Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I selected this Best Blends Set of 6 100% Pure, Best Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil - 6/10mL (Aromatherapy Kit - I paid $18.99) to use with my new Apriller 300ml Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser & Cool Mist Humidifier with LED Night Light. In my opinion, they work very well together. I have only opened 3 of the six bottles so far: Breathe, Muscle Relief, and Stress Relief. I like them all and have already used each in my diffuser. These are the first aroma therapy blends I have ever purchased, so have nothing to compare them with. After reading previous reviews on this product, however, I would like to say the following: In my opinion, they will be more than adequate and effective for use in a aromatherapy diffuser, cool mist humidifier. I feel they work very well and a reasonable time after plunging in my unit, can enjoy the calming aroma which begins to fill the room quite nicely (an open concept modest -sized combo living room/dining/kitchen in an apartment. Some reviewers stated that they had to add 10 to 20 or more drops in order to smell the aroma. That is not my experience; adding 3, 4, or up to 5 drops is adequate. Another reviewer stated that after running her unit with one of the blends added to her water reservoir, she developed a bad headache and had to turn the unit off. THAT WAS BECAUSE SHE ADDED TOO MUCH OF THE ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND IN THE UNIT'S RESERVOIR. I know, because the same thing happend to me, after thinking "a little works good ... perhaps more will work even better. Not so! Too much is overkill, and can give you a headache or cause your eyes to sting - depending upon which blend you use. Does this mean that Healing Solutions oil blends are substandard, not pure, or at fault? No! It means that too much oil has been added. Empty out your diffuser reservoir according to the unit's instructions; rinse it out, wipe it, and then refill it with water and add fewer drops of the oil (3, 4, or 5 drops). To me, the price was reasonable, and the quality of the product good and fragrance of the blends very pleasing. Would I purchase this product again? You bet! So, why did I give the Healing Solutions Best Blends Set 4 stars as opposed to 5? Although it was neatly and attractively packaged and came swathed in bubble wrap; although the perforated safety seal/rims (at the base of the caps) were all still intact (meaning the bottles were unopened) - some of the caps were nevertheless not screwed on completely tight (from the assembly line during manufacturing/filling of the bottles). Although I did not feel wetness or see signs of leaking - one bottle was not as completely filled as the others were, and the scent of the oil blend was very noticeable - very strong! - even before I lifted the cover of the box to view the bottles. I can understand why some consumers commented that there was leakage from the bottles. I felt fortunate that mine were not ruined and tightened the cap of each bottle straight away. PROS Reasonably priced Pleasing scent combinations Adequately and attractively packaged Works well with my small sized aroma therapy diffuser CONS All the bottle caps were not screwed on tightly; the scent of the oils was very strong after removing the layers of bubble wrap, even before opening the box lid. Product leakage is a risk. Just the recommended 2 or 3 drops might not be enough for most users; I use between 3 and 5 (BUT in the upwards of 10 or more drops some commenters say they use is overkill and can cause headache or stinging eyes, depending upon the blend being used. However, this would be an issue with any name brand of essential oils, not just Healing Solutions.) JANUARY 26 UPDATE: I use my diffuser with these oils daily, and enjoy the oil blends even more now than I did at first. My favorite is the nighttime one (heaven in a bottle, and I set the diffuser bedside to enjoy through the night!), but all the blends nice and serve a purpose. MAY 18, 2016 UPDATE: still enjoying my essential oils from Best Blends. Just 3 or 4 or so drops fills the surrounding air with therapeutic scent that enhances a relaxed, calm atmosphere. Will be buying more again, as hubby now uses a diffuser in his office at work. NOTE: I paid full price for my Best Blends Set of 6 100% Pure Essential Oils; I did not receive them for free or at a discounted price in exchange for an evaluation. So, why did I take the time to write such a detailed review? Because I, like you, depend upon the comments and experiences of other consumers when making an Amazon purchasing decision.
