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. It 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. THIS PLANT
IS GROWN AND DISTILLED AT THE YOUNG LIVING FARMS.
