notes...

Essential Oil Basic Safety Tips Always patch test for skin sensitivity and keep a bottle of fatty oil (V-6, coconut, or olive oil) when using essential oils. Fatty oils dilute essential oils and stop discomfort or skin irritation.

Those who are prone to seizures or have high blood pressure should consult their health care professional before using some essential oils. Avoid Hyssop, Fennel and Idaho Tansy oils.

Do not put essential oils in the eyes or ears.

If a child swallows excessive amount of essential oils, administer milk, honey or a fatty oil.

If you get an oil in the eye, flush with a fatty oil or milk, not water.

Water will amplify the feeling.

Keep bottles of essential oils closed (they will evaporate if left open). Store in a cool area.

Do not ingest oils and over-thecounter medicine at the same time.

Citrus oils are photosensitive. Do not apply them to skin that will be exposed to the sun within 24hours.

Do not handle contact lenses or rub eyes with essential oils on fingers; oils may damage contact lenses and irritate eyes.

Do not use essential oils rich in menthol (Peppermint or Wintergreen) on the throat or neck area of children under 3.

Do not apply oils to skin you've just rubbed a chemical product on (lotion, soap, shampoo) .

Oils & plastic/oils & styrofoam do not mix. Essential oils are natural detoxifiers that will eat and degrade plastic and styrofoam.

Use glass or stainless steel for holding mixtures with oils.

Oils and water do not mix. Do not add undiluted essential oils directly to bath water. Add oils to salts or YL bath gel and then add to bath water.

Pregnant women should consult their health care professional before using essential oils containing constituents with hormone-like activity, such as Clary Sage, Sage, Idaho Tansy, Juniper, and Fennel.

INFO Carrier Oils

How Much Oil Do I Use?

Typically we are talking about using 1-3 drops at a time. It's better to use oils more frequently than to douse yourself all at once.

Can I Use Too Much Oil?

NORMAL SKIN OILY SKIN

V-6, grapeseed, sweet almond, apricot, jojoba.

DRY SKIN

V-6, avocado, olive, rosehip.

The only known overdoses have occurred from ingesting large amounts of oils--as in entire bottles of oils at one time.

How fast do oils work?

SENSITIVE SKIN

When an essential oil is absorbed into skin, it takes only 20 seconds to reach the blood stream.

Within 20 minutes the oil has traveled throughout the entire body.

V-6*, coconut, grapeseed, sweet almond, sunflower, hemp seed.

MATURE SKIN

V-6, jojoba, sweet almond, sesame seed.

V-6, jojoba, rosehip, sweet almond, and apricot.

*V-6 is Young Living's light cold-pressed combo oil: coconut, sesame, grapeseed, sweet almond, wheat germ, and olive oils.

How many drops in a bottle?

15ml = 250-300

DEPENDS ON THE THICKNESS OF THE OIL

10ml = 200

5ml = 85-100

2ml = 35-40

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHITE VITALITY LABELED OILS AND COLORED LABELED OILS? The only difference is the label. The oil in both bottles is the same.

White Vitality labeled oils can be ingested as dietary aids.

Colored labeled oils are used topically and aromatically.

Everyday Oils Kits start at $160 Premium Starter Kit with Everyday Oils comes with your choice of diffuser plus the 10 essential oils in this booklet (each 5 ml).
