Important Note: The information provided in the Oil Profiles area is for educational purposes only. This data is not considered complete and is not guaranteed to be accurate.

General Safety Information: Do not take any oils internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated essences onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test should be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before. Instructions on conducting a skin patch test and more safety information can be found by visiting the Safety Information page.

Answer 3

Be sure to purchase essential oils and not fragrance oils which are synthetic chemicals.
The health food stores carry small bottles, less than an ounce. Make sure they are dark glass and PURE essential oils.
The health food store will have information about each oil, how to use it and cautions. I know the NOW brand has a brochure with details on each oil and their uses.
Remember, these oils are concentrated and not to be used neat (full strength) on the skin. So use care when working with your aromatherapy and enjoy. It works wonders for me.

It's curious why someone would give a thumb's down for this information. I have worked with eo's for 15 years and passed on some important information.
