Guest guest Posted March 2, 2000 Report Share Posted March 2, 2000 Hi everyone Just found a list in the Tisserand/Balacs book 'Essential Oil Safety' of oils not to be used at all in anyone suspected of being vulnerable to seizures, or in anyone with a fever: all artemisias, wormwood, armoise, camphor, buchu, camphor, ho leaf, hyssop, lanyana, lavender cotton, pennyroyal, sage, tansy, thuja, Western red cedar. All these contain the following ketones: artemisia ketone, thujone, camphor, pulegone, pinocamphone. But not all ketones are convulsants. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2000 Report Share Posted March 5, 2000 I believe all the EO's you have mentioned are spoken about in other books, although they give the information on them it specifically states not for use in Aromatherapy.
