Essential Oil Safety and Other Information

Essential oils are highly concentrated. Some people have the misconception that just because the oils are produced from plants and fruit of which we come into regular contact, that they are completely safe to use in any manner and any amount. This is not true. Again, essential oils are HIGHLY concentrated. You don’t come into contact with the 30,000 roses it took to produce that 1/2 oz bottle of oil.

Essential oils are wonderful and can be a great addition to your life. Just, please, use them safely and sensibly. The safety and usage guides that herbBee offers, along with the individual essential oil profiles, should help you in doing so. If you are under the care of a physician or have medical concerns, it is recommended to consult your physician before using essential oils in any manner. If using essential oils therapeutically, it is highly recommended that you do so only under the guidance of a professional and reputable aromatherapist and with your doctor’s knowledge.
