GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Keep out of reach of children and away from pets. Do not ingest by mouth. Essential oils should not be taken internally. Essential oils are flammable.
Some oils can cause sensitization or allergic reactions in some individuals. When using a new oil for the first time, do a skin patch test on a small area of skin. Place a small amount
of the diluted essential oil on the inside of your elbow and apply a bandage. Wait 24 hours - discontinue use if there is any form of reaction.
Proceed carefully and with guidance if the following conditions exist:
- Pregnancy - you may want to avoid all essential oils during your pregnancy. (Generally speaking, all Essential Oils that contain a reasonable amount of ketones need to be used with care during )

It may be helpful to check the chemical composition (major components) in each of the Essential Oils in which you are most interested. Please consult a certified aromatherapist for more information.
HOW TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS
Bath, Hot Tub, or Sauna: 6-10 drops in warm water. Put drops into the water immediately before entering. Gently stir the water to disperse the oil. For sauna, dilute the oil with 90% water and spray on rocks or into the air.
Compress: Put 3-5 drops into a hot or cold basin of water. Cold water contracts the tissues and warm water relaxes the tissues. Fold up a clean cloth and dip it into the water. Squeeze out the excess water. Apply immediately to the painful area.
Facial Steam: One drop of oil per cup of boiling water. Put the drops into the basin after the water is drawn. Gently stir the water to disperse the oil. Immediately place a towel over your head and move your face as close to the aromatic steam as is comfortable.
Massage: Use up to 15 drops of essential oil per 1 oz. of blending oil such as sweet almond, grapeseed, jojoba, or apricot kernel oils.
Environmental Fragrancing: Electric diffusers are a simple and effective way to fragrance a room for aesthetic and therapeutic benefits. Do not use carrier oils in diffusers as they will clog and not disperse. Use essential oils alone or use synergies of pure essential oils.
Diffusers eliminate the need for aerosol fresheners.
Inhalation: Recommended for respiratory problems, colds, headaches, sinuses, and coughs. Use 3 to 5 drops of an essential oil on a tissue or handkerchief. Hold it under your nose and then breathe deeply.
Essential oils are very concentrated, so use with extreme care. For external use only.
Please consult a certified aromatherapist for more information.
