Absolute precious oil from

India
Jasmine is the most masculine of all the floral oils, and since ancient times, it has been referred
to as the King of oils (Rose is the Queen).
An absolute is extracted from Jasmine flowers, as they are considered too delicate to process
through steam distillation. The advantage of the absolute is that the complete aroma of this
wonderful flower is preserved in the resultant oil. Jasmine sambac is most highly valued in
aromatherapy for its euphoric, sensual qualities.
In India, jasmine is associated with the Hindu god of love, Kama, who, like the Greek Eros and
the Roman Cupid, is represented with a bow, which has arrows tipped with jasmine blossoms, in
order to pierce the heart with desire. Along with hyacinth and rose, it also made a frequent
appearance in Sufi poetry as a symbol of love and spiritual longing. For centuries, women have
treasured it for its seductive, beautiful fragrance.
It takes 1,000 lbs. of carefully hand-picked blossoms to produce one pound of Jasmine Absolute
precious oil. Jasmine’s flowers open at twilight releasing its intriguing floral bouquet. The
blossoms are collected before sunrise, and handled with care to preserve their delicate scent.

032 Eco-ethical Lavender Extra essential oil from Bulgaria
The name “lavender” is derived from the Latin lavare, meaning, “to wash”. Known as one of the
seven polyvalents (effective against many toxins), which are applicable to many ailments.
Greeks and Romans perfumed their bathwater with lavender, burned lavender incense to appease
their wrathful gods, and believed the scent of lavender to be soothing even to untamed lions and
tigers.
It was in the middle of the last century that the term 'Aromatherapy' was coined by French
cosmetic chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse - Dr. Gattefosse discovered the healing properties of
Lavender oil when, after burning his hands in a laboratory accident, he submersed them in the
flower's essential oil. His amazingly speedy recovery prompted him to write his book
'Aromatherapy' in 1937.

039 Eco-ethical Melissa essential oil from Bulgaria

The word 'Melissa' is Greek for 'Honey Bee', Melissa having been planted near bee hives to
produce the most delicious honey. Melissa (or Lemon Balm) oil is considered one of the most
powerfully medicinal essential oils in all of aromatherapy, with a wonderfully pleasant sweet,
herbaceous aroma.
A great deal of oil sold as Melissa today is actually a blend including lemongrass and citronella
oils - 'true' Melissa oil has its own unique aroma and properties. Melissa's high cost is a result of
needing around 11,000 lbs. of plant material to produce 1 pound of essential oil. The resulting oil
from this sweet-smelling herb is a pale yellow liquid with a light, fresh lemony aroma. Melissa
oil offered at exceptionally low prices is likely to be adulterated in some way, and will not have
the medicinal properties of the true essential oil.
Melissa was one of the earliest medicinal herbs. Paracelsus called Melissa the 'elixir of life'. The
herb was associated particularly with nervous disorders, the heart, and emotions. Melissa was
used for anxiety, melancholy, and to strengthen and revive the vital spirit.
In Advanced Aromatherapy, Kurt Schnaubelt wrote "The way in which melissa oil combines an
excellent antiviral component with a soothing but pervasive sedative power is difficult to
imagine; it has to be experienced. In its complexity, power, and gentleness, melissa oil perfectly
illustrates how nature time after time works better than one-dimensional synthetic medicines."
Melissa is a strong antiviral – and at the same time, Melissa is very gentle on the emotions, and
can bring out this quality in a individual. Melissa oil is calming and uplifting, may relieve
headaches, and may help balance the emotions. It may help release emotional blocks and lead to
an improved outlook on life.

041 Wild, Organic Myrrh essential oil from Kenya
Myrrh essential oil (Commiphora myrrha) is produced from resin extracted from the Myrrh tree
(or shrub) found in the Middle East. The trunk of the Myrrh tree yields a natural oleoresin when
pierced, and the pale yellow liquid hardens into reddish-brown drops known as Myrrh (the tree
remains healthy after harvest). The oil is a pale yellow/amber oily liquid with a warm, sweet-
balsamic, slightly spicy-medicinal scent.
As an ancient 'esoteric' magical herb, Myrrh is said to bridge Heaven and Earth, strengthening
the connection between our crown and base chakras. This may allow the manifestation of dreams
into this earthly realm. As a 'Funeral' herb, Myrrh is said to ease grief and heal emotional
wounds, bringing peace and calm. It's extraction from the solitary tree in the desert represents
strength in harsh conditions. Not only was myrrh present at the birth of Christ – as one of the
Magi’s three gifts – but at his death as well. Myrrh is thought to have been one of the materials
used by the Queen of Sheba in her seduction of King Solomon.
Myrrh's first medicinal use was documented some 3700 years ago. Myrrh essential oil is highly
prized for it's healing and spiritual powers; the oil has one of the highest sesquiterpene contents -
a compound which can directly affect the hypothalamus, pituitary and amygdaline. Myrrh oil
alone, or in combination with sandalwood and frankincense can be used to anoint the 'third eye'
as a meditation or yoga aid. The aroma of Myrrh essential can be uplifting and assist in spiritual
opening - like frankincense oil, myrrh's effect on the central nervous system is a gentle and
calming one, able to instill a deep tranquility of the mind.

