Warning:
- It is highly recommended that you first carry out a 'patch' test. A patch test consists of applying one of each essential oil on the inside of your wrist and then cover your wrist with a bandage for 30 to 60 minutes. If your skin does not react (redness or irritation) than you can use the essential oil directly on your skin. In the case of minor irritation you should reduce the amount of drops used.
- If these essential oil preparations come in direct contact with the eyes, soak a cotton ball or swab in vegetable oil and apply on the eyes to soothe the irritation.
