   Essential oils, properly used, are safe and effective for many routine issues, but there can be bad, even dangerous, reactions from people who are grossly misusing them. Our advice: Study up on the different oils, their risks and benefits; consult with a licensed aromatherapist, not only the distributor for a company. Always read the fine print on the bottle, look it up on the official internet website of the brand about how to use them.

A couple of simple tips (not a complete list), includes:

Do not apply undiluted essential oils to your skin.

Do not put drops of essential oil into a bath and then step into it.

Do not ingest essential oils unless advised to do so by a practitioner who is qualified/licensed to prescribe essential oils in this way. 

It is not advisable to directly and intensively inhale essential oils for longer than 15-20 minutes.

Essential oils are flammable, and should not be used in any way that involves close proximity to a naked flame or similar fire hazard.
