Nut oils for aromatherapy – can I use them for cooking?

Question by : Nut oils for aromatherapy – can I use them for cooking?
I’m looking for alternative vegetable oils for cooking and salad dressings but most are quite expensive. I’ve seen cold-pressed nut oils on Amazon and eBay at a fraction of the price when included in the aromatherapy category. Would these oils be any different from the ones packaged as cooking oils? They are advertised as ‘pure’, so I’m wondering if there’s a difference.
