Safety guidelines
Please note the following prior to the use of any essential oils:
-
Allergies
We recommend that people with allergies should test a tiny amount of oil on a small area on the inside of their arm before using the oil.
-
Epilepsy & high blood pressure
It is recommended that certain oils should be avoided by those suffering from epilepsy or high blood pressure. Please read contraindications carefully and consult your physician if in doubt.
-
Pregnancy
There are a number of essential oils which are contraindicated during pregnancy, although the list will change with each book or website used. We do not advise using essential oils during pregnancy as people may react differently and we do not have access to individual’s case histories. Having said that, it is known that there are many essential oils that are useful during pregnancy and labour. Therefore we advise our customers to read information available in books and on the internet and to make informed choices about the products you use.
