Essential Oils are most often derived by the steam distillation of fresh
herbal materials from around the world: leaves, stems and flowers.
Essential oils are highly concentrated and should always be treated with
care and respect. Quality oils are never adulterated or diluted. Like
the herbal material from which the oils are derived, essential oils
should be stored properly. They should be diluted before using them in
any manner, as irritations can occur. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous
membranes and keep out of the reach of children.
It is advisable to consult a naturopath, chiropractic or medical doctor,
or other alternative medical practitioner before attempting a
traditional or folk remedy.
Enjoy the natural, fragrant, sensual experience of essential oils. Make
candles, soaps, potpourris, perfumes, massage oils, bath oils, etc. But
remember, a little goes a long way! Use with care!
