Basics

Essential Oils are derived from plants, barks, flowers, and leaves. They have long been known for their incredible aromatherapy, medical and magickal purposes.

Essential oils should never go on the skin neat (not diluted) except for Lavender and Tea tree. Essential oils can be diluted with any carrier or vegetable oil.

 I always use one or more of the following carrier oils in each blend:

Grape Seed, Sweet Almond, Sesame, Apricot, Rose Hips, Primrose, Jojoba.

Each blend should always be kept in a dark container, tightly sealed and out of direct sunlight.

Oils should be used within 6 months of creation date. This is why we create each oil once it has been ordered. Of course, if you store it in a refrigerator it will last longer!

Things you should know!

All oils, blends and custom requests are for personal use only. They are not recommended as an alternative medicine.

Please research all oils prior to use!!

ALL oils are for external use ONLY!

Keep away from children.

The below oils are Not recommended for aromatherapy purposes and/or are toxic.

Rue, Bitter Almond, Boldo Leaf, Calamus, Yellow Camphor,  Horseradish, Jaborandi leaf, Mugwort, Mustard, Pennyroyal,  Sassafras, Savin, Southernworm, Tansy, Thuja, Wintergreen,  Wormseed, Wormwood, Bitter Birch, Sage, Cassia, Lavender, Cotton, Onion, Oregano, Orrisroot..    

Oils to Avoid during pregnancy and/or if breastfeeding:

Basil, Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Clary Sage, Sweet Fennel,    Helichrysum, Juniper,  Myrrh, Oregano, Peppermint, Rosemary, Tagetes, Thymes, Aniseed, Marjoram, Clove, Nutmeg, Bay, Pimento Berry,  Cistus, Hops, Valerian, Spikenard, Black Pepper, Tarragon, Mace, Cumin, Parsley Seed,

Oils to avoid if Epileptic:

 Fennel, Hyssop, Rosemary, Sage, Wormwood

If the oils have been taken internally, contact your local emergency Poison Control center as soon as possible.

If you have sensitive skin, please note some oils can cause irritations.

Try to avoid direct sunlight when using essential oils.

*You should always consult your physician prior to starting any new medical treatment. This might sound redundant, but we do not recommend any oils for medical use nor as a cure to a physical/mental/emotional  condition.*
