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. The maximum topical use limit is 5% due to Birch.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Take Time is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. Due to Birch, the oral daily limit is about 3 drops of Take Time. 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.

1. I asked Linda to make up an oil similar to one I had been using. I often have stiff shoulders and neck and need some relief. Linda combined some oils and came up with "Take Time," and I LOVE IT! It penetrates my skin and relaxes the tension. It feels great on the skin, and I can still feel it even 30 minutes later. The smell is a treat too! Try this. You'll be glad you did! - H.L.

2. I recently discovered "Take Time" when I was looking for a remedy for my severe headache. Normally I would turn to PainX, but decided to try this instead. Oh my, I am completely amazed at how quickly and effectively this blend works! It has definitely become my new favorite. It also works wonders for sore, achy muscles. Thank you so much!! - Paula

Safety
Possible skin sensitivity. Avoid using on infants and very small children.

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.
