Whether you’ve been attacked by hungry mosquitoes during a camping trip, or are looking for a natural way to lower your blood pressure, tea tree oil is a time-tested, natural alternative to harsh chemicals and man-made medications. Our 100% pure organic tea tree oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the Malaleuca alternifolia, a native Australian tea tree that has been utilized by indigenous Aborigines for centuries. In ancient Australia, the crushed leaves of the tea tree were inhaled as a cold and cough remedy. The Bundjalung people steeped the leaves in a pungent liquid before applying it to infected skin areas, or using it as an elixir for everything from sore throats to open wounds (1). The oil that was later developed by Arthur Penfold contained 98 compounds or pure healing power. Tea tree oil makes it all better – from the common cold to that pesky infection that just won’t seem to heal. With its fresh, invigorating scent, you’ll feel like you’ve woken up on a crisp, cool morning in the middle of a forest, where the pine trees stoically surround you in protective, preventative embrace. Tea tree oil has anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties, and is “A therapeutic agent in chronic gingivitis and periodontitis, conditions that have both bacterial and inflammatory components.” Tea tree is very high in natural anti-inflammatory agents and contains the plant-chemicals cineol and propanol, both kinds of natural chemicals that can decrease gingivitis and reduce plaque. Tea tree also helps stop the approach of bacteria and is very astringent and antiseptic. In a scientific dental study, a genuine distillation of tea tree oil (2.5%) proved effective in the treatment of chronic of gingivitis and inflammation. High in natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial constituents of 1.8 –cineol, terpinen-4-ol, tea tree essential oil decreased the level of gingival teeth and reduced plaque scores in the study. Furthermore, the study showed that a total of 162 oral bacteria isolates (including streptococcus) were inhibited and rapidly destroyed by tea tree oil concentrations of less than 2%. The study concluded, “The components of Tea Tree Oil are known to have lipophilic properties which facilitate its diffusion through the epithelium. If Tea Tree Oil is readily absorbed after topical application into the gingival tissues and has anti-inflammatory properties once it has entered the connective tissues, it would be a unique non-toxic agent.” The Healthy Gum Drops formula contains more than 2% of this astringent and antiseptic essence. Eliminate endless trips to the drugstore with one bottle of our exquisitely pure, natural organic Tea Tree oil. “Teatree! Thou soft, thou sober, sage, and venerable liquid, thou smile-smoothing, heart- opening, wink-tipping cordial, to whose glorious insipidity I owe the happiest moment of my life, let me fall prostrate thus, and ... adore thee.”– Colley Cibber, 17th century “Tea tree oil has been used in Australia by its native people, who introduced it to the Western world via Captain Cook in 1770. This is one oil that most definitely will get lots of use in your medicine chest and should positively be part of the home first-aid kit.” - Jeanne Rose, The Aromatherapy Book: Inhalations and Applications Traditional, mental, physical, emotional benefits:Improved respiration and sense of well-being when added to one’s bathCures skin conditions like cuts, scrapes, corns, chicken pox, and athlete’s footPain reliever and fever reducerPowerful against infections including sinusitis and vaginitis 1.

Rub a generous amount of our lavender oil over sore muscles or sunburned skin, or apply to the chest to open the airways and enhance breath flow. The use of lavender as a massage oil dates back to Ancient Egypt. Kings were buried with jars filled with lavender, while queens doused themselves in the perfume of the spiky plant. The Ancient Greeks anointed their feet and breasts with lavender oil, so the intoxicating scent would heal body, mind and heart. Lords and ladies of the Medieval English court cured the migraines of nobility with a drop of lavender in their tea, and the French have been fighting infections with lavender oil since the 16th century. Doctors in Germany have incorporated lavender into anti-anxiety medications (1), but you do not need a prescription. A few drops of lavender oil in a steaming hot bath will whisk you away to Cloud Nine faster than you can say “Ahhhhh.” “There's a few things I've learned in life: always throw salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for good luck, and fall in love whenever you can.”– Practical Magic “…over 1,200 components have been identified in Lavender essential oil.

Review(s) Skin rescue - soothing, healing relief As for skin applications, I've used this on blemishes and it heals and smoothes things out overnight, great for scar tissue and inflammation.

This has saved my sensitive skin from the sun many times, especially from one 2nd degree sunburn years ago that lasted 3 weeks, it was the only solution that remedied my skin and pain.

Quick Overview Our Jasmine Sambac essence is the perfect perfume with deep, long-lasting floral notes that emit the quintessential enchanting euphoric.Botanical Name: Jasminum Sambac Extraction Method: AbsolutePart of Plant Distilled: Flower, hand-picked and distilled at dawnCountry of Origin: IndiaCultivation Method: WildScent Description: warming, exotic, deep-floral, rich, and long-lasting  In Libations Products: Lavish Abundance Petal Perfume, Lavish Abundance Best Skin Ever, Night Flight to Venus and Lei Lady Lei PerfumesBlends Well With: Cinnamon, Ylang, Sandalwood, Bergamot, Blood Orange, Grapefruit, Patchouli, Black Pepper, Neroli, Tuberose, Carnation, Clary Sage, Rose, and VanillaUses: Jasmines’ sensual scent “releases inhibition, liberates imagination and develops exhilarating playfulness” (Lavabre, M., Aromatherapy Workbook 1990, p.69). Since ancient times, Jasmine has been a vital ingredient to aphrodisiac oils and pure perfumes. The aphrodisiac-aroma of this night-blooming floral opens the heart and penetrates the soul of a person. “Jasmine stimulates the brain to release “encephaline”, a neurotransmitter which acts as an analgesic and promotes a sense of well-being and even euphoria” (Lawless, J., Aromatherapy and the Mind 1994, p.165). This reviving euphoric is the perfect perfume; a drop, or two neat or diluted with jojoba and applied to the pulse points and hair is exquisite and will enchant any day.

