⚠️ Essential Oil Safety & Disclaimer
For Your Well-Being: Essential oils are powerful plant extracts. Use them mindfully with these guidelines:
🚨 Must-Know Safety (Non-Negotiable):
- External use only – Never ingest unless under direct supervision of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
- Always dilute – 1–2% dilution for adults (about 6–12 drops per 1 oz carrier oil).
- Patch test first – Apply diluted oil to inner elbow; wait 24 hours for reactions.
- Keep away from children and pets – Store securely in a locked cabinet.
- Avoid eyes, ears, and mucous membranes – If contact occurs, flush with carrier oil (not water).
⚠️ Oil-Specific Safety Notes:
Peppermint:
- Avoid use on children under 6 years old (risk of respiratory distress).
- May cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals (dilute to 1% or less).
- Avoid if you have GERD or hiatal hernia (may relax lower esophageal sphincter).
Lemon:
- Photosensitive – Avoid sun exposure for 12–24 hours after topical application.
- May degrade plastic diffusers over time (use glass or stainless steel).
- Oxidizes quickly (store in a cool, dark place; discard if rancid).
Basil:
- Avoid during pregnancy (emmenagogue effect).
- May interact with blood thinners (consult a healthcare provider if on medication).
- Use in moderation (high doses may cause dizziness or nausea).
⚠️ Good-to-Know Precautions:
- Diffuser safety – Use in well-ventilated areas; allow pets to leave the room.
- Shelf life matters – Discard oxidized oils (rancid smell = toss it!).
- Quality counts – Use 100% pure, therapeutic-grade oils from reputable suppliers.
🔍 Special Cases (Consult a Professional):
- Pregnancy/nursing – Avoid basil; consult a professional for peppermint/lemon use.
- Medical conditions – Especially epilepsy, high blood pressure, or hormone-sensitive cancers.
