Possible Accidents with Essential Oils*

 

If you spill a neat {aka undiluted} essential oil on your skin or develop an allergic reaction......

Splash plenty of cold water over the area for at least twenty minutes.

If irritation persists, consult a health care professional.

If poisoning is suspected telephone a general practitioner or go to the emergency room.

*Babies and Children*

The quantities used for children should always be only a quarter of the amount used for adults.

Babies should not be exposed to oils that are possible irritants.

*0-6 months: The only oils that should be used at this stage are Lavender and Roman Chamomile.

Add one drop of essential oil to 10 ml 2 tsp of Sweet Almond or Jojoba oil for a massage or use in a room diffuser.

*6-12 months: Use only Aniseed, Chamomile, Roman Chamomile, Lavender, Mandarin, Neroli and Rose.

*1-6 years: Use only Aniseed, Chamomile, Roman Chamomile, Coriander, Lavender, Mandarin, Neroli, Orange, Palmarosa, Rose, Rosewood, and Tea Tree.

*7-12 years: Use essential oils as they are intended, but avoid Basil. Quarter the dosage given for adults.

**Keep all essential oils out of the reach of children.

*Pregnancy*

The only oil that should be avoided during pregnancy {until otherwise researched} is Sage.

*Heart Problems*

Peppermint should be avoided by those who suffer from cardiac fibrillation.
