Safety Advice

• Pure essential oils are highly concentrated substances that should always be treated with due respect.
• Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the properties and uses of each individual oil you intend to use and take note of all cautions.
• Never take essential oils internally!
• Do not apply essential oils neat (undiluted) to the skin. The recommended Aromatherapy standard dilution is 1 - 3%, though certain oils may be used in higher or lower dilutions. Consider each case individually.
• Always adhere to recommended safety standards and recommended dilution ratios.
• If you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies test oil blends on a small area of the inner arm prior to general use.
• Keep oils out of reach of children and pets.
• Never allow essential oils to enter the eyes.
• If you are pregnant, consult a qualified aromatherapist for suitability and safety of specific oils.
• If you suffer from serious medical conditions such as (but not exclusively) high blood pressure, cancer, thrombosis, varicose veins or epilepsy, consult a qualified aromatherapist for professional advice on recommended oils and dosages.
• We support the notion of people taking responsibility for their own well being. However, if symptoms persist or re-occur or you are suffering from a serious medical condition, or if you are presently taking prescription drugs, we recommend that you consult a qualified doctor or practitioner before attempting to help yourself. Look for a practitioner/doctor who you can trust and who is prepared to work with you in exploring natural health alternatives.
