To ensure that your experience using essential oil is a pleasant one the following guidelines are suggested:

Exercise caution when applying to the skin if you have used or been exposed to:
Cosmetics, personal care products
Soaps and cleansers (synthetic chemicals)
Petroleum based chemicals

Essential oils can react with toxins built up in the body from chemicals in:
Food, water, and work environment

If you experience a reaction to essential oils, it may be wise to temporarily discontinue their use and start an internal cleansing program (30 days using the Cleansing Trio) before resuming regular use of essential oils. Never
apply oils into the eye or near surrounding area!!!
 

GUIDELINES FOR SAFE USE:

  Always keep a bottle of V-6 Mixing Oil or any pure vegetable oil handy when using essential oils. Vegetable oils dilute essential oils if they cause discomfort or skin irritation.

  Keep bottles of essential oils tightly closed and store in a location away from light. If stored properly essential oils will maintain their potency for many years.

  Keep essential oils out of the reach of children.  Menthol rich oils (such as Peppermint) should not be used on the throat or neck area of children under 30 months of age.

  Direct sunlight and essential oils – Lemon, bergamot, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, White Angelica, and other citrus oils (marked with an orange drop) may cause a rash or darker pigmentation if applied to skin exposed to direct sunlight or  UV rays within 3 to 4 days.

  Keep essential oils away from eye area and do not put into ears. Do not handle contact lenses or rub eyes with essential oils with your fingers. Oils with high phenol content (oregano, cinnamon, thyme, clove, lemongrass, bergamot, Thieves, and ImmuPower) may damage contacts and irritate eyes.

  Pregnant women should consult their health care professional before using essential oils and avoid Idaho tansy and oils containing constituents with hormone-like activity, such as clary sage, sage, and fennel.

  Epileptics and people with high blood pressure should consult health care professionals before using essential oils.  Avoid hyssop, fennel, and Idaho tansy oils.

  People with allergies should test a small amount of oil on a small area of sensitive skin, such as the inside of the arm or the bottom of the feet (the safest and most effective places to use the oils).

  Before taking GRAS essential oils internally, always dilute with an oil soluble liquid like honey, olive oil, or soy milk.
 
  Do not add undiluted essential oils directly to bathwater: especially oils marked with a red drop.

  Use Bath Gel Base as a dispersing agent for all oils applied to your bath.


TAP INTO THERAPEUTIC GRADE ESSENTIAL OILS AND THEIR POWER SAFELY!

Direct Application:

Essential oils are soluble with the lipid membranes of cell walls. Therefore they have an unmatched ability to penetrate cells and disperse within minutes throughout the body. Think! Nicotine and hormone skin patches rely on transdermal absorption to deliver drugs throughout the body.

Always skin test an essential oil before using it. Apply to a small area first.

Apply one oil or oil blend at a time. When layering oils not used before, allow enough time (15 – 20 min.) for the body to respond before applying a second oil.

If maximum benefit is desired, the longer the essential oils stay in contact with the skin the more likely they are to be absorbed. Rose Ointment is designed to be layered on top of essential oils to reduce evaporation and enhance penetration.
