a.how easy is it to produce for each of them chemically as compared being extracted from natural sources?
b.how effective the chemically produced ones for each of them compared to the ones extracted naturally(i.e the medicinal/therapeutic/healing qualities).
c.Are there any harmful effects using the chemically produced ones?
d. in the market ,if one does not know the origin of a particular oil, how likely are each of them to be produced chemically as compared it to be the naturally?
e. apart from laboratory tests, are there any other way of distinguishing between the two? (Chemistry,aromatherapy)
