Essential Oil Monographs

By Martin Watt

This information resource has been ten years in the making. It is probably the most accurate collection of properties of the 57 Essential Oils ever published. As with Plant Aromatics, I collated every piece of information of direct relevance to the subject that I could lay my hands on.
 
I have attempted to weed-out the information of less relevance to aromatherapists. In particular you will not find a lot of information where therapeutic uses or safety of an oil have been based entirely on their chemical composition. Some chemicals are mentioned, but only where sound references could be found on their relevance. As I am a qualified herbalist, this helped me to differentiate between the therapeutic claims made in aromatherapy books based entirely on herbal extracts, or on the essential oils from the same plant.
 
For people in the medical profession a particularly useful feature is a micro-organisms cross-referencing system. This allows a particular organism to be found in an A-Z index - the reference to the oil affecting that organism can then be found in the monographs.
 
The information provided in the monographs is sufficient to produce advanced Material Safety Data Sheets as it includes CAS numbers, flash points and C.H.I.P. recommendations.
 
The pages are packed with information, mainly in 12 point single spaced format. Some oils may only be 3 pages long because I could not find sound therapeutic information on them. Others such as Rosemary are 15 pages and almost a book in themselves.
 
The database provides the following information:

  • Botanical name - clarified where this is misleading or unclear.
  • Main countries of origin.
  • Part the oil is extracted from and how.
  • Description of the oil.
  • Average composition of the oil.
  • Some habit and growth information.
  • Health and Safety Data-referenced and in detail.
  • Regulatory status.
  • European CHIP regulation recommendations.
  • Historical uses.
  • Medicinal Activity (referenced) including: Olfactory-Antibacterial-Antifungal, etc.
  • Suggested uses: Based on references given and on recognised traditional uses.
  • Under a separate heading is information more suitable for the medical profession.
