This app features 6 different sections—Personal Usage Guide, Application, Single Oils, Oil Blends, Notes, and Store. The first four sections have been condensed from the Reference Guide for Essential Oils to provide you with the most used information needed on the go. The Notes section allows you to view the notes you have made throughout the app. The Store button will lead you to AbundantHealth4u.com so you have quick access to purchase the essential oil–related accessories you need!

When you go into the Personal Guide section, you will see a list of over 700 conditions in alphabetical order. Just scroll through until you find the condition you are looking for! You can also use the alphabet displayed on the right to jump to different sections within this guide. If you know what condition you are looking for, you can quickly find it by using the search bar at the top of the screen. When you click on one of these conditions, you will find a brief explanation of the condition as well as the recommended oils. The oils in green are the most effective for that condition, and the oils in purple are secondary recommendations.

Included in this app is the ability to take notes. While you are viewing a condition, single oil, or oil blend, you can simply click the “Notes” icon at the bottom of the screen and start typing. To view all of your notes together, just go to the Notes section from the main screen. Once in the Notes section of the app, you can view your notes according to the section you typed them in.

The “Application” button will take you to a series of pages providing basic information about the topical, aromatic, and internal applications of essential oils. This section contains some information provided in the Science & Application section of the Reference Guide. You will find concise information about application methods, body systems, auricular therapy, reflex therapy, and emotional release as well as charts and diagrams featuring these topics.

Learn more about single essential oils and essential oil blends and their common uses. This app features over 100 single oils and 90 essential oil blends with information extracted from Reference Guide for Essential Oils–Botanical Family, Extraction Method/Origin, Chemical Constituents, Historical Uses, Common Uses, etc. If you use an essential oil for something not listed in the app or have your own blend, just tap on the “Notes” icon at the bottom of the screen, and write it down. You can access these notes along with your other notes in the notes section of the app.
