In the last year or so I have been doing research on the use of essential oils and one of the names that kept coming up was Plant Therapy, so I decided to do some research on their products and they agreed to send me one of their oils to review.
Plant Therapy offers oils that are 100% pure, undiluted and of the highest quality.They buy their oils from top supplies around the world and also partner with one of the most well known, world renowned, essential oil experts.To guarantee quality each batch of oils are tested by a third party laboratory using GC/MS testing, as well as in house by their expert. They are dedicated to providing oils that are 100% pure,undiluted and free from any additives, chemicals or pesticides.
Now like myself when I first started learning about Essential Oils and they importance I had TONS of questions, well Planet Therapy’s Website has a FAQ section that explains everything in detail. I highly suggest reading it.
Essential Oils have MANY uses included:
Massages: Massage is one of the most beneficial methods of using essential oils because it combines the therapeutic powers of the essential oil with the benefits of touch therapy.
Inhalation: Inhalation is one of the quickest ways to experience the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. This method is highly beneficial for helping respiratory ailments. Persons with asthma or epilepsy should avoid inhaling essential oil.
Baths: Adding essential oils to a hot, soothing bath can create a relaxing and therapeutic experience.
Essential Oil Diffuser: Diffusers and Aromatherapy go hand-in-hand. Adding essential oils to a diffuser effectively introduces the therapeutic properties and fragrance to any environment.

Review:
I use this oil both on my skin(often behind my ear or under my nose) as well as in my essential oil diffuser. Its a strong scent but not overpowering and is INCREDIBLY relaxing. I have had the bottle since January and I still have plenty of left and I use it in my diffuser 2-3 times a week. While the bottle says there is a possibility of skin irritation I have no experienced any and I have sensitive skin. I am incredibly impressed with the affordability of their oils and the quality.
They have a HUGE selection of oils, carrier oils,synergies and more!
lavender is one of my favorite essential oils
