One of the most common questions I get in the clinic...

Are dry needling and acupuncture the same thing? Can you treat pain with dry needling? Who can perform dry needling and should you have it done?

Let's review essential oil adulteration!

There is no proven “hack” to tell if an oil is adulterated from home. Without specific lab testing, even a chemist won’t know if an oil is adulterated until they see the results. Lab tests analyze the individual components of oils to determine whether they are pure or not.

Dr. Prabodh Satyal breaks adulteration down into 5 degrees. The easiest way to adulterate an oil is by dilution with a carrier oil, the first degree. The most difficult adulteration, the fifth degree, is to adulterate using similar essential oils. Since these oils are all natural, it becomes difficult to determine where a constituent originated from.
