What's the difference between essential oils and oils that you burn for fragrance if you use them for burning?

I wish to buy fragrant oil for burning in my house. Is there any difference between the two in terms of therapeutic effects or others if I am concerned only with burning them? By the way, I am intending to buy them from The Body Shop. Please give me some advice. Thanks!What's the difference between essential oils and oils that you burn for fragrance if you use them for burning?
Well, actually, while it's true that essential oils come from plants and fragrance oils are synthetic creations, it's NOT true that essential oils are all safe. Clove, cinnamon and peppermint are 3 very well documented skin irritants. And work with Ylang Ylang enough and you might find yourself with one killer of a headache.





And it's also not true that essential oils come DIRECTLY from plants, either. Eucalyptus, for example, goes through a couple of different steps before it's able to be used. (That's why eucalyptus oil smells only faintly like the tree from which it's made.)





And for the record, even essential oils are nothing but chemicals. ;-)





In my opinion, ANY scent can influence your mood. Obviously, if you enjoy a scent or have pleasant memories attached to one, you're more likely to relax and enjoy your downtime. But, I also find that essential oils don't have the solvent-smell of synthetic oils. After working with natural oils for so long, I find that I can't stand the smell of potpourri oils anymore. They smell horribly fake to me. I hope that helps you make a decision.What's the difference between essential oils and oils that you burn for fragrance if you use them for burning?
Essential oils are released from plant material using steam distillation. They are used therapeutically by inhalation and topical application. Each essential oil has it's own therapeutic properties. Please don't 'burn' essential oils. They are ruined and wasted when treated with severe heat.


Fragrance oils are manufactured composites of chemicals. There are no therapeutic uses for artificial scents. There are many brands with their own recommended method of use. Just follow those guidelines.


Although The Body Shop does carry a line of products that contains pure essential oils, I am suspicious of the 'burning' as a mode of use.
Essential oils come directly from plants and flowers and they are completly safe and very useful for the skin, auromatherapy and cooking.





Fragrant oils are toxic and man made. They are essentially just chemicals.

Check out this company. The owner prides herself in only using the most high quality, naturally extracted essential oils.





By the way, The Body Shop (now owned by Estee Lauder Co.) does not use natural oils.