Exquisite  I have wanted to try this oil for four years. I finally worked up the courage to buy it! It smells just like the flower, but richer. Some other Jasmine oils smell funny to me. This is exquisite. I mix with Jojoba oil and massage into my skin. The aroma "opens up" the longer you wear it and releases all of the complexities of this beautiful flower. Beyond Words! I have carried my bottle of Jasmine Sambac Attar with me everywhere since it arrived with me. It is beyond words beautiful and I can't be without it. Just holding the bottle shifts my energy and when I smell it, I am transported and lifted into states of beauty, bliss and joy. Wearing it makes me feel More of Who I Am. Thank you for such vibrational, healing and divine medicinal fragrance as this! Worth the Price! I only hesitated a bit before purchasing this (because my cart was filled with so many other things - lol). I ended up adding it to my order. My favorite scent is jasmine and I'm so glad I bought this. If you are not in love with yourself, you will be when you're wearing a dab of this. It's precious, beautiful, and perfect. It's worth the price for sure. XOXO

Living Libations essential oils are top quality!!! Bites, bumps, bruises begone! I always, always have it in my kit for quick relief. Also, one drop is a perfect mouth freshener when on the run! Clean fresh quality peppermint I believe peppermint is a great oil to have on hand, I keep one in my purse. Living Libations quality far surpasses that of other popular 'therapeutic' grade essential oils, in our own blind test - this tasted real, fresh and clean revealing a chemical-process taste in the other company's oil. happy I also always have it with me: -oral refreshment -on the forehead to get clear in my mind -what ever needs attention: moskito bites, cuts... Peppermint and I are best friends! Divine Your Peppermint is absolutely so divine, it smells like a syrup, so rich & real, it’s almost unbelievable!!! Again, I have to say... Love the Peppermint, what a difference to the cheap brand that I had!!!! Great for small burns I recently burnt myself with my curling iron. I put a dab of the Peppermint oil on the burn which instantly soothed it and I continued to put a dab on daily. The burn is healing nicely and doesn't look like it will scar. Wonderful product! :) This smells and taste wonderful! -like an extract or concentrated peppermint syrup. One of my favourite ways to use is straight after bed to wake me up and make me feel energized in the mornings. It's a New World All I can say is that I now know what real peppermint is. the BEST peppermint oil… EVER I kid not when I say it is very important to get good quality peppermint oil. Though in my experience it is actually pretty difficult to find a “bad” peppermint oil, but I surely do have a favourite. Find this beautiful steam distilled oil here at Living Libations. I feel the vibrations off of this oil like no other I have ever used, it is a real spiritual experience for me. I have come to the conclusion that no one on this planet makes more sublime essential oils than Nadine from Living Libations. You do have to experience it to believe it, but trust me when I say you will be a dedicated follower shortly after you take a sniff. Incredible! I love using a drop of peppermint essential oil as a breath freshener in my purse. It has many other uses, too! Just now I put it over my forehead because I had a slight sinus headache and its cooling effect melted the pain away! Thank you Nadine for all of your incredible essential oils and products. I am having so much fun trying new oils thanks to your wisdom:)

In the traditional Ayurvedic system, pepper is a vital ingredient of many remedies. It works as a digestive stimulant, as food enter the large intestine channels it warms the body and drives the food downward while dispelling phlegm and relieving diarrhea. Internally, it treats fevers, gastric and abdominal disorders, and urinary problems. It can be applied externally to aid reumatism, neuralgia, and boils. It is a favorite among those with active lifestyles because it has energizing properties. Ussage To relieve the pain of stomach aches, diarrhea and gas, take 1–2 drops of black pepper oil internally by adding it to a soup, smoothie or savory dish. To aid respiratory conditions, take internally or inhale the oil directly from the bottle. To help detoxify the body, take 1–2 drops internally or apply 2–3 drops topically to the bottoms of the feet. Safety Always test for skin sensitivity prior to widespread use and use on the feet when possible. Black pepper essential oil can be a strong irritant in high doses, so dilution with a carrier oil (like coconut or hemp oil) is recommended for topical use. Excessive use of any oil can lead to skin sensitization. Keep out of eyes, ears, or nose. Pepper may cause sneezing. Patients who have undergone abdominal surgery should not add excessive pepper to their diet because it can have an irritating effect on the intestines. Black pepper should not be taken in high concentration, and if you see signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue its use and consult a doctor.Not all oils are created equal, so test brands carefully, and never use an oil in a way not recommended. Our oil is therapeutic grade, however we do not recommend any oils be used internally unless on the advice of a medical professional.
