About this ebook
Chemistry is the science of aromatherapy. This brief explanation of the organic building blocks of essential oils is meant to be a helpful reference guide for having a basic understanding about the chemical make up of essential oils. All of life is made of three elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These three molecules are the components of every essential oil. Based on their individual chemical makeup these three elements of essential oils can be divided into 12 Chemical families. These 12 chemical families tell us about the therapeutic properties, actions and effects of essential oils. You can select essential oils based on their specific therapeutic chemical properties, actions and effects to formulate aromatherapy blends for healing specific conditions.
In this quick reference guide you'll learn several of the specific properties, actions and effects of each of the twelve (12) chemical families, their archetypal pattern (typical area of use in aromatherapy) and alchemical or elemental power (primary or basic nature), along with a list of some of the most common single pure essential oils in each family.
"Chemistry Essential Oils Quick Reference Guide," serves as a helpful aid for selecting essential oils to use as healing tools. You can also use this Quick Reference Guide for blending ideas and information on the healing properties for each chemical family. Any cautions for each chemical family are also noted.
I highly recommend this to all who are interested in holistic curing and the way that aromatherapy can be applied as an effective Mind Body technique.

CHEMISTRY OF ESSENTIAL OILS - 12 Chemical Families
Chemistry is the science of aromatherapy. This brief explanation of the organic building blocks of essential oils is meant to be a helpful reference guide for having a basic understanding about the chemical make-up of essential oils.
Includes common aroma compounds found in each class and characteristic aromas, as well as research.
All of life is made of three elements Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These three molecules are the components of every essential oil.
Based on their individual chemical makeup these three elements of essential oils can be divided into chemical families. These chemical families tell us about the therapeutic properties, actions and effects of essential oils. Using the language of archetypes to describe each of the chemical families can make it more fun and easier to remember all of the families.
Based on their distinguishing qualities, each chemical family can be divided into 12 Archetypes and their characteristic Elemental Powers. These 12 archetypes, and their chemical families, tell us about the therapeutic properties, actions and effects of essential oils.
You can select essential oils based on their specific archetype and therapeutic chemical properties, actions and effects to formulate aromatherapy blends for healing specific conditions.
Using Aromatherapy Archetypes can help you with applying the chemistry of essential oils in your practice. It can be especially useful when working with and blending oils.
PLEASE NOTE: An essential oil can be classed in more than one chemical family, based upon the percentage of a chemical component in an essential oil.
In this quick reference guide to the twelve (12) chemical families - alcohol, aldehyde, ester, ether, ketone, lactone, monoterpene, monoterpenol, oxide, phenol, sesequiterpene, sesquiterpenol - you’ll learn:
Several of the specific properties, actions and effects of each of the chemical families.
Archetypal pattern (typical area of use in aromatherapy).
Alchemical or elemental power (primary or basic nature).
List of some of the most common single pure essential oils in each family.
General safety cautions for each class.
Research on each class.
