Chapter 2 ESSENTIAL OIL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To get the best results when using essential oils and to avoid developing hazardous side effects
you should:
1. Always conduct a skin patch test before using a new essential oil.
Do this by applying the essential oil that has been diluted with a carrier oil on the inner aspect of
your elbow, bandage it and wait for 24 hours to see if you will develop rashes or itchiness or
swelling or any other sign of an allergic reaction. If you do, do not use that essential oil.
2. Always buy your essential oils from a reputable vender to ensure you use high quality
therapeutic grade essential oils in your blends.
3. Do not confuse essential oils with fragrance oils since the latter do not have the natural healing
benefits of essential oils.
