Diffusing the Vagabond oil blend
Diffuse 5-6 drops of Vagabond Oil for 15 minutes three or four times a day in an ultrasonic essential oil diffuser. This can help defend against infectious germs. This is valuable during cold and flu season or during infectious outbreaks.

Diffuse Vagabond essential oil blend for 15–30 minutes in your home or office to help eliminate airborne bacteria.

Use the diffuser in the bedroom of anyone who is sick, while they sleep at night. This gets a continuous flow of the therapeutic oils into the respiratory tract and will help alleviate the symptoms. Using an ultrasonic diffuser does not breakdown the molecules of the essential oils in the Vagabond blend, therefore keeping the therapeutic benefits of the Vagabond oil intact.

ESSENTIAL OILS

Each unique plant essential oil has healing properties both through the strong smell and when used as medicine as well...

Essential oils are aromatic compounds extracted from a number of different plants. They are also known as volatile oils because they evaporate so quickly, which is also how they create such a strong aroma in the air. Because of this ability to quickly create strong scents, these oils are often used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and other scented products.

How are they made?
Essential oils are extracted from the plant by steam distillation, cold pressing, or solvent extraction. Good quality products create a pure product that will evaporate cleanly if dripped on a piece of paper. Each type of extraction is used for different plant materials. Solvent extraction is used for substances like flowers that contain very little volatile oil, and those that can be damaged by the temperatures used in steam distillation. Solvents used are hexane or supercritical carbon dioxide. Because carbon dioxide evaporates quickly when the temperature is raised to normal, it is the preferred solvent extraction method to maintain purity. Solvent extraction performed at lower temperatures is preferred to maintain the integrity of the active compounds.

Medicinal Properties
The benefits of essential oils are as diverse as the oils themselves. Some are diluted and used as skin treatments for acne or rashes, while others are used for internal use to fight infection or even help to treat specific diseases. Often current research will focus on specific compounds found in essential oils, to determine which one is responsible for their medicinal benefits. More traditional herbalists believe that it is the synergy between all of the active constituents in the oil that provide the full benefit. In some cases, the benefits of essential oils can simply be attributed to the effect of their scent on the brain. To stimulate the limbic system in the brain, essential oils are often used for aromatherapy in combination with massage and other balancing techniques.

Dilution
Because of their extremely concentrated state, it is important to dilute essential oils in other high quality carrier oils like olive, almond, grape seed, or sesame. Keeping in the spirit of oil not mixing with water, an essential oil can only be diluted by mixing it with another oil. When essential oils are used without being diluted, they can cause severe skin irritation, gastrointestinal upset and even liver damage in the long term. Certain essential oils are not for internal use, and can be toxic even in small amounts.

Storage
Because of their volatile nature, essential oils can react with their storage containers, particularly those made of rubber or plastic. In general, essential oils are best handled with glass pipettes, and glass storage bottles. Keep products away from pets, as essential oils can be toxic to some animals, particularly cats.

ESSENTIAL OILS IMPORTANT INFORMATION
For aromatherapy use. For all other uses, carefully dilute with a carrier oil such as jojoba, grape seed, olive, or almond oil prior to use.
