People ask the question: “What is the best essential oil?”
While this is not a bad question, it is a hard one to answer. The answer depends on what you want to use the essential oil for. No one oil is a panacea, though there are some that have more reported uses than others. Also, what is good for one person may not be suitable for all and conversely what worked for one person may not be as effective for another.
The best way to answer the question about the best essential oil is in broader terms. The best essential oils will not be the cheapest ones out there. Cheaper oils can mean larger batches, less oversight, and cheaper production methods. Production does matter. Source matters as well. A company that knows exactly where their raw product is coming from and visits its producers is not going to have the cheapest oils, but you can know that your product contains what it says it contains while retaining a high level of potency. So to find the best oils for you and your loved ones, look at the company’s practices from obtaining the raw product to the point that it is in the bottle, ready for use.
