1. This is the blend I diffuse the most. I had chronic migraine headaches for years and find this blend very helpful to not only prevent, but to lessen the pain and intensity of the headaches. - J.S.

2. I have been living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity for 6 years. The past 5 years I have been having seizures or severe spasms where my head violently turns left and right, arms fling around and when it's very bad, my legs will come out from under me. I decided to use Focus essential oil and inhale it deeply before meetings at work or when I need to boost my brain power. I also dab Focus at the base of my nostrils and inhale it whenever I am about to enter a toxic area (store, restaurant, meetings, work-place, airport, plane). I've been doing this for nearly 7 weeks now and am happy to share that I have had only a few episodes of the seizure/severe spasms.

3. We are having pretty good luck with the Focus blend for language comprehension. The girls are doing a bit better in school. Amazing! - Carrie

Safety
Phototoxic Caution: Bergamot is phototoxic, so you should dilute at 5.5% or less when applying to skin that will be exposed to UV light.

Dermal Caution Ylang Ylang: Due to potential skin sensitization issues, the maximum dermal use level should be 0.8% to avoid these issues (Tisserand/Young).

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 health care provider.

*Jasmine Grandiflorum is an absolute from India - Premium quality from the freshest flowers. Jasmine is actually an "essence" not an essential oil. Absolutes are solvent extracted products. They are produced by a multi-step process which involves first extracting the flower (or other biomass) with a non-polar solvent such as hexane. After the hexane is evaporated, a waxy product is obtained called the concrete. The concrete is then extracted using a polar solvent such as ethanol. The polarity of ethanol allows extraction of the volatile aromatics from the concrete while leaving behind the non-polar plant waxes which don't dissolve well in ethanol. Finally, the ethanol is evaporated to leave behind the absolute, which will typically have 1-5% ethanol remaining in it and sometimes a trace of hexane, depending on the method used. Robert Tisserand, author of Essential Oil Safety, writes: The solvent normally used is hexane, and residues in absolutes are in the region of 1-20 ppm (parts per million). These are tiny amounts and should not be cause for concern in regard to safety" (Complete Skin Care Series).
