What are Essential Oils? Essential oils are volatile liquids and aromatic compounds that are distilled or pressed from plants. These natural compounds protect plants from insects, environmental conditions and disease. Like the blood in the body, the essential oil of a plant is used to seal the cut, protect the wound, provide nutrients and oxygen for cell regeneration and guard against harmful microorganisms. The Everyday Oils Kit was created by Young Living Essential Oils, so that anyone could immediately use and appreciate the benefits of ten different therapeutic-grade essential oils. This kit contains four single oils: Lavender (lavendula angustifolia), Frankincense (boswellia carteri), Peppermint (mentha piperita), and Lemon (citrus limon). It also contains six blends, Joy, Stress Away, Thieves, PanAway, Melaleuca Alternifolia and Purification.

Therapeutic-grade essential oils from Young Living are pure and safe when used as directed. The following are some precautions to help you have a healthy and safe experience. Keep the essential oils out of reach of children, and always dilute essential oils with V6 Vegetable Oil Complex or any Organic alternative before applying on children. Never apply essential oils in your eyes or ears, because it will burn. If an essential oil accidentally gets into your eyes or ears, flush the area with V6 Vegetable Oil Complex or any Organic alternative immediately. DO NOT flush with water! Essential oils are oil-soluble, not watersoluble. Angelica, bergamot and all citrus oils are photosensitive and may cause a rash or dark pigmentation on skin exposed to direct sunlight or UV rays within 1-2 days after application. Pregnant women should consult a health-care professional when starting any type of health program. Oils are safe to use, but one needs to be educated in them and use common sense. People with allergies should test a small amount of oil on an area of sensitive skin, such as the inside of the upper arm, for 30 minutes before applying the oil on other areas of the body. Before taking GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) essential oils internally, test your reactions by diluting one drop of essential oil in one teaspoon of an oil-soluble liquid like honey, olive oil or blue agave. FOLLOW LABEL USAGE INSTRUCTIONS!

How do I use them?
Topically Apply the oils directly on the desired area using 1-3 drops of oil, more is not always better when it comes to essential oils, and always follow the dilution instructions on the bottle. Suggested areas for application are the feet, behind ears, wrists, on the front of the neck and base of the skull. Using Vita Flex Therapy is also beneficial when applying essential oils. Carrier oils are non-essential oils used for dilution.
Organic and unrefined coconut oil, olive oil and grape seed oil are some examples of a carrier oil.
3
Dilute for Children - Dilute 1-3 drops of essential oil to 1 tablespoon of carrier oil for infants, and you may also choose to dilute 1-3 drops of essential oil to 1 teaspoon for children ages 1-5 years old.
4
Aromatically All oils may be diffused and/or inhaled. Research indicates that when essential oils are diffused, they can increase atmospheric oxygen and provide negative ions, which in turn inhibits bacterial growth. This suggests that essential oils could play an important role in air purification and neutralizing odors. Because of their ionizing action, essential oils have the ability to break down potentially harmful chemicals and render them nontoxic.
Each essential oil’s complex, pleasant, and unique scent activates the limbic system, the brain’s center of emotion and memory, differently. While some essential oils may uplift the spirits, others may empower you to release negative thoughts and habits. Essential oils can be your key to a more fulfilling and balanced emotional life. Diffuse an essential oil by adding 5-6 drops in an ultrasonic diffuser. You may also place a drop in your cupped hand, rub palms together, and bring your hands to your face and breathe in slowly for about 1 minute. Smelling directly from the bottle is also a great way to inhale essential oils.
•
Tips for your diffuser! Always follow the instructions and time limit on the back of an essential oil bottle for diffusing. Use distilled water to ensure the longevity of the diffuser.

Always use an ultrasonic diffuser
