Usage of Aromatherapy Essential Oils

Aromatherapy also includes using essential oils in your baths for convenience. Essential oils can be concentrated and even potent so inappropriate usage or an overdose may lead to problems.
Do's and don'ts while Using Essential Oils
• Read the instruction manual carefully and try to follow it. It is always better to buy from manufactures that provide instructions rather than going for second rate modified essential oils.
• Read the ingredients as some people might have skin allergies to certain substances.
• If you develop rashes or experience any kind of discomfort (which is not common), please consult a general physician.
• Stick to the quantity of usage per trial as mentioned, as many people use higher quantities in the hope of a quicker response. Overdose of essential can lead to headaches, dizziness and related complications.
• Do not apply undiluted essential directly onto your skin.
• Make sure that essential oils do not enter eyes, nose and ears.
• Always remember that oils are only for external usage as even small quantities if taken internally can cause a lot of discomfort.
• If you have a medical condition or if you are getting treated for a major illness, consult your doctor first and then talk to your aroma therapist as well.
• Using aromatherapy oils on children should be avoided, as a child's health, his needs and reactions are very different from adults. Store essential away from the reach of children.
Consider a Patch Test
If you feel that your skin has developed red patches, burning or itchiness, this may signal either an allergy or a situation where in the oils are reacting on your skin. Wash it off or better have a bath.
That is the reason a patch test is recommended to check allergies and sensitivities before usage. Don't do a patch test on your hands; instead do on areas which get hidden by your clothes (like legs) so that if there are burns or any kind of discomfort, it doesn't get displayed. However the area you choose for a patch test is a personal choice and there is no hard and fast rule in it.
All in all, use oils with care for a better holistic lifestyle.
