Tummy Tonic is a potent botanical blend. To ensure a comfortable and safe experience for everyone in your home, please follow these guidelines:
For Adults & Teens: Apply 3–5 drops directly to the abdomen and massage in.
For Children (Ages 6–12): We recommend a "Double Dilution." Mix 2 drops of Tummy Tonic with a teaspoon of plain carrier oil (like extra sunflower or coconut oil) before applying.
For Sensitive Skin: Always perform a patch test on the inside of the wrist. Wait 15 minutes to ensure no redness or irritation occurs before applying to the stomach.
The "Clockwise" Rule: Always massage in a clockwise circle. This follows the natural flow of your large intestine and helps physically move gas and "sluggishness" through your system.
Important Precautions:
Avoid Heat Pads: Do not use a heating pad immediately after applying Tummy Tonic. The Peppermint and Ginger create their own "sensory heat," and adding external heat can cause skin irritation.
Keep Away from Eyes: Peppermint oil is very strong. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap after application to avoid accidentally stinging your eyes or face.
Pregnancy: If you are pregnant, consult your healthcare provider before use, as Fennel and Ginger oils are highly concentrated.
Not for Ingestion: This is a topical-only product. Do not take it internally.
To keep your Tummy Tonic fresh and effective:
Avoid Sunlight: Store in a cool, dark cupboard. Sunlight can break down the Lemon and Ginger oils, reducing their effectiveness.
Seal Tight: Ensure the cap is tight to prevent the volatile Peppermint oils from evaporating.
FAQ "Why does my skin feel tingly?"
"It’s perfectly normal! The 'tingle' is the Peppermint oil increasing localized blood flow and the Ginger oil providing a gentle warming sensation. This contrast is what helps distract the nerves from cramping and discomfort."
