Choosing the right essential oil is necessary because some might not suit you or you can have side effects too.

First check is that of purity. Find an oil that contains only aromatic plant compounds, without additives or synthetic oils. Pure oils usually list the plant’s botanical name (such as Lavandula officinalis) rather than terms like “essential oil of lavender.”

Then the quality check. True essential oils are the ones that have been changed the least by the extraction process. Choose a chemical-free essential oil that has been extracted through distillation or mechanical cold pressing.

See reputation! Purchase a brand with a reputation for producing high-quality products.
