A word of caution about Essential Oils
The essential oils supplied with
Aroma™ products are
100% pure and natural, but even natural products can have side effects if not used properly, and some degree
of care is needed when handling them. Pure undiluted
essential oils should not (in
general) be used directly on the skin. Do not take essential oils internally. Essential oils should be kept away from children, pets
and the eyes. Essential oils are also very volatile and, therefore flammable - keep them away from naked flames. Aromatherapy products
are never to be used in place of medical treatment. If you are pregnant, epileptic, suffering from high blood pressure or already
taking medication consult your medical practitioner or a qualified aromatherapist.
