Set September 21, 2026 · for the year ahead
Some things can only be made in the month they grow.
NATURAL ORGANICS, INC. presses botanical oils to a calendar rather than to a forecast. A plant is ready when it is ready; press it early for the sake of a stock level and you get a thinner oil that no amount of marketing repairs.
That is the whole argument of this business, and it is why this page is a calendar rather than a catalogue. What we can offer in March is not what we can offer in September, and we would rather say so than keep a permanent shelf stocked with last year's pressing relabelled.

What this house does, in five lines
- Presses and bottles the Pressed Leaf range on its own premises.
- Buys whole plant material from named growers, never pre-pressed oil from a broker.
- Dates every bottle by pressing, not by the day it was labelled.
- Sells out of a pressing rather than topping it up from another.
- Takes goods back for 45 days, opened or not.
The year
What is pressed, and when
Twelve months, the work each one holds, and the honest gaps. Four of these months produce nothing at all, and we have never found a way to say that which sounds better than simply saying it.
Cold storage audit
Every remaining lot is re-tested for oxidation before it is offered for another month.
Nothing pressed
Equipment is stripped and rebuilt. Orders ship from what is in store.
Early leaf
First cutting of the perennial leaf crops, pressed within a day of arriving.
Early leaf continues
The best month of the year for leaf. Most of the annual volume is made now.
Flower, first pass
Short season, small yield, and the one material we never have enough of.
Flower, second pass
Only in a cool year. In a hot one this month is skipped and we say so.
Nothing pressed
Too hot to work the oils without cooling we are not prepared to pretend we have.
Nothing pressed
Same reason. The building is given over to bottling what was made in spring.
Seed
The heavy season. Seed crops arrive from the growers listed on the sourcing page.
Seed continues
Pressing runs daily. Lots from this month carry the longest shelf life of the year.
Root
Slow, low-yield work. Roots are washed, dried and pressed over several weeks.
Nothing pressed
Paperwork, retention samples and the following year's grower contracts.
The harvest calendar page carries the same year in more detail, with the yields, the shelf lives and what to expect if you order in a month when nothing is being made.
Dating
Why every bottle carries a pressing date
An oil begins to change the moment it leaves the press. Heat, light and air all take their turn at it, and none of that is visible through the glass. A date of manufacture tells you when somebody filled a bottle; a pressing date tells you how old the thing inside actually is.
Those two dates can be a year apart in this industry, entirely legally. We print both, and we print the oxidation figure the lot tested at when it was released, so you can see the starting point rather than infer it.
None of this makes our oil better than somebody else's. It makes it checkable, which is a different and smaller claim, and the only one we are in a position to make.
| Mark | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Pressing date | When the oil was made, not when it was bottled. |
| Bottling date | When it went into this glass. Usually later, sometimes much later. |
| Lot | Ties the bottle to the grower, the month and the release tests. |
| Oxidation at release | The figure the lot tested at before it was offered for sale. |
| Best before | Counted from pressing, not from bottling. |
Limits
What we will not say about any of it
Everything in the Pressed Leaf range is a dietary supplement. In United States law that means it is not a drug, and this house will not write about it as if it were. We do not claim that anything we press:
- diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents any disease or condition;
- can stand in for a prescribed medicine or for a clinician's judgement;
- works within a stated number of days, or to a stated degree;
- is clinically proven, when what exists is one small study;
- is safe taken alongside your prescriptions, which only your own clinician can weigh.
Required notice
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Put the question to a qualified healthcare professional before you begin, above all if you take prescription medication, are managing a condition, or are pregnant or nursing. Nothing here is intended for anyone under 18.
If any wording on this site reads to you like a health claim, write to contact@naturalhealingoils.com and name the page. We treat it as a fault and put it right.
Optional
A text when a pressing is ready
Because the calendar has gaps, most people who want a particular oil want to know the week it exists. That is the entire purpose of this list, and it is optional in every sense.
- Marketing messages only. A pressing is ready, a season has opened, occasionally an offer. Nothing else.
- Order paperwork never goes by text. Confirmations, dispatch notices and tracking all reach you by email.
- Up to 3 messages per month; frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
- US mobile numbers, 18 or over. A landline cannot be added, nor a number held outside the United States.
- Send STOP in reply and they end. Send HELP and you get our details. The removal form does the same.
- The number stays here. No mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
- Not a condition of any purchase. See the Privacy notice and the Conditions of sale.
Letters we get
Questions that come in by post and by email
Why is the thing I want unavailable half the year?
Because it is only made in the months the plant allows, and when a pressing is gone it is gone. We could keep it listed and quietly ship you something older, which is what a permanent shelf usually means. We would rather show you an empty month.
Is anything here on a subscription?
No. Every order is a single purchase, no card is kept for later, and there is nothing to cancel afterwards. Given that half the calendar is empty, an automatic monthly shipment would be a promise we could not keep anyway.
Are the texts my order updates?
No, and the distinction matters. The text list is marketing only: a pressing is ready, a season has opened. Confirmations, dispatch notices and tracking always arrive by email and are never sent by text. Joining is optional, separate from buying, and undone at any time by sending STOP.
What becomes of my number?
It sits on your record so we know who asked and when. It is not offered for sale, not rented and not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Send STOP, or use the removal form, and it is marked off.
Can you advise me on what to use?
No. We can tell you what was pressed, when, from whose crop and what it tested at. Whether it suits you is a question for your own clinician, who knows the rest of your circumstances and we do not.
What if a bottle arrives damaged?
Ours to fix. Write to contact@naturalhealingoils.com saying what happened and we replace it at our cost, return carriage included. The ordinary return window is 45 days from delivery, opened or not.
