Description
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend is a complementary product to Five Allies 2022 Essential Oil Blend.
Both Five Allies 2022 Essential Oil Blend, and Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend are suitable for children, when used correctly.
However, Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend is the most suitable for really young children. This essential oil blend can be used indefinitely by children of two years and above. It is also suitable for adults on the same basis.
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend contains a proprietary blend of five essential oils, and is suitable for diffusing, nebulising and more traditional forms of steam inhalation.
As with Five Allies 2022 Essential Oil Blend, and all other essential oil blends, Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend is only suitable for topical application after being diluted with a suitable carrier oil.
Perhaps the best carrier oil for diluting all three of the Five Allies Essential Oil Blends is Organic Black Seed Oil, which is also known as Organic Nigella Sativa Oil. However, you can tailor your choice of carrier oil based on your specific needs.
Please refer to the Ultimate List Of All Carrier Oils to make choosing your carrier oil as easy as possible.
Testimonial:
A really beautiful oil! I bought this after reading the description and thought that it would be a great addition to our family first aid kit. I’ve already been using it this week as both kids have been unwell with colds and it has provided much comfort as well as smelling wonderful in the house. In addition, I’ve been using it as a night time facial oil (diluted of course) as the last step in my routine. I can honestly say that my skin has been looking so great in the morning when I wake up! This is a really versatile oil which is a must have for anyone.

Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend Uses
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend has many different uses. It is a first aid kit in a bottle! Once properly diluted, in a good carrier oil, it can be used to disinfect cuts and scrapes, and dabbed on burns. It will not only help to keep all wounds free of infection, it may also speed up healing and reduce scarring.
It may also help support us emotionally! Rub your pre-diluted Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend into your feet, before bedtime, to potentially improve sleep, and during the day after an upsetting experience.
Not Suitable For Topical Application Until Diluted
Wild As The Wind Essential Oil Blends are not suitable for topical application until they are diluted in a suitable carrier oil. This is also true of Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend.
This is because pure essential oils are very concentrated and should not be applied to our skin in their undiluted form. Please read on for more information, or refer to How To Use Essential Oils to learn more about diluting pure essential oils.
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend For Diffusing
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend is a pure essential oil blend that is suitable for diffusers and essential oil burners.
Add five drops of Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend to your diffuser, and replenish before your next diffusing session.
Only diffuse Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend for a maximum of 2 hours a day, and only do so intermittently.
Please refer to How To Use Essential Oils for more information about diffusing essential oils safely.
Wild As The Wind Five Allies Essential Oil Products
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend is part of a family of Wild As The Wind products, which also includes:
Five Allies 2022 Essential Oil Blend and Five Allies 2022 Essential Oil Blend are pure, undiluted essential oil blends, suitable for diffusing.
As with Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend, these essential oil blends are only suitable for topical application once they have been properly diluted in a suitable carrier oil.
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend Background
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend has been developed to provide support to young children, as well as adults. This unique blend of oils has many applications, making it a very affordable, multitasking part of any home first aid kit. It is gentle, but potent, with a pacifying aroma.
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend Usage Instructions
Perhaps the best way of using this oil blend is the method which involves the least fuss…
Simply place five drops of Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend on to a kitchen roll square, and place it into a clean jam jar, with a tightly fitting lid. Close it tightly when not in use.
Inhale by placing the opened jam jar directly beneath your nose, inhaling slowly through your nose for a minute or so. Exhale through your mouth, equally slowly, as per the Vagal breathing technique described in Vagal Breathing For Relaxation & Optimal Immunity.
Repeat up to ten times a day, but remember to replace the kitchen roll square every three days or so, before the Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend has time to oxidise.
Essential oils are made up of volatile organic compounds, which readily escape from the jam jar the moment you open it. This means that the benefits of this oil blend are immediately available and ready for you to inhale by simply following this technique.
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend is also suitable for diffusing in an electric diffuser.
Traditional Steam Inhalation
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend can be used via the traditional method of steam inhalation:
***Remove all makeup.
Place up to 5 drops of Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend in a large bowl of steaming hot water. Then lean forward until your face is hovering about 12 inches / 20 cm above the steaming hot water, and place a towel over your head and extend it to encompass the outer edges of the bowl.
This traps the essential oil infused steam so that the benefits are intensified.
Only stop when the water cools and no more steam is forthcoming.
Keep your eyes closed throughout.
***It’s a great idea to deep cleanse your facial skin with a Hydrosol Toner after a steam inhalation. This is because the steam really opens up your dermal pores, and so, cleansing with a good toner will allow a very deep cleanse of your pores.
Make Your Own Hand Sanitiser
Wild as the Wind is much loved for its natural hand sanitiser recipes. Not only are they non-toxic, natural alternatives to synthetic chemical hand sanitisers, which often leave hands cracked and dry, they also smell fantastic and make our hands feel like silk!
All you need to make your own natural Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend hand sanitiser is some Aloe Vera Gel and some Distilled Water, (mixed at a ratio of 50:50 in a spray atomiser bottle). This forms the base of your hand sanitiser.
Then, just add your Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend at a ratio of 20 drops per 100ml.
*****It is possible to alternate using this hand sanitiser with one made using Five Allies 2022 Essential Oil Blend. It’s always best to take a break from using products we rely on daily. This prevents the risk of bioaccumulating any of the ingredients in your daily products.
Diluting Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend For Topical Use
As mentioned, Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend must be properly diluted in a suitable carrier oil prior to topical application.
Organic Nigella Sativa Oil is ideal for this.
The following dilution advice is for adults.
*The stated dilution ratios should be at least halved for children, depending on their age.
**The dilution ratios should be further reduced to 1/4 of the stated amounts for children under the age of six years of age.
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend can be diluted at a maximum 5% dilution before local topical application can take place.
Nevertheless, it can be blended at a 1%, 2%, 3% or 4% dilution within your chosen carrier oil. These differing dilutions would still remain very effective for most applications.
If you intend to apply your diluted oil to a good-sized area, such as a full forearm, then use a maximum 3% dilution.
Larger surface areas should receive an even more diluted oil… 2% for a full arm, or for abdominal use, and a 1% dilution for any areas larger than this.
ALWAYS PERFORM A PATCH TEST BEFORE APPLYING A DILUTED OIL TO A LARGE AREA OF YOUR BODY!
Advice For Children
Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend should be diluted at differing degrees of strength depending on the age of the recipient. The guidelines for diluting Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend for local topical application are as follows:
- All those above the age of 14 years of age are fine with a 5% dilution.
- Those aged 10 to 14 years of age would be best with a 3% dilution.
- Those aged 6 to 10 years of age would be best with a 2% dilution.
- Children aged 2 to 6 years of age are best with a 1% dilution.
Local topical application = on a small area of skin. Examples include applying the pre-diluted Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend to a cut or a wound, etc.
Dilution levels need to be reduced for broader applications, such as abdominal application.
For body-wide application, your Five Gentle Allies Essential Oil Blend needs to be diluted even further.
Dilution Ratios
1% Dilution: c. 20 – 25 drops of essential oil blend in 100ml of carrier oil
2% Dilution: c. 40 – 45 drops of essential oil blend in 100ml of carrier oil
3% Dilution: c. 60 – 65 drops of essential oil blend in 100ml of carrier oil
4% Dilution: c. 80 – 90 drops of essential oil blend in 100ml of carrier oil
5% Dilution: c. 100 – 110 drops of essential oil blend in 100ml of carrier oil
Always err on the side of caution and use a lesser amount of essential oil blend if unsure.
