of the brain. Due to this connection, essential oils have a potent effect when applied aromatically, and can stimu- late, calm or soothe, depending upon the oil of choice. Aromatic application includes smelling an essential oil from a drop in a hand or on a cotton ball. Diffusing places the aroma into the air. Other uses include combining essen- tial oils in a spray bottle with water to mist carpets, linens and furniture, as well as adding them to laundry and household cleaning.
Beneficial areas for topical appli- cation include forehead, temple, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, legs and the bot- tom of feet. When using an essential oil for the first time or one that is particu- larly potent, doTERRA advises the use of a carrier oil, such fractionated coco- nut oil, for dilution. The recommended dilution ratio is typically one drop of essential oil to three drops of carrier oil. It is important to note that a dose will vary for each individual, based on age, size and overall health status. A few drops can be added to a moisturizing cream for skin application, or to a cold or hot towel compress to soothe and relax. Areas that can be sensitive should be avoided, such as facial areas, near and around the eyes, eyes and inner ears and broken, damaged or otherwise injured skin. The rigorous testing process that ensures purity with no added fillers confirms that doTERRA essential oils can be taken internally, as flavoring and culinary additions, or used as dietary supplements to support health. Small amounts of essential oils can replace dried herbs in cooking and baking, be added to smoothies or taken in a veg- etable capsule for targeted and potent health benefits. doTERRA recommends proper dosing according to labeling recommendations, and other profes- sional guidelines should be strictly followed to avoid toxicity. Using the natural power of do- TERRA essential oils as gifts from the Earth enhances the lives of families by providing benefits that promote physi- cal and emotional wellbeing.
