Precautions for internal use:
1. Certain essential oils are only suitable for external use! This is always
clearly stated on the packaging.
2. Not suitable for children under 12 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.
3. Never use undiluted. Use a carrier (honey, herbal infusion,…) for taking essential oils.
4. In case of accidental ingestion of a large amount of essential oil (from ½ ml), drink some edible vegetable oil and contact the Poison Control Centre.
5. Continuous use of essential oils is not recommended.
Precautions for external use:
1. As a precaution, it is recommended not to use essential oils for children under 3 years of age and pregnant or lactating women. True lavender and Eucalyptus radiata are exceptions.
2. Never apply undiluted to the skin. Dilute in a vegetable oil, cream, gel or shampoo, also for use in a bath! Some essential oils can be applied pure to the skin after advice from a health_x0002_professional.
3. Essential oils naturally contain components that can cause allergic reactions in hypersensitive people (e.g. citral, d-limonene, linalool, geraniol, citronellol,…). These components are always listed on the packaging.
Before using an essential oil on the skin, it is wise to do an allergy test. Dilute one drop of essential oil in 10 ml of vegetable oil and apply it to the inside _x0002_of your elbow. If the skin is not red or itchy after 24 hours, you are not allergic.
4. All citrus essential oils are photosensitizing! Photosensitization is the result of an interaction between UV rays and a sensitizing substance. The skin becomes red and looks sunburned. Avoid exposure to UV rays for at least 12 hours after skin application!
5. Avoid contact with eyes, ears, nose and mucous membranes! In case of accidental contact: immediately
'rinse' with vegetable oil.
