Love this for winter blahs
Currently diffusing this in my living room. Felt the need for something fresh with all the respiratory crud going on. The smell from the bottle is more strongly lime, but while diffusing the mint and Cinnamon dominate.

Love, love, love! I diffuse this ALL THE TIME in my home to cut down on the germs and kid scents floating around. It's delightful. Cinnamon hints but also sweet. It's hard to explain, but trust the reviews. It's a real winner!

Why isn't theives offered?
When it says 80% fractionated coconut oil, does that mean only 20% is essential oil?
BEST ANSWER: The 15 ml size is in a base of FCO. 80% FCO, 20% essential oil. We do have the 5 ml NEAT version of Flu Time that contains no carrier oil.
We dilute about half of our blends with FCO because they have luxury oils in them. This helps to keep the price affordable for our customers. We're now offering a 5 ml neat version for each of our 12 most popular 15 ml blends that are in a base of Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO).
The term "neat" means undiluted. Even though they are a little pricier, having a neat version of our blends will make it easier to dilute them correctly as well as diffuse with no worries. It also gives customers with coconut allergies a chance to the use our top blends. ​​
Thanks!

What carrier oil is best with immune strength?

Flu Time (Bolster)

BEST ANSWER: Any kind of nut oil or seed oil will work as a carrier oil. We usually recommend starting with Fractionated Coconut Oil as it has no scent, does not stain fabrics, has an indefinite shelf life and remains a stable liquid consistency for easy blending.

Since this is already diluted, how to I formulate the right dilution to put on my 7yr. old son, for instance, into a 10ml Roll-on bottle? Any help to this not so savvy math mom is appreciated!
BEST ANSWER: Great question! Even though this blend is in a base of FCO, we recommend that you always use additional carrier oil to protect the skin. For children over 2 years +, we would suggest blending 6 drops of the blend per 2 tsp of carrier oil in the 10 ml bottle. Please visit our dilution chart on the website for tips. https://www.rockymountainoils.com/dilution-rate

When would you use this vs Immune Strength or vice versa?
BEST ANSWER: Because each person possesses a unique body chemistry, people can react differently to certain oils. For that reason, we provide a variety of blends with similar properties to achieve the same therapeutic objective.
Both Immune Strength and Flu Time are used to help support the healthy function of the immune system. However, Immune Strength is considered the more potent of the two. Since it is not prediluted with FCO.

What’s the difference between flu time, sacred immune and immune?
BEST ANSWER: These blends are all very similar in what they are intended to do, however, they do have different ingredients. Because everyone reacts to oils differently we offer the two blends so that in case of one not giving the desired effect the other may be more beneficial. This is determined by each individual's body chemistry.
However, Flu Time and Sacred Immune Strength are safer for kids under the age of 6, unlike Immune Strength which is not recommended for kids under 10 due to the Eucalyptus.
