Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
Topical: Dilute with a carrier oilunscented lotion or unscented cream and apply on the area of concern or as desired. Consider using a roll-on applicator for ease of application of prediluted oil. The maximum topical use is 10% (due to Spearmint).

Children: For infants and children, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

"Essential oils absorbed into the abdominal veins [e.g. as a suppository or applied on inner thighs] bypass the liver. They are fed directly into the heart-lung circulatory system without first being subjected to biotransformation by the liver detoxification enzyme system. Consequently, they reach the lower bronchial capillaries in their original lipophilic and volatile state, still capable of eliminating pathogenic microorganisms and dissolving and expectorating mucus" (from The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils by Kurt Schnaubelt).

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Breathe Easy is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. We feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. HEO does not advocate the internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer them, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective when used topically with proper dilution or inhaled. Kurt Schnaubelt, Ph.D. notes that "French aromatherapy literature contains many references to using oils orally." He goes on to note that "generally 1 drop is always enough when ingesting essential oils." A potential toxicity hazard could occur when untrained people use essential oils orally and ingest too much. Keep in mind that while medical doctors or health care practitioners may prescribe essential oils for internal use, they are trained and experienced in the safe application of essential oils. It is not a matter of using "French aromatherapy" or "British" methods; it's a matter of experience and appropriate application.

1. I previously had good results with Respiratory Relief when my little ones were ill, but I had recently purchased Breathe Easy to give it a try. I am very pleased with the results. We diffused and applied topically (diluted). - Nessie

2. The Breathe Easy blend helped my 2.5-year-old get better recently - he had a cough, a slight fever and just felt awful. I used Breathe Easy diluted on his chest and Plague Defense diluted on his feet, and he is much better ( he still has a bit of a cough but is himself again!!) I haven't put it on him since he has felt better. He also likes the smell of Breathe Easy!! I think that alone helped him feel better. Before I found out about HEO, I used Vicks Baby formula - I absolutely prefer the Breathe Easy!! - Jennifer

3. Breathe Easy is wonderful for adults too. Hubby and I have been using it for a yucky cough we have, and it has helped so much. - Lana

4. My husband worked in the VA hospital in intense secondhand smoke for over 30 years. Until the last couple of years, he had severe lung issues. Because of that and because of fear of getting anything that could cause congestion, he faithfully got a flu shot every September. By the end of September EVERY year, he would have bronchitis - very asthma-like - which he would have until the following May. It was the plague of every winter! Long before I knew all I know now about it, I would cringe when he would get the shot. Somehow, without consciously connecting it to the shot, I saw it as the beginning of the scary, very long season. One year - maybe about five years ago now - I suggested he not get the shot. He reluctantly agreed. The end of September came - no bronchitis. We were both cautiously amazed! Because of my fear of being wrong, I watched for every symptom! At even a clearing of the throat, I would be there with lemon and raw honey. I began to learn about essential oils and started using them if he would be getting a cold, etc. I learned to diffuse and got some oil mixtures for lung damage from Hopewell Essential Oils (Lung Healing and Breathe Easy). We made it through the first year with no serious lung issues. Whew! This year I am convinced his lungs have completely healed. That probably would be considered impossible, but it is the only thing I can conclude. At this point, it is several years since either Larry or I have had a cold or any other congestive issue. We refuse any medical intrusion and are so fortunate to have a doctor from Nepal who understands. He goes through the routine of 'recommending' but then drops the subject. This year I think he really believed Larry should have the pneumonia shot, but we stood firm. I have the tools provided by the Almighty if we need them. - Margaret

5. 
I just wanted to let you know we have our little smiling flower back! There is a bit of lingering cough and congestion, but for the most part, it is gone! I did not have to do any more suppositories. The fever broke and stayed away Friday. I praise The LORD most High for this victory. What a battle, but with the Holy Spirit by our side, we knew which weapons to use, when and how to attack. Pneumonia has been defeated. At home. No drugs or machines, just the incredible immune system. Simply amazing. And we are so blessed to have other warriors like you by our side. It is always so refreshing and encouraging to have an e-mail conversation with you. You help hold my arms up!: -) - Tricia
[HEO's Comment: They used Immune Support and Breathe Easy Gentle Blends]

