Purification is great at purifying things! You can use it to purify the air, surfaces, your skin (scrapes or blemishes), even water (but don't drink it!). It also has a lot of citrus in it which means it is a super great mood elevator.
IDEAS FOR USE:
1. Diffuse to help neutralize any odor in the home, boost immunity, or just freshen up a room. Mixes well with Lemon.
2. Apply to a cut or scrape before putting on a band-aid.
3. Add 2-3 drops to a load of extra stinky laundry (directly in the drum or the soap dispenser) to freshen up.
4. Rub diluted on the neck with Lemon for a sore throat.
5. Apply a drop to a blemish at night before bed.
TIPS:
Purification has citrus oils in it which means when applied to skin will make the skin sensitive to the sun. If applying to skin, just be sure it's covered when in direct sunlight for the next 4-6 hours, or use at night!

Thieves oil is Young Living's proprietary blend of powerhouse oils formulated specifically to support the immune system in the best way possible. A study conducted by Weber State in 1997 showed that after just 10 minutes of diffusing in the air, 82% of a gram positive organism was reduced, 96% of a gram negative organism, and 44% less of streptococcus aeruginosa. Long story short, it zaps the germs and lots of different kinds of them.
