Lavender has been used for thousands of years. It's purple flowers release a soothing scent that aids in sleep and calming. It is a gentle oil you can add directly to the skin. Rub it into your kids feet at night or your own and put on a pair of cozy socks, drop it into your bath or add a couple drops to a shower wall. Diffuse it to add a calming element to your home or car. Put a few drops into your palms and hold close to your face to deeply inhale the aroma and soothe your whole system. Lavender is used to treat acne, burns and cuts, for lice prevention, treating the scalp for thinning hair, dry skin, wrinkles and dark circles. Organic pure lavender can even be used in baking and cocktails. Like any oil it is important to buy it pure and as locally sourced and organic as possible.
Another well recognized scent is Eucalyptus (Globulus) and our pure essential oil is certainly one of our bestsellers. Eucalyptus Oil is an inexpensive oil offering users many benefits.

You can diffuse it, inhale it, use it topically or even use it internally. Studies have shown it can boost brain function and is being studied for it's anti-cancer benefits as well.

When peppermint is blended with eucalyptus, like in our Breathe Synergy Oil Blend, it can also be a powerful breathing aid. To make your own blend - add 3 drops of each oil, plus either 3 drops of tea tree or rosemary to round off the blend. Apply one or two drops behind the ears and/or on the feet to open airways, ease coughs and soothe general congestion.