6. Last month I assembled an essential oil gift basket for my pastor's wife. Last week, my pastor was outside and began to have an asthma attack. He has pulmonary fibrosis, which is a fatal lung disease with no cure. He wears oxygen 24/7. As he started to have an asthma attack, he could feel his lungs closing and did not have his inhaler. He looked in his wife's truck and found the Breathe Easy that I had put in her basket. He inhaled it deeply, and the asthma attack stopped suddenly, and he could breathe. He keeps the Breathe Easy in his pocket now. He thanked me today in front of the church for putting that oil in the gift basket and for the wonderful Christian company of Hopewell oils. After he saw the name "Hopewell" on the bottle, he researched the company and found out that you were an honorable Christian company. He was excited to use the oils knowing he was supporting such an honorable company. - Debra

7. I was completely eager to get Breathe Easy because I knew it was safe for my two-month-old! I got sick with a severe cold, and then my newborn son and my husband got the same thing! I was still on the mend when Breathe Easy came, so I put it in the diffuser right out of the box! Within minutes, my sinuses were clearing and my baby's breathing became less of a struggle! My husband (the skeptic) came home, and he was feeling a little better within the hour! He now asks for my oils! Thank you for giving us parent-safe alternatives for little ones! - Lyz

8. I applied Breathe Easy on my daughter's inner thighs and her coughing fit just stopped! It was crazy awesome how fast that worked. Now my husband is doing it with Respiratory Relief! Thank you!!! - Leigh

9. I love this kid's version called Breathe Easy. I have it on hand all the time, and it does wonders! I Love Hopewell oils!!! -Jen

10. My 82-year-old Grandma developed a chronic dry cough about a year ago. Hearing her up night after night, I started running my diffuser in her room, alternating Breathe Easy, Lavender, Black Spruce and Lung Support. Within a week of diffusing the oils, her cough was gone! We have continued diffusing, as the cough comes back when we stop. There is something about the oils that her body must need. - Emily

11. Our favorite baby and little-person oil is Breathe Easy. It’s restful, calming, and soothing for everyone. - Stari

12. Your Breathe Easy for children has helped so often! I almost couldn’t believe how the coughing would stop so soon after applying it! They know what Mommy will reach for when they begin getting sick. - Michelle

13. Please extend a huge thank you and heaps of gratitude to your team! I never expected to order on Saturday morning and have my package out for delivery today, but it is greatly appreciated! My little guy started coughing EARLY Saturday morning so badly that he couldn't sleep and it sounded like it might be croup. It took me a couple of hours, but I finally remembered that I had a sample bottle of Breathe Easy tucked away. Within minutes of applying it to his feet and inner thighs, I could see him visibly relax and he was finally able to sleep. - Heather

14. Peroxidizer - Use 3% peroxide - 3 bottles of peroxide to 5 bottles of water in a cool mist humidifier. I use the ultrasonic humidifier because it cranks out more volume. Sit in front of it and breathe deeply - pathogens in the lungs and sinuses can't live in an oxygen-enriched environment. Usually the flu and so on is gone within 24 hours using this method. You can also put it by your bed or the bed of your children at night when flu and cold strikes. Some have also had good results adding a few drops of Lugols iodine solution, which sounds like a good idea to me. - Kay
[HEO's Comment: We suggest using food-grade hydrogen peroxide to avoid breathing the stabilizer that is present in the brown bottle version.]

15. Hyssop var. decumbens and Breathe Easy are amazing for infectious asthma. I've used them in a suppository with great results. These far outperform any medication my boys have ever used. - Amy

Safety
Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your healthcare provider.
