Buyer beware.
Anjana, my daughter, was already attending college when I was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils. I decided to make up a first-aid kit for her that would cover just about any problem that may arise when one is living in a small enclosed space with other people, and using communal bathrooms, etc. Also, to help in the prevention of problems. The following are the instructions I gave her with the kit:
Cedarwood
Rub between eyebrows for deep sleep. Releases melatonin from pineal gland. Also good for face skin. Use with Peace & Calming if need extra relaxation.
Thieves
Rub on throat for sore throat, under feet for immune system, chest for congestion, cold, flu or directly on infection. Rub around ears for earache. Use finger to rub directly onto gums for tooth ache. Use to sterilize hands after using public bathroom.
RC
Respiratory congestion: 6 drops in left hand, rub clockwise 3 times, cover face with hands keeping eyes open. Breath in. Stinging is O.K. Or rub on chest and throat. Alternate with Raven as RC is deep and penetrating and Raven is soothing.
DiGize
For any upset tummy condition. Rub a lot around naval area morning and evening or whenever needed. Or drink one drop in water.
Purification
Cleanses cuts, neutralizes poisons from bug bits if applied directly on it, spray around room for air purifying, or diffuse. Apply directly on cold sores.
Lavender
Any skin problem, cut, burn, scrape, acne, etc. Rub under feet or on face to help sleep. Freshens air in room. Use with Frankincense for added effect.
Lemon

Cinnamint Lip Balm
Dry lips, apply on lips when ever they need it. Contains Cinnamon essential oil.
Orange

Valor

Peppermint
Excellent for pain - on temples or apply where-ever pain is, so long as there is no broken skin. Rub under feet for reducing fever or to cool down on a hot day or while playing sports.
