Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
Topical: Dilute with a carrier oil, unscented lotion or unscented cream and apply on area of concern or as desired. Consider using a roll-on applicator for ease of application of prediluted oil. Some find it beneficial to apply over sinus areas, but be sure it's well diluted and be careful not to get it into the eyes. Apply around ears, neck and throat. Inhale deeply to help with a headache. Maximum topical use to avoid phototoxic risk is 13% (due to Lemon).

Since Dr. Hull's Breathe Rite does not have a limiting dilution parameter, we suggest that adults who are not applying to skin exposed to UV light follow the General Guidelines found on the Dilution Chart, which is:

2-3% for daily application

Up to 25% for short-term use

Dr. Hull suggests for Adults: Apply a small amount of this oil to the tip of your 5th finger and touch it to the septum of your nose from both nostrils. It will immediately open your sinuses and airway. It will last as long as three to four hours. Repeat as needed. It fights infection and allergies well. If it is too hot in the nostrils, dilute it with olive or grape seed oil.
[Although Dr. Hull doesn't mention diluting the blend, we suggest that you dilute it significantly the first time you try this.]

CAUTION for Babies and young Children: The menthol in Peppermint and the 1,8-cineole in Eucalyptus may cause breathing issues and should be avoided on or near the face. Dr. Hull's proceedure is not recommeneded for children. See safety information at the bottom of the page. Please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler. Add a few drops of Breate Rite to a bowl of hot, steaming water. Place a towel over your head and the water/oil mixture and inhale the steam to open sinuses. This may help relieve breathing difficulties related to flu, colds, and pneumonia.

1. I bought a sample of Breathe Rite with my last order. Not reading the directions on the bottle, I gave each of my children a drop on their fingers to put in their noses. Three of the children didn't mind and thought it "tingled," but the fourth stated crying saying that it burned! I quickly gave her some coconut oil to rub in her nose to ease the discomfort. I thought she was being overly dramatic (as she often is), until I put some in my nose. Well, after a few minutes with watery eyes, I found I could breath! Since then, my children have asked for Breathe Rite every night. Tonight my 3 year old brought me the coconut oil and asked if I would give her some after I gave her the "burns." It took me a minute to realize what she wanted, but she made it clear that she wanted the Breathe Rite. Thank you, Linda! I thought this might make you smile. - Bethany

Safety
CAUTION for Children: Essential oils high in 1,8-cineole (Eucalyptus) or menthol (Peppermint) can cause CNS and breathing problems in young children, and should not be applied to or near their faces under ten years of age (Tisserand, pages 656-657, 273). Tisserand writes: "Any oil with 40% or more 1,8-cineole should not be applied to the face of infants or children or otherwise inhaled by them" (page 109). Appropriately diluted for the child, the blend will fall well-within the range of safe use, as it would contain far less than 40% 1,8-cineole. Regarding inhalation/diffusing, Tisserand writes: "For children of 5 years old or less, direct inhalation should be avoided. Direct inhalation includes inhaling essential oils from the hands, a cotton ball, a nasal inhaler, a bowl of hot water or similar. Indirect, or ambient inhalation, is safe for young children, and includes any method that vaporizes essential oils into the air (page 658).”

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.
