Essential oils are highly concentrated plant essences. The ingestion of essential oils is not recommended without prior advice from your health care practitioner. Dilute in a carrier or base when necessary.
Standardised essential oils are produced to achieve a standard scent, whereas a single species essential oil may vary in scent because it is an individual plant species that can naturally vary with season, rainfall, soil quality, geography and a variety of other factors. Standardising the scent by combining multiple species is a method of producing an oil that will always be similar in quality. Standardised oils can therefore be quite beneficial when scent reliability is required.
Standardised essential oils are pure essential oils which have not been diluted, filled or altered in any way. The only differentiating factor between standardised essential oils and others is that multiple variations of plant species are distilled. -

Essential oils and the Chakras
For the Throat Chakra (Vishudha), choose essential oils that balance the emotions and improve communication & self-expression. When your emotions are in balance you are more able to accept your limitations, thus promoting spiritual patience. Any of the camomile oils German, Roman or Cape will suit this purpose. Peppermint and/or eucalyptus are helpful for clearing sinuses and thereby clearing communication channels.
