Precautions

Dosages and recommendations

  • It is crucial to follow the dosage and directions for use indicated by a health professional or aromatherapist.
  • Dosages vary according to need and use, and must be adapted to your state of health.

Children and essential oils

  • Never give essential oils to children under 7 years of age without consulting a physician. For some oils, this threshold may be even higher.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

  • It is generally not advisable to use essential oils during pregnancy or while breast-feeding without medical advice, as some oils may cause adverse effects such as contractions or reduced lactation.

Specific medical conditions

  • Essential oils are contraindicated for people with epilepsy, asthma, allergies or known hypersensitivity. They should not be administered without prior medical consultation.

Avoid the following routes of administration

  • Never inject essential oils intravenously or intramuscularly.

Allergy test

  • Before using for the first time, we recommend testing the essential oil on a small area of skin. Mix a drop of essential oil with a vegetable oil and apply to the crease of the elbow. Wait 24 hours to check for any allergic reaction.

Precautions for atmospheric diffusion

  • Some oils can be irritating to the respiratory tract, especially when diffused over long periods. It is important to avoid continuous diffusion or diffusion in closed rooms.
  • Never diffuse essential oils in the presence of young children, pregnant women, asthmatics or allergy sufferers without medical advice.

Accidental eye or skin contact

  • In the event of accidental eye contact, wipe immediately with absorbent cotton soaked in vegetable oil. Never use water, as essential oils are not water-soluble.
  • If pure essential oils come into contact with the skin, dilute them immediately with a vegetable oil to avoid irritation or burns.

Sun sensitivity

  • Some essential oils are photo-sensitizing (e.g. Bergamot and Lemon). After applying them to the skin, avoid exposure to sunlight or UV rays for several hours.

Storage of essential oils

  • Keep your essential oils in well-closed bottles, away from light and heat, to preserve their properties.
  • Avoid putting them to bed, as they can be corrosive, leaving the oils in prolonged contact with the plastic dropper.
