Essential Oils are powerful medicines. As with other medicines, they should be kept out of the reach of children. Not all essential oils are alike. Many on the market today are chemically altered and are not subjected to scrutiny. Each batch of Young Living Essential Oils are tested and guaranteed for the purity.

Ways to use essential oils:
1. Aroma Therapy - Diffuse the oil into the air. The molecules disperse into the air and you obtain the benefit from breathing. Essential oils are especially beneficial in cleaning the air, reducing airborne chemicals and metallics. Diffusing oils into the air are the best way to reach the limbic system.
2. Ingesting - Many Young Living Oils can be ingested. You will receive a User's Guide with each order. Oils considered GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe for Internal Consumption) have the required FDA facts listed on the bottle. You can put them on food, add them to water or put them on a piece of bread, Blue Agave, honey or sugar cube to ingest.
3. Direct application (neat) - always test a small amount of oil first on either the inside of the arm or on the thigh. Should you have any negative reaction to the oil, dilute with a pure vegetable oil such as V-6 Mixing Oil or pure extra-virgin olive oil. It is recommended that you always dilute an essential oil with a mixing oil. The feet are the second fastest area of the body to absorb the oils, other areas with a quick absorption rate are the around the ears and behine the ears.
4. Cautions - Never put the oils inside the ear, eyes or on the genitalia. Should the oils get inside these areas, immediately use V-6 mixing oil or pure extra-virgin olive oil on the area to dilute. Do not use water, water will drive the oil into the tissue. Please read the user's guide prior to use.
5. Babies and Infants - dilute with V-6 Mixing Oil. Use one to three drops of essential oil in a Tablespoon of mixing oil, or apply the oil to your hands and hold the baby.
6. Cooking with oils. Use a toothpick (one drop may be too much flavoring for a dish). After the dish has been fully cooked, dip a toothpick and swirl into the food. One drop of essential oil is equal to several bottles of dried herbs, so use sparingly.
7. Vita Flex Therapy - Apply the oils to contact or reflex points on the feet, hands or ears.
8. Raindrop Therapy - For a full explanation, order the Raindrop Technique Kit, Code 3137. This technique uses the oils by dropping them from about six inches above along the entire length of the spine (along the para-spinals).
9. Auricular Therapy - Apply the oils to the reflex points on the rim of the ears. This works very well for emotional support.
10. Perfume or Cologne - in addition to a wonderful fragrance, the organic essential oils provide healthy support of the immune system, oxygenate the blood, and provide emotional support.
11. Compresses - fill a water basin with hot or cold water, then add the oil. Stir the water and place a towel on the water, saturating the towel. Wring out the excess water and place on the area needing a compress. For a hot compress cover with a dry towel and water bottle on top of the compress. For a cold compress, cover with a piece of plastic or plastic wrap and put a dry towel on top of that.
12. Massage - Use with V-6 mixing oil. Place a hot wet towel and a dry towel on top of an already massaged area. Moist heat will force the oils deeper into the tissues.
13. Any project - Put a drop of essential oil on cloth, tissue or cotton ball - and hold close to your face and inhale, or just open the bottle and place under your nose and breathe.
14. For Respiratory System (Colds or Flu)- Use in a vaporizer or humidifier (cold water is best).
15. Air Purifier - Put a drop on a cotton ball and attach to a fan. or register. (One drop of Purification on a tissue and attached to the register in a motel or hotel room will give the room fresh and purified air)
16. Bath Water - up to six drops in a bath. Because the oils will float on top of the water, it is best to put the oils in a gel base or mix with epsom salts first. If using a bath gel base with the oil make sure that the gel base does not contain contaminants such as laurel sulfate.
Essential oils detoxify the system. Therefore, if you put an essential oil on skin where you have previously used a product containing toxins such as laurel sulfate (most over-the-counter lotions and soaps contain these ingredients), the essential oil will start to detoxify the skin and you may experience a rash. Other symptoms of detoxification include sneezing, coughing, loose stools, nausea. It is recommended that you discontinue the use of toxins on your skin, soaps or bath products. Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and toxins can be held in different cells in the body and fat cells for years.
CAUTION: Other brands of essential oils may or may not contain impurities. Young Living guarantees purity, using no chemical substitutes. Not all essential oils are alike. All Young Living oils pass AFNOR standards. Before you use an essential oil as recommended above, be sure that the oil is pure, efficacious and has been accepted by AFNOR. For further information, please see the Essential Oil Desk Reference.
