Do not put oils in eyes, ears, or up nose!
- If you get oil in your eye, apply 1-2 drops of carrier oil to the eye to ease the burning. Do not use water!!
- Citrus oils can cause photo-sensitivity (this means your skin may and will burn when exposed to UV light). Do not apply to exposed skin prior to being in the sun.
- Please reference oil/drug interactions in the books. Caution for epilepsy.
- Always use glass containers, not plastic, with your oils.
- Apply a small amount of oil to your skin to test for a skin reaction before using.
- Should you have irritation, redness, itching, or burning, apply a carrier oil (coconut oil, olive oil, or a natural vegetable based oil) to the area to dilute the essential oil and stop the sensation. DO NOT USE WATER!!
