A beginner's guide on how to enjoy the aromatic and therapeutic benefits of essential oils safely.

Are essential oils safe to use?

Yes, as long as you:

Follow the safety guidelines when using oils

Avoid using the oil beyond the recommended usage time and/or amount

One important thing to remember is that essential oils are highly concentrated. One bottle of essential oil is equivalent to plenty of cups of herbal tea.

How to make your essential oils safe to use?

The road to essential oil safety divides into two: the path of dilution, and the short-but-sweet trail of the patch test.

Dilution

This process lowers the concentration of essential oils and shields you away from any adverse reactions like allergies.

Patch Test

Not sure if an essential oil is safe for your skin as a topical solution? Do a simple patch test first before using it wholeheartedly.

General essential oil safety measures to remember

1. Keep your stock of essential oils out of reach of children and pets.

2. Do not exceed more than the ideal times of diffusing essential oils.

3. Don't use photosensitizing oils like citrus oils if you're planning to stay under the sun.

4. Before anything else, check the label of your essential oil.

5. Never ingest essential oils unless advised by a health practioner or the oil is specially formulated for ingesting.
