Plant Therapy Lavender Essential Oil 100% Pure, Undiluted, Aromatherapy Diffuser for Relaxation and Body Care, Healthy Skin and Hair, 10 mL

I have heard for many years about how beneficial it is using essential oils to help with restless nights and relieving anxiety but was never inclined to try any until I became a mom. About two years ago I was a sleep deprived mom to a boy who has anxiety every night going to bed in his own room. We tried everything to relieve his anxiety. Slept with him, played music in the room while he slept, gave him warm bath before bed, gave him glass of warm milk before bed. Nothing kept him asleep throughout the night. He would wake up crying every night almost every two hours, like a newborn. It was miserable. My husband would trade off with me every other night so I could get some sleep. A friend (doterra independent consultant) gave me a bottle of lavender scented oil to place in a diffuser and told me to use in his nightly bath. A few drops in the bath was plenty. I was skeptical at first but I was desperate and willing to try anything. On the first night we tried in his bath and placed diffuser in his room. We read before bed per usual and he fell asleep. I fell asleep with him. When I woke up to use the bathroom 5 hours later my son was still asleep!! Hallelujah!! He actually slept 10 hours straight that first night! I had bought doterra several times but when I found Plant Therapy I switched because I had heard it was similar to doterra but less expensive. I tried it and it's really is just like Doterra but less expensive and still helps my son sleep and feel less anxious about sleeping in his own room! I love my Plant Therapy Lavender. It is an essential in my household.

This lavender oil has a wonderful scent which, to me, smells fresh, "rounded," and genuine -- not artificial, sharp, or "soap-y." I have several uses for this scent, although it could be used for all sorts of things. First, we live in a dry climate, so we run our humidifier all the time. Lavender is said to be both antibacterial and antiviral. So, we add some to our humidifier to help remove germs from the air and surfaces in our home. Further, we find it very relaxing and soothing, so that's nice, especially toward bedtime. Second, I add it to my bath to help relax, too.Finally, we have a few cats, who love to lounge on a black bean-bag couch-thing in our kids' rec room, but we don't really like them to do that since it can get a lot of cat hair on it. So, we just drip a few drops of this lavender oil, on and around the bean bag, and it smells great and stays clean; cats don't like lavender, especially when it's as concentrated as this. I love that it's all natural essential oil, no chemicals or anything like that,
