Young Living essential oils are pure, which makes them powerful and effective. For the responsible use of essential oils, read the complete label on each bottle and the following guidelines :

The drop reducer orifice located in the oil bottle opening helps you adhere to correct dosages as prescribed by health professionals, reputable literature, or as listed on the label.

Avoid putting essential oils directly into the ears.

When applying a new oil, test one drop on a small patch of skin first (e.g., on the underside of the forearm). Skin sensitivity is highly individual. If the skin feels hot or turns red, apply a vegetable oil (e.g., olive or almond) to the area, which will dilute the essential oil. Washing with water is less effective.

Pure citrus oils may compound the effects of sun exposure. Limit prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for up to 12 hours (up to 24 hours for angelica and lime; up to 48 hours for bergamot) after applying these undiluted essential oils to the skin (see application chart).

Cosmetics, personal care products, or cleansers with synthetic ingredients penetrate the dermal layers of the skin. Avoid applying essential oils to these areas, as it may take these chemicals deeper into skin, fatty tissue, or the bloodstream.

See individual bottle label directions or check with a health professional before using essential oils if you have a serious medical condition or if you are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant. DO NOT use wild tansy, clary sage, sage,fennel, wintergreen, or hyssop during pregnancy.

Avoid using essential oils on skin that has been damaged or affected by chemical burns.

Consult your healthcare professional about any serious disease or injury.

When adding essential oils to a bath, mix them with the Young Living Bath & Shower Gel Base or Epsom salt. Mix 5–10 dropsof essential oil to 1/4 cup of bath gel and add to running water.

Limit the diffusion of unfamiliar essential oils to 10 minutes each day, increasing the time diffused after their effects are determined. The time of diffusion is dependent on room size and potency of the oils. For example, limit strong oils in a small room to less time than mild oils in a large room (see application chart).

DO NOT attempt to self-diagnose or prescribe any natural substances for health conditions that require professional attention.
