If you are like me looking for an essential oil starter kit to start your aromatherapy journey but not knowing which brands and which kits are best for you as there are simply just too many choices on the market, this post is for you.
Well when I first started, the first question I asked myself was ” how am I going to use it? And why do I need it?” For me aromatherapy promotes a healthier and happier lifestyle as along my journey, I introduce essential oils to my beauty, cooking, household and fitness routine. And second consideration point of course is my wallet, ” how can I enjoy the benefits of essential oil without letting my wallet bleeds?”
In this post, I introduce you the 3 essential oil brands that I am using myself and give a comparison chart of this 3 brands by the price, the products, their reward points as well as their shipping costs they provide.
1. Essential Oil Starter Kits with or Without Diffuser
If you plan to integrate essential oil to your beauty and household routine, an essential oil starter kits without diffuser will be a good choice to start with. If youāre hoping to diffuse essential oils into the air around your home, you may want to look at a starter kit that includes the electronic diffuser.
Most aromatherapy starter kits include a few single oils along with some blends. This is quite handy as blends (also known as synergies) have been mixed by professionals to achieve a specific effect. For example, muscle relief or getting to sleep easier.
Having essential oil blends as part of your starter kit can be a nice way to get started with oils. You might not like the scent of just one particular single oil on its own. Or maybe you do ā and then those kits usually also include popular oils such as Lavender, Lemon and Peppermint. The advantage of having those synergy blends is you don’t need to buy every single oil to make your own blends and yet you can enjoy the benefits of the blends!

2. REWARD POINTS AND PROGRAMS
It is noteworthy to mention that there are some essential oil brands that reward customer loyalty with āfrequent flyerā type rewards points. In short, here are the online stores of a few of my favorite brands of essential oils that also execute a customer loyalty program for you to collect points:

3. fREE SHIPPING FOR YOUR ESSENTIAL OILS PURCHASES
A big factor in buying essential oils online is of course the question of the shipping cost. But, donāt be afraid of this as most online retailers will have a threshold of how much you need to spend to get free shipping. Sometimes, individual suppliers also offer a free shipping promotion for a limited period of time. So, just shop around and see what their offerings are for free shipping on your essential oil order. You might be surprised, and never pay a cent of shipping in the end at all!
