I diffuse during the day in the family room and during the night in the bedrooms. Truthfully I usually use NOW no oils in the diffuser rather than my more costly Young Living Oils. But I buy from several different reputable places. There are many different lavenders...Lavandula Angustifolia is the mildest. You can also dilute lavender with a carrier oil, which will cut down on the fragrance somewhat. Either a 1:1 ratio up to a 1:4 ratio (drops).

I will recommend a book that is pricey but is the basis of everything to do with oils. I make my own capsules, potions and I have made use of his information on EO safety. Pregnant women, babies and all age children and adults can benefit from essential oil usage...the key is SAFETY. This book has safety guidelines for all ages and lets you know which oils can be used safely at what age. My go to book...

Evidence-Based Essential Oil Therapy by Dr. Scott Johnson....maybe you can find it used...

I use NOW oils to diffuse, Young Living ( I can use internally), Original Swiss Aromatics sold by Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy (founded by Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt...a Ph.D in chemistry), Revive, Florihana sold by Healthy Traditions online and Plant Therapy where Dr. Tisserand consults and he wrote the definitive book on essential oil safety. There are some other good companies but you have to be VERY CAREFUL as there are a lot of oils that contain impurities. If you need any more info let me know.
