Question 1

Are there any safety precautions for using essential oils?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is important to use essential oils safely. Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil before applying them to the skin, avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, and keep them out of reach of children and pets. Some oils may not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, so consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

Question 2

How do I use essential oils?

Accepted Answer

Essential oils are for external and aromatic use only — never for internal or oral use. The two safe ways to use them are aromatically (diffusing them into the air or inhaling from the bottle) and topically (always diluted in a suitable carrier oil before applying to the skin, never applied neat). Keep oils away from eyes, ears and mucous membranes, out of reach of children and pets, and check with a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition.

Question 3

What is aromatherapy?

Accepted Answer

Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils — natural aromatic extracts from plants — most often through massage or inhalation, to bring scent, ritual and a moment of calm into everyday life. It's a complementary, relaxation-focused practice rather than a medical treatment, and it doesn't diagnose, treat or cure any condition.

Question 4

What are the benefits of aromatherapy?

Accepted Answer

Aromatherapy is a complementary, relaxation-focused practice — it doesn't diagnose, treat or cure any medical condition. Many people simply enjoy the experience of it: the scent of the oils, time set aside for a massage, and a calmer pace than the rest of the day. Which oils and blend I use is something we talk through together at your consultation.
