VALUE OF THE ESSENTIAL 7 KIT:
Essential 7 Kit was created by Young Living Essential Oils
(YLEO) so that anyone could immediately use and appreciate
the benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oils. The Kit
contains three single oils: Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia),
Lemon (Citrus limon) and Peppermint (Mentha piperita), and
four oil blends: Joy, PanAway, Peace & Calming and Purification.
HOW TO USE YOUR ESSENTIAL 7 KIT:
Dietary Supplements: All single oils may be used as dietary
supplements.
Diffuse: All of the oils may by diffused. The diffuser from
YLEO is a special air pump that is custom designed to disperse
the oils in a micro fiber vapor. This allows the oils to stay
suspended in the air to reduce bacteria, fungi and mold. Diffusing
also freshens the air with natural fragrances, eliminating
the need for synthetic, harmful air fresheners. The diffuser
disperses the oils without heat, which could render the essential
oils less effective.
Direct Application: All of the oils can be applied to the
Vita Flex points on the feet, added to bath water mixed with
YLEO’s Bath Gel Base, applied topically or used with
body and foot massage.
LAVENDER: (Lavandula angustifolia) is the
most versatile of all essential oils. Therapeutic-grade lavender
has been highly regarded for the skin. Lavender has been clinically
evaluated for its relaxing effects. It may be used to cleanse
cuts, bruises and skin irritations. The fragrance is calming,
relaxing and balancing – physically and emotionally.

GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFE USE OF YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL
OILS.
1. Always keep a bottle of V-6 Vegetable Mixing Oil, Massage
Oil Base or any pure vegetable oil handy when using essential
oils. Vegetable oils dilute essential oils if they cause discomfort
or skin irritation.
2. Keep bottles of essential oils tightly closed and store
them in a cool location away from light. If stored properly,
essential oils will maintain their potency for many years.
3. Keep essential oils out of reach of children. Treat them
as you would any product for therapeutic use.
4. Do not use essential oils rich in menthol (such as peppermint)
on the throat or neck area of children under 30 months of
age.
5. Direct sunlight and essential oils. Lemon, bergamot, orange,
grapefruit, tangerine, White Angelica and other citrus oils
may cause a rash or darker pigmentation if applied to skin
exposed to direct sunlight or UV rays with 3 to 4 days of
use.
6. Keep essential oils away from eye area and do not put
into ears. Do not handle contact lenses or rub eyes with essential
oils on fingers. Oils with high phenol content – oregano,
helichrysum, cinnamon, thyme, clove. Lemongrass, bergamot,
Thieves and ImmuPower – may damage contacts and irritate
eyes.
7. 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.
8. Epileptics and those with high blood pressure should consult
their health care professional before using essential oils.
Avoid using hyssop, fennel and Idaho tansy oils.
9. People with allergies should test a small amount of oil
on a small area of sensitive skin, such as the inside of the
arm, before applying the oil on other areas. The bottom of
the feet is one of the safest, most effective places to use
essential oils.
10. Before taking GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) essential
oils internally, always dilute with an oil-soluble liquid
like honey, olive oil or soy milk.
11. Do not add undiluted essential oils directly to bath
water. Use Bath Gel Base as a dispersing agent for oils in
the bath.
