This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.* How to Use For dietary, aromatic, or topical use. When using as a supplement, dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid such as goat's or rice milk. Diffuse for short periods of time (1/2 hour or less) in the work or home environment. Possible skin sensitivity. If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician. Always dilute (with a fatty oil like coconut or sweet almond) before applying to the skin or taking internally. Keep out of reach of children. WARNING: Thieves oil is considered a spicy oil. If you have sensitive skin or get it in your eyes, it might cause a burning sensation. To remedy this, immediately rub in a FATTY oil, such as coconut or olive oil. What happens is that the essential oil molecules are very tiny and travel through your cells so quickly that they create friction and a heat/burning sensation. By adding a larger, fatty oil molecule, the fatty oil binds to the essential oil molecule, slowing its absorption and immediately relieving the burning sensation. If you get it in your eyes, wipe your eyes with fatty oil as well for immediate relief.
