Common "Scents" Precautions
Therapeutic-grade essential oils are strong and safe when used as
directed. Below are some precautions that help you have an enjoyable
experience using Young Living Essential Oils.
1. Read the label on the bottle before using essential oils.
2. Keep lids securely fastened and out of the reach of children.
3. Therapeutic grade essential oils may be used at full strength. An
exception to this would be if one were to apply a "hot oil" such as
cinnamon or oregano which would need to be "cooled down" with a
carrier oil. Another exception would occur when applying oils to
children. However, it is advisable to test a small amount of an oil
the first time it is used on the soft, underside of your arm to see
if there is a reaction. If an oil starts to irritate, rub the area
with vegetable oil. Water will not work to cool oils.
Please note that in a few instances there may be a temporary
detoxification reaction when using pure essential oils (which is a
good thing). This is not an allergic reaction.
What should you do if you experience a detox reaction? Back off the
oil for a period of time while you work on cleansing, fasting or
eating healthy foods, and drinking lots of water to help flush out
toxins. With time, the reaction will disappear and you will be in a
healthier state .
4. Keep oils out of your eyes, ears, and away from mucous membranes.
If you get oil in your eye, soothe with a drop of vegetable oil.
Washing the eye with water does not help.
5. Be aware that citrus oils may cause an increased reaction to the
sun. Avoid prolonged sunbathing after applying pure citrus oils to
the skin.
6. Do not use essential oils when pregnant without the supervision of
a health professional.
I am are happy to help answer any questions that you have after
