From massage oils to air fresheners to mouthwash, people are finding essential oil based goods and remedies a more environmentally responsible and often better performing, alternative to synthetically produced perfumes and products. As with almost anything however, there are precautions that need to be taken when handling and working with these precious oils, especially if you are involved in making your own blends.
One of the most important things to remember when using essential oils is that they are usually very concentrated. Direct contact could cause irritation to the skin so always use carrier oils to dilute the primary oils that you’re using. Carrier oils, like sweet almond, sesame, and grapeseed, are safe to apply directly to the skin and are great to use to dilute more potent oils because they won’t drastically alter the scent of the essential oil and they enable you to use it without fear of a skin reaction.
If you tend to have sensitive skin or allergies, it’s best to do a thorough test on a small area of skin to determine if you are sensitive to a particular oil. To test your tolerance, first rub one drop of any carrier oil into your upper chest. Then wait 12 hours and check for any redness or skin irritation. If all is clear, mix one drop of the essential oil of your choice with 15 drops of the carrier oil and apply it again to the upper chest. If no redness or irritation is present after 12 hours pass, you should be able to use that particular oil with no problems. As a general rule, still take extra precaution when using any essential oils on delicate areas of the body.
Essential oils can adversely affect certain medications so it is widely recommended to delay using them until you are no longer taking any prescriptions or other medications. Pregnant women should also take extra care when using oils and stick to those known to be safer for use. These include geranium, ginger, lavender, and ylang-ylang to name a few.
As long as you exercise a little common sense and educate yourself, essential oils are a safe and responsible alternative to many perfume and health/beauty products on the market. They also provide health and mood enhancing benefits not found in synthetically manufactured goods and can help add a sense of balance to an otherwise frantic modern world.
