Supports wellness and may ease stress and promote restful sleep.
Internal: Manger Gift 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 internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective 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" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application. (Click here for more information about internal usage.)
2. I use Manger Gift on my wrists and back of knees, and I feel calm and peaceful no matter what stress I'm dealing with. - C.W 3. I applied Manger Gift on the bottoms of my husband's feet before we went to bed, and I slept better than I have for years. I slept soundly. - Rhonda 4. Everyone in our family has different favorite blends that just smell so good you can't help but be uplifted when you put them on. Manger Gift definitely does that for me! My top three favorites are Manger Gift, Mountain Top, and Magi, with Manger Gift in 1st place! - Katy 5. I love the Manger Gift blend. Not only has it helped my whole family to have a deep, uninterrupted sleep, but it also has helped me with anxiety and feeling stressed. I also have severe allergies and eczema and many oils bother my skin. This is the first oil blend I have used successfully, and it seems to calm my itches and helps my skin to heal. I am using it instead of my prescription lotion (protopic) by adding one drop to my plain hand lotion, and I love it. - Sandy
6. My parents have found Manger's Gift to help them with deep, restful sleep. They diffuse it in the bedroom at night. I find it relaxing as well, though I have yet to find anything that really "knocks me out," so to speak. - Savannah
