10 precautions to take with essential oils

We never use the oral route. Unless these oils are of course sold in the form of a food supplement.

We do not use pure essential oils except in exceptional cases specified.

We do not interrupt a medical treatment to substitute it for a treatment with essential oils

Ask your doctor or pharmacist how they should be used

Do not use essential oils when you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or in children under 7 years old and 12 years old for some. We also avoid using them on people with asthmatic or allergic allergies.

On sensitive people, we do a skin tolerance test by placing a drop on the crease of the elbow.

In case of contact with the eye, do not start by soothing by pouring vegetable oil (cooking oil) in which the essential oils will dissolve. Then rinse with warm water to reduce the burning sensation and consult a doctor.

Wash your hands after handling the essential oils and close the bottles tightly.

Never leave oils within reach or sight of children.

We do not trust the recipe found on the internet and particularly in the forums. People copying recipes without checking them can be wrong. We trust our doctor or books written by doctors.
