All essential oils are freshly imported from USA weekly and there are 100% guaranteed fresh. Plant Therapy’s standards of quality are some of the strictest in the industry. Before selling an essential oil we do everything possible to establish that it is 100% pure, natural and of the highest quality, making it appropriate for use in aromatherapy. To ensure that each oil meets these strict standards, Plant Therapy works directly with world renowned essential oil expert, Robert Tisserand, and several analytical laboratories. Uses: Massage - This is the use of essential oils during a body massage. Pure essential oils are about 70 times more concentrated than the whole plant. For massaged, dilution are typically 2%-10%. Baths - Mix with a fatty substance such as a carrier oil, milk or with castile soap first and then add into bath water. The carrier oil or castile soap protects your skin, and helps the essential oils disperse through the bath water. Diffuse - Diffusers and Nebulisers produces a particle size small enough for the lungs and body to absorb them rapidly. It is absolutely the best way to provide both aroma and therapeutic healing value with essential oils.
