Despite their beneficial properties, the use of essential oils requires caution and attention as they are highly concentrated, volatile, and highly penetrative substances that can be harmful if used freely.
Essential oils should not be used without the advice of a professional aromatherapist, pharmacist, or doctor. Especially in the following cases:
- During pregnancy and breastfeeding
- In individuals with serious health problems
- In infants and children under 12 years old
- In case of allergy to essential oils
