Essential oils care and safety:

Store essential oils in a cool dark environment out of direct sunlight and away from heat.

NB Treat essential oils as medicine. They are highly concentrated pure extracts from the plant world (it takes a huge amount of plant material to make just a few drops of essential oil).

If at any time you feel any discomfort from diffusing any of these oils, stop at once.

It is always a good idea to test if any oil is ok for you: open the cap and hold just the cap at a distance sniffing the air – if you feel any constriction in your breathing, then this oil is not for you.

Small animals and young babies and those with compromised immune systems need to be treated with extra care.

Allow for small animals to be able to leave the room if they wish to do so – remember their sense of smell is much more intense than ours so care needs to be taken not to overwhelm their system.

Diffuse oils at a safe distance in a well ventilated space.

You will only need 8-10 drops total to fill your space with their beautiful scent.

Diffuse for 20 mts at a time for best effect.
