General Safety Considerations for Essential Oil Use

Keep essential oils, absolutes, synergies and blends out of reach of children.
Do not use directly on or near the eyes. Ensure caution with compresses. Most diluted essential oils will still sting the eyes. If accidents happen, immediately flush with vegetable oil or cold full fat milk to dilute. If stinging is not alleviated, seek medical assistance.
Do not, unless otherwise advised by an expert, apply neat essential oils onto the skin.
To remove spills on hands, use a hand cream or vegetable oil to dilute, apply soap, wash with warm water. This may need to be repeated several times.
Never assume that an essential oil will have the same properties as credited to the whole plant from which it is obtained. Some essential oils can be up to 100,000 times stronger than the dried herb.
Ingesting any oil should only be undertaken under the supervision of a professional health advisor and never exceed the suggested amount.
Essential oils should always be used diluted over a large body area.
Excess of essential oils may cause headaches, nausea and general feeling of uneasiness or sickness. Drink plenty of water and get fresh air.
Do not drive a motor vehicle (or allow a client to) immediately following a relaxation treatment or after using soporific oils (e.g., clary sage).
Regulate the frequency when using essential oils. If used daily over a two week period, give a week's grace before recommencing treatment.
Reduce the chance of acquiring a sensitivity reaction from constant use of same oil(s) over several years by varying choices. This gives the body a break from constant use.
If any kind of skin rash is observed when using a particular essential oil, stop using it immediately and try another oil.

When working daily with essential oils, follow these precautions:

Use only safe essential oils in dilution; avoid contact with neat oils (by wearing gloves).
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Take frequent breaks.
Avoid transferring oils to sensitive areas (nose, face, neck).
Vary the essential oils worked with (or diffused) daily.
Avoid sensitizing oils if hands become cracked or sore.
Our Synergistic Blends contain therapeutic quality essential oils and / or absolutes. Please dilute before use.
