4). Do not take essential oils internally unless under strict medical supervision or if in consultation with an aromatherapist qualified to this level.

5). Never use an undiluted essential oil directly on the skin. Always dilute in a suitable base product. Lavender & Tea Tree can be used neat in very small amounts 1-2 drops but not on a regular basis.

7). When adding essential oils to bath water dilute the oil first in a small amount of full fat milk or dispersing bath oil base. If neither is available be sure to agitate the water after adding the oil so it does not settle on the top of the water and cause irritation.

8). Try to regulate the use of any essential oil as constant use over time may in isolated cases cause sensitisation, nausea or headaches.

9). Certain oils may cause skin sensitivity or adverse reaction in some individuals. Discontinue use immediately if this occurs. If susceptible to this kind of reaction it is always best to do a patch test before use on a larger area.

10). Do not use machinery or drive a motor vehicle immediately following a relaxation treatment especially after using soporific oils e.g. Clary sage.