042 Select farmed Neroli essential oil from Tunisia

In common with rose and jasmine, neroli oil, Citrus aurantium amara, is a very precious oil and
almost a complete fragrance in itself. It forms the heart (along with bergamot, lavender, lemon,
petitgrain and rosemary) of one of the world’s most enduring perfumes, ‘Eau de Cologne’.
Named for a 17th century Italian princess (Anna Maria, Princess of Nerola, near Rome) who
wore the flower as a perfume, the prostitutes of Madrid also employed Neroli as a scent, so they
would be recognized by its aroma. The blossoms are worn as a bridal headdress and carried as a
bouquet, symbolizing purity and virginity.
Although neroli oil is produced in many countries, especially around the Mediteranean area, the
oils produced in France and Tunisia have always been considered to be the very finest and still
command the highest price.
Unlike much of its French counterpart, Tunisian bitter orange trees are not subjected to
agrochemicals and much of the neroli essential oil exported from Tunisia is produced from the
blossoms of trees grown by small growing co-operatives and families, rather than from large-
scale cultivation farms.
The essential oil is both a sedative and overall tonic to the nervous system. It can be beneficial
for most disorders of an emotional origin. The oil has been used to treat heart palpitations,
relieve insomnia and reduce nervousness. Neroli's calming effect can be experienced by deeply
inhaling the aroma, and rubbing a few drops on the solar plexus.
It takes 1,000 pounds of blossoms to make 1 pound of oil.

053 Select farmed Rose Otto essential oil from Bulgaria
Rose Otto (Rosa damascena) is the queen of roses, the queen of flowers and the queen of all
essential oils. Its fragrant blooms have long been prized as a symbol of love and beauty and it
holds a special place in the hearts of all who love aromatherapy and natural perfumery. There is
quite simply, no other essential oil quite like it in terms of fragrance and wealth of therapeutic
healing benefits. Even with her prohibitive price and the advent of organic synthesis, rose otto is
still the most widely used essential oil in perfumery.
Of the very few of the world’s 7,000 rose varieties that produce oils, the Bulgarian Damask
Rose, cultivated for over 300 years, is considered to be the most desirable. It is the predominant
anointing oil used in the coronation ceremony of British monarchs.
Thought to originate in Damascus, Rosa damascena, was brought to Southern France in the 14th
century by knights returning from the Crusades. Various strains of roses, including damask rose,
were cultivated and used in the ancient Greek, Roman, Asian, Egyptian, and Arab worlds. It is
mentioned by Homer in the Iliad. Avicenna, a Persian physician, was the first to produce rose
water in the 1st century CE. In 77 CE, Pliny the Elder recorded 32 different beneficial effects of
rose preparations. Damask rose preparations are used in Ayurveda, ancient and traditional Indian
medicine, for soothing various complaints.
The origin of the cultivated rose is believed to be the Gulf of Persia (now Iran) in the 10th
through 17th centuries. The first known rose oil distilleries existed in the year 1612 in Shiraz, the
famous city of poets and oriental culture. From here the rose industry spread into Arabia,
Mesopotamia, Palestine, Asia Minor (Anatolia) Greece, India, North Africa, and due to the
conquering Moors reached as far as Spain.
To this day, of all the places in the world where roses are cultivated, there are just a handful of
regions in two countries (Bulgaria & Turkey) that provide just the right conditions to grow this
incredible flower in large enough quantities to produce rose otto essential oil on a large scale.
Unique climactic and soil conditions make Bulgaria’s Valley of the Roses the finest rose oil
producing region in the world. It is also known as the Kazanlik Valley. Kazan is the Turkish
word for 'still', and Kazanlik literally means 'the place of stills'. The air humidity, cloudiness and
precipitation in May and June here contribute to the cultivation of roses that do not over produce
wax for protection from the rays of the sun, thus yielding the highest percentage of oil.
The harvesting season starts as soon as the flowers begin to open and continues until all the roses
have been gathered. In Bulgaria the blossoms are still collected by hand and are nipped just
below the calyx (the green, outer protective cover). Collection begins at sunrise when the oil
yield is at its highest, and is completed by 10am whilst the dew is still on the flowers. The
flowers are initially placed into baskets, and then transferred to sacks for transportation via horse
drawn carriages or the backs of donkeys to the distilleries.
It takes about 4,000 pounds of flowers to make 1 pound of rose oil; that’s approximately 60,000
roses to produce just 1 oz of Rose Oil (Rose Otto) or about 2-1/2 dozen roses to make just one
drop.
NOTE: Distilled Rose Otto at it's undiluted, 100% strength naturally crystallizes and congeals, in
fact these characteristics are indications of quality in the distilled product. It liquifies readily with
warmth of hands or warmer room temperatures.

