You want to feel safe, assured, and at peace with your buying choices. After all, you are going to bring these products into your home, and use them for yourself and your family.
So what about "therapeutic grade essential oils"?
In my latest article, I've taken a look at this terminology, and hope to help you understand what it means to you as a consumer.
Please let me know what you think in the comments section!! ๐๐๐
What You Should Know About Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils What does it mean when an oil is advertised as 'therapeutic grade essential oil'? A guide to the quality standards and factors involved.
๐ What makes a good gift set? I think that gift sets are a little bit different than starter kits.
When gifting essential oils, a few things are important:
โ๏ธ Brand quality, always!
โ๏ธ Packaging
โ๏ธ Unique oils or products
Iโll explain:
๐ If you want to make a lasting good impression, itโs important that you choose ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐พ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ผ๐ถ๐น๐. That sort of goes without saying.

๐ข Here's something totally new!
Tinctures are concentrated liquid extracts that you can DRINK!
Think of it as the essence of a plant, captured and concentrated in liquid form.
๐ค Now you're probably wondering, why are you telling me this?
Because to me, the health benefits of herbs are undeniable.
๐ For years, I've been taking Echinaccea capsules when I feel a cold or flu coming on. I cook with Turmeric spice to fight inflammation in the body. I drink Chamomile tea to relax the body & soul at night... the list goes on.
And of course, I use essential oils. But I don't ingest essential oils.
So now... I'm so excited that I can drink powerful herbs like
Echinacea, Elderberry or Ashwagandha in so many new ways!
Plant Therapy's NEW herbal tinctures come in a handy dropper bottle. Add to your favorite beverage, smoothie, tea, lemonade, you name it... and drink up!
๐ฟ ๐ฃ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ & ๐ก๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น: Plant Therapy tinctures are made by soaking
organic plant material in organic cane alcohol and water for a few weeks, then filtering to leave behind a pure, powerful plant extract.
โ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐: Just a couple of dropperfuls are packed with the herb's therapeutic compounds to help you feel your best.
๐ฆ Now when my package of tinctures arrived, it included a cute recipe book with lots of ideas on how to use my new tinctures.
Adding a dropperful to tea seemed like a no-brainer to me, and I did it right away.
But there is also a recipe using club soda, cooled green tea, and ice cubes (๐ yum!!).
Plant Thearpy has conveniently published these awesome recipes on their blog, too (๐hooray!!).

Brisk mornings, beautiful colors, I love everything fall. It is no surprise that creating fall diffuser blends is among my favorite things to do! ๐

Choose "Energize" for an extra morning pick-me-up, or "Relaxation" for that evening unwind feeling.

๐คง Germ Fighting Blends ๐
On my quest to fight germs this fall, I certainly had to stock-up on Plant Therapy's () Germ Fighter blend, including the Germ Destroyer variation for kid-safe use. ๐
These are super easy to throw in your diffuser when anyone in your house has a sniffle coming on. I also make DIY bath salts with the Germ Destroyer blend, or dilute a few drops in carrier oil and rub it onto the soles of my children's feet if they feel a sniffle coming on.

I worry more about germs and bacteria during colder months. ๐ฆ We're just all inside so much more!
Now that the kids are back in school, and the temperatures slowly creep lower overnight, it's never too early to think about cold & flu season.
Personally, I use germ-fighting essential oils to help keep our inside spaces clean and sparkly โจ, and our immune systems strong and resilient.
The first thing I ordered at Plant Therapy () was their Multi-Surface cleaning concentrate, complete with glass bottle and a 2-pack (of the concentrate) for easy refills. ๐ This should last me all season, if not beyond. At just $18.99, this bundle is well worth it, as you can refill the spray bottle as many times as you wish!
Not only does this clean tough messes, it also smells lovely and is just delightful to use. ๐
I feel that this proactive approach to cleanliness creates a pleasant environment, and offers peace of mind, knowing I'm doing all I can.
