Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The last 6 months or so, I have been doing extensive research on essential oils, the different companies that produce and sell them, and the effectiveness of each. doTERRA is by far the most effective brand that I have found thus far. Before I was "sold" on the validity of oils, I bought a mid-range brand to test it. I read on several forums and websites that using lavender oil before bedtime helps you sleep better. I was on a prescribed sleep aid at the time and wanted to get off of it, so I tried rubbing the Lavender (mid-range brand) on my feet before bedtime. It worked so-so, but it was nothing special. I didn't feel much of a difference. After hours upon hours of researching things for myself, I decided that doTERRA oils seemed to be the most potent, most 'pure', etc., and decided to test it out. I bought a bottle of their lavender oil and tried the oil-on-the-feet trick again. Holy cow. It knocked me out! Not the extent that I was unable to wake up (as it was with my prescribed stuff), but within 10-20 minutes of putting it on, I started to feel sleepy, fell asleep, and slept soundly through the night. When my alarm went off in the morning, I awoke feeling rested and ready to go (rather than drowsy and lethargic with the sleep med). It was fantastic. To top it off, I had also read in several places that Lavender oil is a natural antiseptic and can be used in place of stuff like Neosporin. When I tried it with the mid-range brand, I didn't feel like there was any difference. I began to wonder if lavender really did work for cuts and scrapes. But then I got the doTERRA Lavender and tried it and it actually formed some weird milky looking protection thing over my cut once it dried. It healed fully the next day. doTERRA may be on the more expensive side of oils, but there is a reason for it, and it is worth every penny. If you want an oil that actually does what it's supposed to, get this... seriously.
