Tips for Safe Essential Oil Usage:
- Essential Oils are not for ingestion
- For topical usage, always dilute the essential oil with Apricot Oil or any other carrier oil of your choice.
- Like with any new product, do a patch test before applying.
- women, people with allergies, and people with special conditions should seek doctor’s advice before using.
Important:
There is no fixed recipe when it comes to essential oils and what might work for you might not work for someone else. Since we are all biochemically exclusive, it's best to experiment with a variety of essential oils, pay attention to your body, and find the "personal blends" that work most optimally for you.
The thumb rule to keep in mind for all Essential Oil usage is the dilution should be kept at 5%. Essential Oils are very strong and potent and should be used sparingly. Please maintain caution on usage.
