Known by many as an excellent addition to blends for occasional muscle and joint soreness, Plai essential oil is a relative of ginger but doesn't have the "heat factor" that ginger does. If you want the heat, it may be wise to mix the two. It's one of the oils we use in our infamous Powerhouse Salve, Super Salve, and Ache Away Extreme — and no doubt a big part of the reason those are all loved.
It may be an excellent addition blends for minor scrapes as well.
The scent is not one of my favorites. This oil is one that I use for its abilities, not for its beautiful aroma (hint: it's not beautiful. Not disgusting like Valerian, but not something I'd diffuse alone). I think it's one of those oils that you only want in blends for topical use or personal inhaler blends (as it could be helpful to irritable nasal passages).
With our pre-diluted oils . . . if diluted for kids is the highest dilution you see, it’s also the max dilution possible. Pre-diluted oils are in fractionated coconut oil.

Oral Safety is only given because many people have been told to take oils internally. Because several people look to us for safety advice, we feel obligated to offer those safety statements, although we do not believe anyone should be ingesting essential oils without being guided by an expert. Experts will take your medical history into account before they suggest oils for you to ingest, diffuse, or use topically.
