Cloud b Lavender Lab - Plush Dog with Scented Lavender
Nestled inside Lavender lab’s plush head, back and bottom are packets filled with our exclusive blend of Lavender and aromatherpy scents which produces an aroma that lasts up to five years. Made with the softest Velboa fabric, Lavender Lab can be placed on baby’s crib or your bed during the day, then moved to bedside for naps and nighttime sleep.

Customer Review: Perfect buddy for my son!
Just the right size — big enough to play all kinds of games with, sit on, use as a pillow. Small enough for him to carry around everywhere. Cleans up well in the washer and dryer. Smells good too! We now have 2 since my son brings him everywhere I needed to make sure we always have a spare in case one gets lost. They have been inseparable since his first birthday 2 years ago.

Customer Review: cute but not for infants
This stuffed animal is very cute and soft, plus I like that it has a lavender scent that isn’t too strong (you actually have to put your face up to it to smell this). I got it for my 8 month old son, but I will wait to give it to him since it’s bigger than I thought. I just put it in his crib when he’s awake or not in there so the scent can transfer to his crib, then remove it for bedtime. The fur material is nice and doesn’t “shed” like some other stuffed animals out there even when my son pulls on it or tries to put it in his mouth. I recommend this, but for older kids like maybe at least 2 or 3 yrs old. For now, I’m the one cuddling w/ it at night:)

Customer Review: Outdated and dangerous
While it is fairly well known in the aromatherapy world that the French tradition is much more aggressive with their use of essential oils (higher concentrations, more internal use of oils) than the English, it should be better known worldwide that essential oils are HIGHLY toxic for cats and birds. A single drop of many essential oils can kill a cat or bird! Grosjean’s book not only recommends the use of undiluted essential oils on cats (which, as we know, are likely to lick off anything put on their fur, this turning a topical application into an internal one), but advocates the use of extremely toxic oils such as sassafras and very strong dilutions (as much as 33% to 50% instead of the more common and safer 1-5%). Grosjean is often referred to as a “woman of passion” - I’d prefer to see her as a woman of reason and caution. We humans can make informed decisions about the use of products dangerous to our health (as smokers and drinkers and junk-food eaters do every single day) but our pets are completely at our mercy. We owe it to them to be cautious and thoroughly educate ourselves on what we intend to do to them. Kristen Leigh Bell’s “Holistic Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy for Animals” is a FAR better and more up-to-date book that I recommend instead of this one.
Customer Review: A totaly animal related aromatherapy book!
Nelly Grosjean has a “classical” approach to Aromtherapy. This book takes the reader directly to the topic at hand, how to care for a cat, dog, horse, bird, and farm animals; using aromatherapy. It is understood by the author that the reader has a background in Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy; pages aren’t spent on basic background subjects. Great resource for animal care.

Customer Review: This should be the first book you should read !
I was looking at several aromatherapy books before actually buying one. I must have looked at dozens of books..Being a beginner, this was by far the most entertaining and educational book out there on aromatherapy! Many books are very informative, but not a particularly interesting read. In this case, the humour and easy going manner of the book makes you want to read on and on. The chapters are well organized, and there is even a symptom & oil directory. If you are just beginning, this is the book to start your aromatherapy collection!!!!
