Aromatherapy Tips and Hints:
-
Always store essential oils in tightly closed coloured glass bottles and keep out of direct sunlight.
-
Always use hot water for vapourisers and oil burners then add your favourite essential oils.
-
Pure essential oils are volatile and should not be taken internally.
-
If you are taking homeopathic medicines, avoid eucalyptus and peppermint as they may counteract the homeopathic effects.
-
Do not use essential oils during pregnancy
-
Essential Oils should not be used directly on the skin with the exception of Lavender and in some instances, Tea tree.
-
Essential Oils are added to 'carrier' oils for application on the skin
-
If you do not have a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil, Olive oil (used for cooking) makes a great alternative!
