This is a very important note. Essential Oils must be used with great caution, as too high a dosage of some oils can become very toxic to the body. Oils are pretty safe when used properly. Before using an oil, always check it's safety precautions. These are NOT listed on the bottle. Any true essential oil, as applied in aromatherapy, medicines, perfumes, cosmetics and natural based chemicals, is highly concentrated in a bottled format and is primarily 99 times that of the natural plant. So that as with most concentrated substances, any misuse can create probelms and/or potential harm. Just to name a few: Very Toxic Oils: Use extreme caution if using at all. Hussop, Mugwort, Parsley Leaf and Seed, Pennyroyal, Sage, and Spanish Sage, White Camphor, Wintergreen. Semi Toxic Oils: Becomes increasingly toxic if used repeatedly over a period of time Birch, cassia, Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Clove, EUCALYPTUS, Fennel, Thyme. Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment, treating the whole person. There are times when it is not advisable to use it. Great care must be taken with any serious illness. There are many more safety rules to follow. If anyone wants to take the job of listing safety precautions, go for it!!! Tracy LM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
