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. 

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 to three (3) chemical families (aldehydes, ketones & lactones), you'll learn several of the specific properties, actions and effects of each of the 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.
