• Apply to specified energetic meridians (consult a reflexology book)

• Add to bath water (ALWAYS dissolve in bath salts, Epsom salts or Bath gel before adding to water.)

• Use as a Spray (add 30 drops to a 1 ounce spray bottle filled with purified or distilled water). Good for purifying a room or spray around body for an energy pick-me-up. Close eyes if spraying around the face.

• Use as a compress (rub one to three drops on location, cover with a hot, damp towel. Cover the moist towel with a dry towel for ten to sixty minutes.) This intensifies the effect.

• Dilute to use as full body massage 

• Use in a rectal implant: can help in cases of serious diseases such as cancer and lung conditions. ALWAYS use diluted with carrier oil (1 to 5 drops per teaspoon of pure cold-pressed vegetable oil.)

• Internal use: In Europe, some people use essential oils internally: They mix them with an oil-soluble liquid such as honey, olive oil, or soy milk.  ONLY use 100% pure, certified organic or wildcrafted steam distilled essential oils that have been approved for internal use (such as lemon, orange, peppermint, grapefruit, etc. - consult the GRAS list), and only one drop at at time at first, unless you are used to taking more. Taking too many essential oils internally can cause intense healing reactions and can be VERY uncomfortable.  However, one drop of peppermint, orange, lemon or grapefuit added to a glass of water can be very refreshing and healing. It is rarely necessary to use more than this internally. Children under the age of 6 should only use essential oils topically (on the skin), and should never take essential oils internally (by mouth).

• Start slowly and add oils on gradually

• Take intestinal herbs first if very ill (Vibrant Colon Formula and Colon Detox Caps) or other colon/intestinal rejuvenation routine. Essential oils are very powerful substances. They can create too much healing at once if the intestines are not first cleansed. The more ill a person is, usually the more toxic they are. The more toxic they are, the more likely they will experience healing reactions from using essential oils if they haven't first cleansed the intestines.

• Do a patch test to determine any possible sensitivity: Before using any essential oil, it is advised to do a patch test to determine if you have a possible allergy to it. Allergic reactions are rare, but can occur. To the inside of your forearm, apply one drop of the essential oil mixed with one drop of cold-pressed vegetable oil or jojoba oil. Cover with a piece of gauze or elastic bandage, and leave on for 24 hours. If there is no irritation, rash, redness or burning sensation then it is likely you are not allergic to the essential oil and can use it safely.

• Skin reactions: some people get skin reactions from essential oils because they take too many of them or take them internally in large doses. They are impatient to get well too soon and rush the process of getting well.  With large doses of any herb, a healing reaction can occur. Toxins that have accumulated inside the body for years are now being released, and when the digestive organs cannot eliminate these toxins, they often erupt out through the skin. These reactions are not the result of poisoning, but the result of too vigorous an attempt to heal. This is why I always stress the importance of cleansing the digestive organs FIRST before diving into any remedies that detoxify the body. To succeed with any natural remedy, SLOW DOWN, start slowly, use less and give the body time to heal and replace damaged cells and tissues.  Remember, essential oils are highly concentrated, so it is usually NEVER necessary to use more than a drop or two by mouth. Higher doses can be dangerous.

• Storage of essential oils: Always store essential oils in an amber or dark-colored glass bottle in a dark, cool place. Keep them away from heat.
