Stay Connected to AromaWeb’s Latest Content!

New on AromaWeb!

For over 25 years, AromaWeb has been a trusted resource for essential oil and aromatherapy education. Around 15 years ago, I created AromaTalk as a way to highlight new content on AromaWeb and share broader plant-based topics of interest.

As AromaWeb has continued to evolve and expand, my focus has remained on developing in-depth, high-quality content directly on AromaWeb.

This has meant that updates to AromaTalk have become much less frequent, but rest assured — I remain as active as ever on AromaWeb!

To stay up to date with all of AromaWeb’s latest content including the newest aromatherapy guides, essential oil profiles, recipes and book reviews, I invite you to visit the New on AromaWeb section of AromaWeb. It’s regularly updated with the newest additions, making it easy to explore fresh insights and resources.

Thank you for your continued support of AromaWeb and AromaTalk!

I appreciate you being a part of this journey and hope you’ll continue to find inspiration and valuable information through the content that I write and resources I share.

Warmly,
Wendy Robbins
Founder, AromaWeb

Sustainability Risks and Conservation of Essential Oil Bearing Plants

Conservation and Sustainability of Essential Oil Bearing Plants

It takes a HUGE amount of plant material to produce essential oils. For example, it takes all of the petals from 30-50 roses to produce a single drop of Rose Otto Essential Oil. [Source: Andrea Butje, The Heart of Aromatherapy (Carlsbad, CA: Hay House, Inc., 2017), 6.]

We cannot assume that the essential oils that we have easy and reasonably affordable access to today will be available to us indefinitely if we do not each play our part in responsible usage, conservation and sustainability efforts.

It is so important for us all to do our best to use essential oils sensibly and spend time learning about which essential oil bearing plants are endangered or are at-risk.
