About
Essential Oil Safety
Plants contain complex and powerful substances known as essential oils. These
are aromatic liquids derived from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and
seeds. These distinctive components defend plants from insects, harsh
environmental conditions, and disease. They are also vital for a plant to grow,
live, evolve, and adapt to its surroundings. Referred to as the essence of the
plant, pure essential oils not only protect the plant but also determine its
aroma. The article below explains the difference between "essential oils"
and the real, pure essential oils. Essential oils are highly
concentrated liquids that can be harmful if not used carefully. Safety Points
If you ever feel heat or discomfort from using an essential oil, putting a
pure vegetable oil on it will "cool" it off within seconds.
Do not use the "spicy" oils (such as Peppermint, Cinnamon, Thyme, etc.) on
the throat or other delicate areas. Use them on the feet or other areas where
the skin is less sensitive.
Pay attention to specific notices on your oil bottle labels. Sometimes you'll
see a recommendation not to go out in the sun after using certain oils.
Don't put essential oils in your eyes or directly into your ears.
If pregnant, consult your "how-to" book for oils that are appropriate and
inappropriate.
Consult with your "how-to" book for how to use essential oils with your
children.
It's a good idea to first mix oils intended for a bath with a dispersing
agent, such as Bath Gel Base or a mixture of bath salts.
For more information about essential oils and their applications, we highly
recommend the "Reference Guide for Essential Oils" by Connie and Alan Higley.
The book contains invaluable information on applications, oils, and a huge
section on ailments and how to treat them. The book can be ordered on line at
Abundant Health.
