Appalachian Valley Natural Products Orange Sweet US Essential Oil Review

I had a few lemons and limes and wanted a citrus that was sweet, so decided to go for an un pretentious orange essential oil. AVAT has two to choose from: US and Italy. The US one was cheaper by a little bit, so I decided to go with that one. I feel somewhat limited by the essential oils that I buy since the majority of the ones that I have are safe for kids. I debated getting some that weren't safe and finally decided to go ahead and buy them. I figured I could either diffuse them at night while I was working on the other side of the house and the kids were sleeping or use them in a body butter.  In order to get free shipping from AVAT, you need to spend $35, so I added a few things that were not safe for kids. Shipping was going to be about $10. I'd rather pay to get stuff than pay for shipping.

Essential Oil Safety: Dilution, Kids, Pets, and More

There is a lot of information out there when it comes to essential oils. You should get your information from certified clinical aromatherapists or people with scientific backgrounds that work with essential oils. They should be unbiased. This means don't get your info from MLM reps. Below are some great resources. I would always look at information from at least two sources.

Appalachian Valley Natural Products Oregano Vulgare Essential Oil Review

Fall and winter are coming and that means colds and flu. I know that different remedies start popping up around now and one of them is oregano oil. Don't confuse this essential oil with oil of oregano, which is already diluted with a carrier oil. I know that some people take this internally. I would not recommend this unless recommended to do so by a certified clinical aromatherapist (MLM sellers usually aren't certified!). I was told that oregano oil is the next best thing since sliced bread and can help kids get over sicknesses quickly. I hemmed and hawed for a while and finally got it. To be perfect honest, I *really* can't stand the scent and I'm glad I got the 10ml bottle instead of a bigger bottle.

My Thoughts on Florihana

I had never heard of Florihana until I joined some non-MLM essential oil Facebook groups. Once I heard that they were from France and had been in business for a while, I didn't even both looking at their website. I figured their products would be way too expensive. Their name kept on popping up and people said they offered free FedEx shipping from France on orders $100 and up. Spending $100 at once on essential oils and hydrosols was out of my budget. However, I then found out that Tropical Traditions aka Healthy Traditions is an approved dealer for Florihana essential oils (you can email Florihana to confirm) and they offer free shipping with orders of $39 or more. They also offer free shipping once a month (so stalk their FB page), with $20 being the minimum order. And. . . they'll offer you free ground shipping on your first order with the discount code of FS10. I figured I could buy $39 worth of essential oils or find some other products to add to my cart to get free sh...
