General Safety Information: Do not take any oils internally
without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Do
not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated
essences onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage,
have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under
the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme
caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest
oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified aromatherapy
practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test should
be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before.
