Essential Oil Safety

Essential oil safety involves understanding that these concentrated plant extracts can be potent and should be used with care. They may cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, or interfere with medications if misused. Always dilute essential oils before applying to the skin, perform a patch test, and avoid ingestion unless advised by a healthcare professional. Keep oils out of reach of children and pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. Use high-quality, pure oils and follow recommended guidelines for inhalation or topical use. Respect the potency of essential oils to enjoy their benefits safely without adverse effects.
