    1. Add 1-2 drops of Lemon in water first thing in the morning to cleanse and detoxify (make sure to ALWAYS use a glass one, and not plastic).
    2. Put 1-2 drops of Lavender on your pillow at night before bed to promote a restful sleep.
    3. Diffuse Lavender at night to help calm and relax and have a more restful sleep (can also rub a few drops onto feet).
    4. Rub 1-2 drops of Peppermint onto your feet upon waking to start the day with Energy, and/or if you are feeling tired (also great to put 4-6 drops in the diffuser). Or add a few drops on palms of hand, and take 3 deep breaths to wake yourself up!
    5. Add 1-2 drops of Frankincense to your moisturizer at night for beautiful, glowing skin.
    6. Rub Deep Blue into sore muscles and joints at end of the day or post-workout to speed up recovery (could also layer peppermint on top of the deep blue for a greater effect).
    7. Place 4-6 drops of Breathe into the diffuser overnight if feeling congested . You could also rub a few drops onto feet before bed, as well as few drops onto your chest-Repeat in the morning if necessary.
    8. To aid in digestion, add 1-2 drops of DigestZen to water and drink after meals (can also rub a drop or two onto tummy if feeling bloated, nauseous or upset stomach).
    9. If immune system is feeling run down, rub few drops of OnGuard onto bottoms of feet, add 4-6 drops to diffuser
    10. If you’re feeling in a funk, rub a few drops of Frankincense in the palms of your hands, and take 3 deep breaths.
