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 the intake
of essential oils.
4. In case of accidental ingestion of a large amount of essential oil (from ½ ml), drink
some edible vegetable oil and consult 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 in children
under 3 years of age and pregnant or lactating women. True lavender and Eucalyptus radiata
are exceptions to this.
2. NEVER apply undiluted to the skin. Dilute in a vegetable oil, cream, gel or
shampoo, also for use in baths! Some essential oils can be applied neat to the skin after advice from a health 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 stated 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 this to the inside
of your elbow. If the skin does not feel 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 topical use!
5. Avoid contact with eyes, ears, nose and mucous membranes! In case of accidental contact: immediately
'rinse' with vegetable oil.
