I am very happy with my purchase of  Peppermint Essential Oil from New York Biology. I have really bad sinus issues from the time spring starts until winter comes.  I use Peppermint oil in a diffuser to help relieve my nasal passages.  It really helps me get a good night sleep, I don't have to deal with waking up from not being able to breath.  I also occassionally will put this in my bathroom when showering or bathing and let the steam and peppermint oil do it's job there.  Peppermint oil can also help with stomach aches, bad breath and does a great job with headaches.  I love trying to remedy issues with oils instead of putting a lot of medication in my system. This oil is 100%natural and it's not tested on animals.  It comes in a dark amber bottle to prolong the effectiveness.  I received this item in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.  
I really like lavender oil, it really help me relax.  I find that it is very calming and I really like the scent at well.  I use it in a diffuser, place drops of oil in a warm bath and my favorite way is to use it on my bedding.  I add a few drops to a spray bottle and spray my bedding and pillow with water a little bit before I go to sleep.  If you suffer from anxiety you can place a drop or two directly on your skin on in a necklace made for essential oil.   I have tried the necklaces, and I found that the scent tends to make me sleepy.  I have tried several kinds of lavender essential oils and this is  lavender oil by New York Biology is one of the better ones.  The scent smell just like lavender.  It comes in an amber colored bottle, the dark colored bottle keeps the oils better longer.  I received this item in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

Tea Tree Oil by New York Biology

I have been using tea tree oil for the last year or so. I have have dry scalp issues and dandruff shampoos really work as much as I need it to work. I started to use my regular dandruff shampoo and then add 4 or 5 drops of tea tree oil to the conditioner. I wash my hair, use my tea tree added conditioner then let it sit as I wash my body. The tea tree oil feels nice and tingly on my scalp. Tea tree oil can also be used as an antifungal, decongestant and also to help for acne. I am really happy with this tea tree oil by New York Biology. I like that it lists the percentage of Terpinen-4-ol (45%), which is the active ingredient in the melaleuca plant where tea tree come from. Also come in a dark amber colored bottle which keeps the oil from getting light and going bad. I received this item in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

Bulgarian Lavender Oil

I had the chance to try out this Bulgarian Lavender oil by First Botany. I do not believe that this is 100% pure lavender oil, it is very oily. When I did a test of a drop on a paper it left a oily residue.  It smells a little different than regular lavender but does smell good. It's very strong smelling, this being said a little will go a long way. I use this in my diffuser, and in a spray bottle for my bedding. It smells very nice, and works for what I need it to do. If you are looking for therapeutic quality oil this may not be what you are looking for. If you are looking for something to use in a diffuser for fragrances this is good. I received this item in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

Phytopia Anxiety and Stress Essential Oil

The older I have gotten it seems like stress and anxiety have gotten worse. I have tried prescription medication before and I have never liked side the side effects. I like to try natural ways to reduce stress, including exercise, getting adequate rest and recently I have been trying essential oils. I was always pessimistic about oils but I have been pleasantly surprised. I have tried a few stress relief oils and had good luck with them. I recently got Phytopia's Tranquility. The first thing I noticed when it came was that it came in a cute velvet bag. Yea, I'm a girl and the packaging makes a difference to me. It has a dropper style cap. The Oil smells really good. It is a blend of: Rose Oil, Vanilla, Geranium Oil, and Orange Oil. I use it mostly in my oil diffuser at bedtime but also occasionally get to use it in my bath and rub it on chest or wrists. I feel like it help me relax in the evenings. I'm not sure it's a big difference but enough that I use it more nights than I don't. I received this item in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.
