SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To get the best results when using essential oils and to avoid
developing hazardous side effects you should:
1. Always conduct a skin patch test before using a new essential oil.
Do this by applying the essential oil that has been diluted with a carrier oil on the inner aspect of your
elbow, bandage it and wait for 24 hours to see if you will develop rashes or
itchiness or swelling or any other sign of an allergic reaction. If you do, do
not use that essential oil.
2. Always buy your
essential oils from a reputable vendor to ensure you use high quality
therapeutic grade essential oils in your blends.
3. Do not confuse
essential oils with fragrance oils since the latter do not have the natural
healing benefits of essential oils.
