Safety Tips For Essential Oils

Essential oils offer many health benefits, and diffuser blends can make your home smell incredible, but even though these are natural products, they are also extremely potent and need to be used with caution.

When using essential oils, here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:

1. Choose Quality Oils

Quality oils do not have to be from expensive, popular MLM companies. There are many quality brands out there.

When looking at a brand/company, here are a few tips:

Do they have qualified, trained staff?
Do they show GC/MC testing on their website?
Are their samples third-party tested?
Do they specify how the oils are extracted or processed?
Do they give safe guidelines for dilution?
What is their stance on ingestion? (They should not be promoting ingestion for the untrained/unprofessional user!)

2. Always start with a low dilution

Keep in mind that you can always add more oil for a stronger scent, but you cannot remove it once added.

3. Avoid diffusing in areas where there are children, sensitive people, or pets

Certain essential oils can cause serious problems for children, people with allergies or asthma, and pets.

If you’re using kid or pet-safe oils, and your guest doesn’t mind the smell, make sure to diffuse in a room with good ventilation. Also, diffusing should only be done for 30-60 minute intervals. (And always keep essential oils out of reach from children or pets).

If you want to enjoy the scent of fall without risking your safety, choose to wear a diffuser necklace or bracelet instead.

4. Do not ingest or consume essential oils

When the topic of essential oils comes up, there is always a discussion about internal use. However, it is important to know that these products are incredibly potent and concentrated, and should not be used internally.

A company may market its products as “pure essential oils” but that does not mean they are safe to ingest.

Mucous membrane tissue is more delicate than skin and using essential oils can actually cause erosion of these sensitive tissues.
