A little education won't kill you!

This is the easiest way to use Essential Oils on yourself and others. And FYI: it really does work, I implement the practice everyday on myself with the Aroma Touch Kit. Among its many benefits are stress management, immune support, inflammatory response, and autonomic balance. The kit includes a 5 ml bottle of each of the following doTERRA essential oils: Balance, Lavender, Melaleuca, On Guard, Aroma Touch, Deep Blue, Wild Orange, and Peppermint.

A reflexology chart mirrors a reflection of the body on the feet and hands, left foot or hand representing the body's left half and right foot or hand its right half. In reflexology practice, technique is applied to the relevant reflex area(s) to prompt a change in the related part of the body. Research has demonstrated such effects for several reflex areas and their reflected parts of the body, i. e. the kidney reflex areas and the kidneys; the intestine reflex areas and the intestines and the brain reflex area and the brain.
