Profile

Achillea millefolium is an elegant, fast growing perennial poised on a single stem. It has feathery-like leaves, and a ball of flowers sitting atop. Yarrow Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops. When fresh, the Essential Oil from Yarrow is a rich blue in color. This color is due to the presence of chamazulene – which contains an anti-inflammatory agent called azulene. Yarrow Essential Oil has a sharp, somewhat camphor-like aroma. 

FACT: Yarrow has a rich and long history in herbal medicine. It has been said to address a wide variety of common complaints and disorders, including fever, respiratory infections, digestive problems, nervous tension and applying it to sores, rashes and wounds.  In China, it has been used for menstrual problems and hemorrhoids, whilst in Norway, it has been used for rheumatism.

AUROMA QUALITY

AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:

  1. BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
  2. CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
  3. GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
  4. COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
  5. WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of ils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
  6. ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.
