I was lucky enough to get to try some Plant Therapy's wonderful, high quality, dark patchouli oil. It smells fantastic, with an immediate earthy scent and a bit of musk. I love it, it smells delicious and I put it in diffuser locket right away. It's excellent for anxiety and for small cuts and scrapes. You should all go check out plant therapy right now. Their prices are beyond reasonable and their oils therapeutic. They are by far one of the best oil sites put there.
They also have a line of products that are safe to use with childen. We swear by Calming the Child. #Wildboy is very active and seems to have inherited my insomnia, so it's really difficult for us both to sleep. We use CtC on him and a special blend for me (vetiver, ylang ylang, patchouli, frankincense and roman chamomile). It helps, but sometimes we just wake up at 0500 and it's too dark to find out oils. Like right now! Lol
Anyway, Plant Therapy comes with a shining recommendation from me. You get fast answers from their customer service and they are VERY devoted to helping their customers. Even if you're new to oils, there's something there for you. A carrier oil (under accessories) or something like oregano that you could use to spice up your cooking would be great things for beginners to try. Just don't put oregano oil on your skin undiluted, please! Another good starter oil is lavender, which you can blend with a nice carrier like Sweet Almond Oil and that's perfect for putting on your skin!
I also cant say enough about their diffuser lockets. Best. Invention. Ever. I put an oil in it and it usually diffuses all day and part of the night. Right now, i have patchouli and clove bud oil in mine right now. I need to find my son's so I can put it on a cord he cant break. He snapped both chains within five minutes, like most 4 year olds are prone to do. But now he thinks I "stole" his locket, because we have the same kind. #wildfamilybonding
