The November ZEN BOX includes Zen BASIL Essential Oil, Zen LIME Essential Oil, and Zen COLD & CONGESTION Essential Oil Blend.
ZEN BOX website states that essential oils can aid help with anxiety, restlessness, pain relief, headaches, immune system, focus and vitality and that “almost all essential oils anti-fungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and antibacterial.” If you’d like to know more about essential oils and their uses, Kathy Hershelow, the founder of Sublime Beauty Naturals and ZEN BOX, recently published a book on essential oils or there are plenty of other Internet sites with essential oil information.
ZEN BOX includes a business card with their contact information in the box and all other materials are sent electronically to the subscriber’s email address. I have contacted ZEN BOX several times for information and I always receive a response within a day – typically within hours. Their customer services is superb!
The information on each product and how to use it is sent as a link to a PDF document which you can see by clicking on this link. The information ZEN BOX sends is super useful and I like that they tell provide source and production information for their oils as this is one of the telltale signs of pure, high-quality oils.
Zen Basil Essential Oil – Value $12.99
We grow basil and love the smell of it but I have to say the essential oil smells quite different than the leaf, in my opinion. The oil is much mintier and I like the smell a lot but my husband didn’t at all.
ZEN BOX says May Change Oil can be used in the following ways:
- Diffuse it to fight airborne bacteria and viruses
- Diffuse or inhale to stop vomiting or help with indigestion
- Use to help other oils penetrate the skin
- Fight headaches
- Aid with achy muscles
- Help with mental burnout
- Use as air freshener
- Assist with respiratory illnesses
Zen Lime Essential Oil – Value $12.99
This is a new house favorite! Everyone loves the smell in the diffuser.
The ZEN BOX information says lime oil can be used in the following ways and more:
- Diffuse or inhale for antibacterial qualities
- Make a coconut lime body scrub (I’m doing this!)
- Antiseptic
- Astringent
- Fight off depression
- Remove sticky residue
- Use as overall tonic
Zen Cold & Congestion Essential Oil Blend – Value $15.99
This blend has eucalyptus, rosemary, juniper berry and limes oils in it. My daughter has been inhaling it to help her deal with her cold and sinus problems. She likes it a lot and anything that helps her feel better, I love!
Verdict: I really enjoy ZEN BOX. I love trying new oils each month and learning about their various uses. The information ZEN BOX sends has been one of the best parts for me. I like reading the history of each oil that is included in the information they send. I always learn something new about the flower or herb and how to use the essential oil.
These oils are not the cheapest you can find but remember that it’s important to buy essential oils from a reputable supplier since they are not regulated. Many cheaper oils are cut with other oils and are not be pure. ZEN BOX says their oils are 100% pure therapeutic quality and are gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) tested, which is the way essential oils are tested for purity. The tests are conducted by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS), a multinational company providing inspection, verification, testing and certification services. I requested to see one of the GC/MS reports and ZEN BOX sent it to me the same day. I’m certainly no expert but at this point, I feel comfortable purchasing oils from ZEN BOX.
I’m happy with the value too. I’ve seen cheaper essential oil boxes but I trust the quality of this box and that means a lot. The box costs $39 (you can get it less with a promotion or coupon) and the products this month add up to $41.97.
