a generous potent bottle of lavender essential oil [SEP] this is my first foray into essential oils and i am liking it a lot i am using the oil in two ways for aroma and in theory for its physiological properties i like diffusers a lot but am too cheap and suspicious of additives to buy them often i have been using this lavender oil along with some safflower oil and rubbing alcohol in my bedroom and it adds a nice luxurious touch to bedtime i have sprinkled a bit on my body pillow too when i feel like i want a much stronger dose of the relaxationi read somewhere that mixing it with a carrier oil i am using rosehip oil and rubbing it on the bottom of your feet can help with insomnia so i have been doing that i do not know if it is working but it is making my feet feel softer so that is something i have not experienced any respiratory or skin irritation with this productthe bottle is a dark brown color so that the light cannot get to the oil and break it down they sent a dropper along with the oil which i appreciated since i did not have others next i am going to try to make some kind of reusable sachet for my drawers i just need to figure out what scent to mix it with firsti was fortunate to receive this product at a free or discounted rate in exchange for my honest review i am always conscious and aware of the number of items and possessions i bring into my home and try to make mindful decisions because the life changing magic of tidying up told me to for this reason i only accept items that i feel will serve me my family and my needs i do not accept items that seem useless or that do not speak to me if i post a positive review it is because i had a positive experience if i have only positive experiences i chalk that up to a successful exercise in mindful purchasing and decision making if i have a negative experience as with any amazon product i reach out to the seller or manufacturer and seek assistance or replacement before deciding on a rating