057 Wildcrafted Sandalwood Tamil Nadu essential oil from Sri

Lanka
Sandalwood (Santalum album) has been coveted in India and Asia since the dawn of history. It is
mentioned in the oldest scriptures and the Vedas, which date back many thousands of years. The
heartwood of this tree is sought after for its marvelous, cedar-like scent. Even after cutting, the
wood will exude this pleasant odor for up to 60 years. In fact, sandalwood oil distilled from the
wood and seeds is used for cosmetics, medicines, perfumes and lubricants. Ancient civilizations
considered sandalwood a valuable commodity, along with gold, silver, amber and ivory.
Explorers such as Marco Poco returned to their homelands with fabulous tales of sandalwood,
teak, spices and jewels. So great was the demand for this valuable wood, especially for people of
great wealth and royalty, that King Solomon himself was a major factor in the extermination of
Lebanon's sandalwood forests centuries ago. In fact, there are no untouched sandalwood forest
left in the world today.
The divinely sweet aroma, a softly balsamic base-note, evokes the Earth element at its most
sensual yet deeply tranquil. Sandalwood Tamil Nadu is a very smooth sandalwood, best used for
its therapeutic, rather than strictly aromatic properties.
Sandalwood retains an important place in Ayurvedic, Tibetan, and traditional Chinese medicines.
The oil is high in sesquiterpenes, a class of compound which has been studied in Europe for its
stimulating of the pineal gland and the limbic region of the brain - the center of our emotions.
Clarifying and stilling to the mind, and refreshing to an overheated body, Sandalwood is thought
to reconnect one to the primordial state of being, diminishing the need to 'overthink'.
Sandalwood can instill a sense of inner unity, helping re-establish an acceptance of reality as it
is. Yogis believe it encourages a meditative state and enhances devotion to God.

062 Organic Tea Tree essential oil
Because the water-resistant “paperbark” is so easy to peel off the tree, Tea Tree (Melaleuca
alternifolia) was used extensively by the aboriginal peoples of Australia to make small canoes,
knife sheaths, and thatching for shelters. When cut down, the Tea Tree will quickly regrow from
the stump. The aborigines soaked the pungent leaves in hot water and taken them as a cure for
cold coughs, and headaches – or they were simply picked from the tree and chewed. It was
Captain Cook who called the plant Tea Tree and it was a valued bush remedy used by early
European settlers.
In World War II cutters and producers of tea tree were exempt from military service until enough
essential oil had been accumulated. It was issued to each soldier and sailor for them to treat
tropical infections and other problems of warfare, including wounds.

Ylang ylang essential oil is distilled from a small tree (Cananga odorata) which grows in
Indonesia, the Philippines, Madagascar and Reunion Islands. It means 'flowers of flowers' and
you can find pink, mauve and yellow flowered varieties. The best oil comes from the yellow
flowers, which are picked very early in the day, in early summer. The fragrant, pale yellow petals
are often strewn across the marriage bed as a symbol of love.
This sweet, heavy, distinctive fragrance is used widely in perfumes and cosmetics. Ylang ylang
oil's softer floral scent is often used in men's fragrances as an alternative to the sweeter and more
feminine rose.
Like the three major aphrodisiac oils (rose, neroli and jasmine), ylang ylang is beautifully
uplifting emotionally and relaxing. The calming effect of this oil may be the reason it is
considered an aphrodisiac as using it would lessen tensions or anxieties. It can help balance male
and female energies, reducing internal conflict between these seeming opposites. In this manner,
the aroma of the oil may positively influence sexual relationships, and help restore confidence.

*************************************************************************************
General Guidelines for safe use of essential oils

Be an experienced and knowledgeable user of essential oils and research all oils thoroughly
and/or consult with a skilled practitioner before any use.
Dilute all oils being used with a vegetable carrier oil. Skin test all essential oils before using
topically. Each person's body is different, so apply oils to a small area first. The inside of the arm
is good for this. The bottoms of the feet are two of the safest, most affective places to use
essential oils. Discontinue use or dilute further with vegetable oil if there is discomfort or skin
irritation.
Keep essential oils out of the reach of children. Treat them as you would any product with
therapeutic uses. Take special precaution with babies, pregnant women and anyone and everyone
with allergies, special conditions and needs.
Keep essential oils away from mucous membranes and the eye area and do not put into ears. Do
not handle contact lenses or rub eyes with essential oils on fingers. Know also that many of the
citrus oils and others may cause a rash or darker pigmentation if applied to skin exposed to direct
sunlight or UV rays within 3 to 4 days of use.
Keep bottles of essential oils tightly closed and store them in a cool location away from light. If
stored properly, essential oils will maintain their potency for many years.
