Your safety is important to us! Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be handled with care. A working knowledge of how to use these oils is necessary in order to get the most benefits from them without causing harm.
- Use only 100% pure Essential oils.
- Keep oils tightly closed and out of the reach of children.
- Never consume undiluted oils.
- Do not use undiluted oils on the skin -- Lavender and Tea Tree oils are an exception. Skin test the essential oils on the arm for sensitivity or possible allergies. Several hours will be enough time to check for a reaction. If redness or irritation occurs, try a weaker solution or an alternate essential oil.
- Keep essential oils away from the eyes.
- If redness, burning, itching or irritation ever occurs with any Essential Oil, discontinue use immediately!
