How to Use:

• Shake Well: Before each use, shake the bottle well to ensure the essential oils are evenly distributed.
• Spray: Hold the bottle about 6-8 inches away from your skin and spray onto your neck, chest, and any other areas where you feel hot or sweaty.
• Reapply as Needed: Use the spray whenever you experience a hot flash or feel overheated. It’s safe to use multiple times a day.
• Storage: Keep the spray in a cool, dark place to preserve the efficacy of the essential oils. A refrigerator is a good option for extra cooling relief.

Tips:

• Patch Test: Before using the spray extensively, do a patch test on a small area of your skin to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions.
• Cooling Effect: For an extra cooling effect, store the spray bottle in the refrigerator.
• Hydration: Along with using the spray, stay hydrated and dress in lightweight, breathable clothing to help manage hot flashes.
