We love doTERRA’s CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade) Lavender Essential Oil in our home. If you have any Essential Oils at all, there’s a pretty great chance that one of your oils if Lavender. Lavender is a powerful oil, it’s also known as poor man’s Frankincense because it’s such a versatile oil. It’s a MUST for your natural cabinet of remedies.

Lavender has been used and cherished for centuries for its unmistakable aroma and myriad benefits.

I recommend only one brand of essential oils. Please do not use these tips if you are going to go out and buy the cheapest brands that you can find.

When it comes to essential oils, you get what you pay for. There’s hardly any regulation on the essential oil market so you have to do your due diligence when purchasing oils.

After research, I fell on doTERRA. DoTERRA holds themself to the highest purity and safety standards on the market. Plus, they hold themselves to fair trade and sustainability practices.
