Essential Oil Safety
Essential Oils are highly concentrated and should be treated with
respect.
Essential Oils are extremely easy and safe to use at home, for their
beautiful aromas and perfumery qualities as well as their medicinal
soothing and healing properties. BUT, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Sensible use
and low concentrations are the key. These oils are powerful natural
substances that should be lovingly stored and used, with humility and
care.
- Always dilute in base oil before being applied to the skin.
It is highly recommended to try a variety of pre-mixed blends before
attempting your own. However it is fun and easy to make your own
with base oil and your own mix of essential oils. Just stick to
these two general rules, never too much, never too many. A few
drops of
two or three oils with 5 table spoons of base oil will make enough
for an adult to enjoy a full body massage.
- Do not use on infants.
Essential oils are not appropriate for infants. Dilutions for children
and the elderly should be at least half the recommended dose but
we have always recommended that essential oils should only be used
for adults. Under the professional supervision of trained and qualified
Aroma therapists, essential oils play an important medicinal role.
But unless you are suitably qualified, we would strongly recommend
that oils are kept out of contact with, sight of and reach of children.
- Certain
Citrus oils are photosensitive
This means that you should avoid going in the sun (not that we
get much sun in England!) after using them.
- Always keep out of
reach of children and away from the eyes.
- Always store in a dark
cupboard away from direct sunlight.
- Never take internally unless
professionally advised.
- If you suffer from epilepsy, high or
low blood pressure,
Please seek the advice of a professional aroma therapist or medical
practitioner before use. These conditions are often related to
exactly the complex organic compounds found in Essential Oils,
putting you
at an even greater risk. However essential oils are perfectly safe
for the vast majority of healthy adults.
If you are pregnant
Please seek the advice of a qualified aroma therapist if you are pregnant
and uncertain which oils can and can't be used during this time. Certain
essential oils should be avoided altogether (e.g. Cedar wood and Rosemary)
and some are best avoided for the first four months (e.g. Peppermint).
We are providing general information on this website and it is by

case and would therefore recommend you seek the advice from a qualified
aroma therapist or practitioner before treating any medical condition.
We can not be held responsible for any adverse effects which may occur

with
