As with any essential oils there are cautions to heed. Essential oils are bioactive ingredients. This means they contain natural chemicals that interact with biological systems. They're potent chemicals and should be used with care. Never use large amounts of essential oils externally or internally. Never use them straight. They must always be diluted in carrier oil, or soap, lotion, or other buffering agent. Finally, never use them without knowing what their bioactive compounds are known to do.
