Don't Detox Like I Did!!

I was just thinking back to my early oils days. I truly didn't understand how powerful essential oils were and threw my body into a cleanse. A cleanse is when your body is dumping more toxins into your system than it can handle. Since the skin is your largest organ, the most common cleansing reaction is to break out in a red, speckled rash. It can be just a rash, can itch or burn, or both. I broke out all over and was miserable. What did I do?
I quit using the oils completely for several days to give my body a chance to catch up. I drank lots of water and upped my YLEO Cleansing Trio use (the Cleansing Trio consists of Essentialzyme-digestive enzymes, Comfortone-intestinal conditioner, and ICP-fiber), particularly the Comfortone and ICP. I pretty much had one bad afternoon where I was darned uncomfortable. It only took a few days for me to be back to using the oils, but this time I followed the rule that more was not better - I had lived that lesson! - and only used 1 to 3 drops at a time as well as using a mixing oil if I wanted to cover more area. YLEO's V-6 mixing oil is wonderful, and I have also used coconut oil.
