TIPS FOR USING YOUR ESSENTIAL OILS SAFELY
What about the SPECIAL LID? •​ the reason for this is because oils like Wintergreen, Raven, PanAway or any oil with a high percentage of wintergreen in it, can be very dangerous (even fatal) to young children if ingested in large doses! Children should always be supervised when applying oils, but especially the case around the Wintergreen oil.
PHOTOSENSITIVITY • there are certain oils that are photosensitive, meaning you don’t want to wear them and be in the sun for long periods of time. These are mostly citrus oils, like grapefruit, lemon, etc. But here we list every oil that has been suggested as being photosensitive. Take extra precaution with the oils listed with an *asterisc.* 
MIX IT UP • you can become desensitized to an oil if you use the same one day after day, so I rotate my oils every 3-4 days.
LOOK OUT • be wary of putting oils topically near your eyes. Some oils, like peppermint, can cause a burning sensation. If you are placing an oil near your eye, apply the oil to a Q-tip instead of tipping the bottle toward your face.
FOR INTERNAL USE! • one of the top aromatherapy schools in the United States, NAHA, doesn’t advocate essential oils for internal use, why? Most oil companies don’t carry any GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) essential oils which have been cleared by the FDA. NAHA also bases a lot of their decisions on the British model, which advocates topical use only. Many of the British studies are flawed, for example, done at extremely high doses or in ways the oils aren’t used, like pouring a bottle inside the body. Young Living utilizes all 3 methods (British, French, and German). The French have been safely using some essential oils internally for decades. Young Living created a Vitality line with distinctive labels so you can easily recognize which oils are safe to take internally.
CARRIER OILS • when using oils on your skin, always watch for redness and dilute with a carrier oil. Dilute oils on children, because their skin is more permeable and absorbs the oils more quickly. What is a carrier oil? It’s a fatty oil like olive oil or coconut oil, and its molecules are much larger than those of essential oils. Using a carrier oil with an essential oil slows down the rate the body can absorb the essential oil, because it has to ping pong through the larger molecules of the carrier oil to get into your skin.
