Since Arctic Ice does not have a limiting dilution parameter, we suggest that adults follow the General Guidelines found on the Dilution Chart, which is:

2-3% for daily application

Up to 25% for short-term use

Diffuse with care (about 2 drops) around 3-6- year-old children. For children over 3, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Arctic Ice 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 aromatherapy" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application.

1. I was running errands in town one day and began to get a migraine. Vertigo and nausea were setting in, and since I was driving, my situation was difficult. I had Arctic Ice in a roll-on applicator with me. I rolled it on my temples and base of neck. It did seep into one eye, and although “painful,” I knew it wouldn’t cause permanent damage. Actually, it got into the eye with the worst of the migraine pain and seemed to help wipe out the pain. Within 45 minutes, my migraine pain and all the other symptoms had vanished. –Linda

2. I have a 19-year-old daughter that has bad cramps from her menstrual cycle. She gets to the point where she has to roll up in a ball, gets very nauseous and throws up. She has used Arctic Ice for two months now, and both months it has been the only thing that has calmed her cramps. I put it in a roller-ball applicator for her, and we roll it over her lower back and abdomen. She begs me never to run out of it. Thank you! - Annie

3. I am ingesting 1 drop each of Regeneration and Arctic Ice with 1 tsp honey placed on a spoon. I flip the spoon upside down and let the mix flow down my throat. I have noticed that pain in general has decreased. I also use 15 drops of Arctic Ice in a roll-on applicator topped off with Hemp oil and apply on my left foot where I have 4 tendon transplants, and for bursitis on my hips. This helps with the pain. -Joselyn

4. Last night as I was looking for my lost dog I tripped and fell into a tree trunk, shoulder first. My shoulder quickly swelled and was painful. After we found our dog, I put a combo of Pain-X and Arctic Ice all over my shoulder and neck area that hurt. The incredible relief I felt helped me sleep all night and I woke up to very little swelling in my shoulder! Thanks so much! - Grace

5. My mom has had tremendous results using your oils for her crushed ankle. I mixed Regeneration, Arctic Ice and Helicrysium Substitute Blend together in coconut oil. Before using this blend, she was very limited on standing and then walking the next day due to pain. She has been using the blend for 2 years or more and her pain has been greatly reduced! She is able to go about her normal life now without limping! She will not do anything before applying these every morning. It has been such a blessing for her! I tell so many, and so does she. God has given us so many things on this earth for healing, we have just lost so much through trusting modern medicine and not listening to those who have gone before us. - Maria

6. Nerve pain or Arctic Ice works great for my tennis elbow. - Donna

Safety
Children Caution due to Peppermint: Do not apply on or near the face of infants or young children. Oral use not recommended for children under 5. Diffuse with care (about 2 drops) around 3-6 year old children.

Medication Caution: High Blood Pressure, Antibiotics (Dr Jean Valnet noted that oils high in aldehydes, ketones and alcohols may inactivate antibiotics.)

Health Concerns
Smoking: Inhalation of Peppermint (high in menthol), will cause increased lung permeability of nicotine. Menthol also slows the ability to clear nicotine from the body. Those who smoke should allow several hours to elapse between cigarette use and inhalation of high menthol essential oils (per Rhiannon Harris).
Cardiac Fibrillation: As a cautionary measure, essential oils high in menthol (Peppermint) are best avoided because menthol has been associated with destabilization of heart rhythm. Tisserand notes that "exposure to menthol is not associated with any increase in morbidity or mortality in this population. (Tisserand/Young, page 656.)

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. Flushing with water will only send the essential oil back to the eye's membranes. 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. We’ve not known this to cause permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
