What We Recommend
Always use therapeutic grade essential oil, which is undiluted and unadultured. Essential oil is absorbed into the body and in the blood within 30 seconds. The lavender in your favorite drug store lotion is a perfume that has been stripped from the essential oil and does not have the above benefits. Therefore, you want essential oils made from the finest ingredients produced from a company with integrity, like Butterfly Express (to learn more about them, read this post).
