Safety Tips
The following safety precautions are only guidelines. You should always consult with a certified Aromatherapist about essential oil usage and always inform your primary care physician what you are using as they may not be conducive with his/her prescribed therapy and medications.
Always keep essential oils in a secure place away from children and pets.
The term 'natural' does not guarantee safety, read and follow all instructions carefully.
Unless otherwise stated, you should never use essential oils on your skin without diluting the essential oil with a carrier oil. A skin test is recommended prior to use. Place a small amount of the blended oil on the inside of your elbow, cover with a bandage and check in 24 hours. If you experience any soreness, redness or irritation do not use the blend.
If an essential oil or essential oil blend gets into your eye, flush the eye immediately with clean water or cold milk. Seek medical attention if the stinging and/or irritation continues.
Essential oils do not necessarily have the same healing properties of the plant it comes from. Herbal products sometimes contain different chemical components than the essential oil derived from the same plant. Therapeutic results may be experienced when using an herbal product from that of a blended essential oil.
Use a variety of essential oils and make sure you take breaks from the essential oils you use often. This will avoid sensitization and irritation. The standard is to use a blend for 4-5 days, take a minimum of 4-5 days off and substitute with an alternative blend that provides the same benefit.
