Why is it Important to Buy Pure Essential Oils?

Many companies are selling perfumed oils calling them "natural oils" some of which contain chemical compounds to create a scent; unless they are pure cold pressed or steam distilled essential oils there is no therapeutic value from them. Always purchase your oils from a reputable company.
