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.

Since Tropical Trio 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

Children: For infants and children, please refer to the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Lymph issues: Massage under the arms and over lymph glands.

Phototoxic Caution: Grapefruit and Lemon are photosensitizing. Severe burns may result if you apply to skin that will be exposed to the sun or UV light. Avoid direct sunlight for 3 to 6 hours after use unless diluted at 4%.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler

Internal: Tropical Trio 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 internally." 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.

Ideally, drink 1/2 of your body weight in ounces of filtered water daily.

Kurt Schnaubelt notes that Lemon [citrus oils] are suitable for "casual ingestion in a glass of water." He notes that 1-3 drops of Lemon "induces detoxification and cleansing."

Robert Tisserand wrote: “Perhaps paradoxically, some essential oils have shown liver-protective effects in animal studies. This is NOT detoxifying the liver, but protecting it from toxicity from a specific substance, for example from chronic alcohol abuse or high-dose acetaminophen. Toxic effects may include oxidative stress and fatty liver. This will not apply to you unless you are taking these substances. And it may not apply at all, since currently there is no clinical evidence - no evidence that this works the same in humans as it does in rodents. It’s also important to understand that the essential oils which are the strongest antioxidants with liver-protective effects (clove, thyme, oregano…) only have this effect in low doses. In high doses the effect reverses, becoming pro-oxidant, and this is potentially harmful, especially to the liver. Therefore an essential oil heavy “detox” program makes little or no sense. You can read more on this topic here: Essential Oils and the Detox Theory."

1. I am doing a little project on 2 gals with weight issues, which is highly emotionally induced. Tropical Trio would not work on them until I added some Bach Flowers, then it works well:) - Cinda

2. I love the taste of the Topical Trio. I add it to water first thing in the morning and sip it through a straw. It has affected my appetite like nothing else has. I enjoy adding it to sun tea as well. Adding it to my weight loss routine has given me the kick start I needed to get off a plateau. - Sheri

3. When I drink a few drops in water at bedtime I find that I don't wake up with swollen hands and feet. My two daughters with active Lyme disease are using it in hopes that it helps with lymph drainage. - Katy

4. I love the smell of this blend, and when I am getting a headache, rubbing it on the back of my neck helps me tremendously. - Emily

Safety
Phototoxic Caution: Grapefruit and Lemon may be photosensitizing. Severe burns may result if you apply to skin that will be exposed to the sun or UV light. Avoid direct sunlight for 3 to 6 hours after use. 4% dilution is considered safe.

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.
