All of the Essential 7
therapeutic grade oils
may by diffused. The
diffuser from YLEO is a special air pump that is custom designed to
disperse the oils in a microfiber 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.
All of the Essential 7 oils can be applied to
the Vita Flex points on the feet, added to bath water mixed with YLEO's
Bath/Shower
Gel Base,
applied topically or used with body and foot massage.
