Safety Information page

Essential oils must be treated with respect. Using aromatherapy shouldn't cause paranoia or undue worry. By reading the following carefully you should be well on your way to a great experience with aroma therapy.

Please note that this is just a guide line - when in doubt, consult your physician and/or a qualified and trained aromatherapy practitioner.

Essential oils should never be used undiluted on the skin. Lavender and tea tree are listed by a large number of aromatherapy sources as being oils that can be used undiluted. Undiluted use of lavender and tea tree, however, should only be done on rare occasion as severe sensitivity still may still occur in some individuals. Again, the safest rule of thumb is to never use any essential oil undiluted.
When using a new oil always do a patch test. To do a skin patch on a small area of skin place a small amount of the diluted essential oil (never use essential oils undiluted on the skin) on the inside of your elbow and apply a bandage. Wait 24 hours to see if there is any form of reaction. Even if a particular essential oil is not known to cause irritation, this step should not be ignored. Even if an oil does not irritate you, it still can irritate someone else. It is important that you always keep that in mind.
Some essential oils should be avoided during pregnancy or by those with asthma, epilepsy, or with other health conditions.
Not all essential oils are suitable for use in aromatherapy. Wormwood, pennyroyal, onion, camphor, horseradish, wintergreen, rue, bitter almond and sassafras are some of the essential oils that should only be used by qualified aromatherapy practitioners, if ever at all.
Never let children use essential oils without the presence of an adult knowledgeable about their use. Many essential oils such as citrus & lemon oils can smell like they are safe to drink. because of this keep your essential oils away from children. Treat the oils like medicines that are poison in unknowing hands.
Essential oils should not be taken internally. Essential oils should only be taken internally after receiving a detailed consultation and prescription from a trained and qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
Essential oils are flammable. Please keep them out of the way of fire hazards
