Cautions
Blue Stone Botanicals cautions for use of our body care items and information provided with these items and on this website (www.BlueStoneBotanicals.com) and affiliated domains.
Every plant and every human body are different. You cannot be sure how your own or another’s body will react to exposure to materials foreign to it, including pure and natural materials such as essential oils and other plant derivatives. It is therefore important always to test the application of body care items in small amounts and on limited areas before full or repeated application. You should make yourself aware of any indications of irritation or adverse reactions.
In the unlikely event of irritation or adverse reactions, stop application and immediately remove from your body. Soap and water-soluble substances can be rinsed off or flushed with water. Oil-soluble substances such as essential oils can be diluted and flushed with a generally non-irritating fixed oil such as sunflower oil. If adverse reactions continue after removal seek the assistance of a trained healthcare provider.
Genuine essential oils are pure and natural, but they are also highly concentrated and potent. Therefore only small amounts of essential oils should be used at any one time, and they should be diluted in a non-irritating fixed carrier oil (e.g. almond oil) before being used directly on the body. Standard dilution is about 3% (or not more than 1 drop of essential oil per 1 ml of fixed carrier oil).
Keep out of reach of children.
Essential oils should be kept out of eyes, ears, and the anogenital area. If essential oils do get into any of these places clean and flush the area as described above.
Most aromatherapists, including the International Federation of Aromatherapists, warn that essential oils are for external use only and should not be ingested unless directed and supervised by a licensed medical doctor who is also qualified in clinical aromatherapy. If essential oils are ingested seek medical advice immediately.
Particular care must be taken when using essential oils on individuals who are especially sensitive, such as the very young, the very old, the frail, pregnant women, those who are hypersensitive, and anyone under medical care. In all such situations, and in any case of uncertainty, a trained healthcare provider should be consulted before using essential oils on the body.
Each essential oil has its own properties and some have special cautions, so it is important to learn about any essential oil before use, especially safety precautions.
In general, the properties of plants and other natural materials are many and diverse. When used with proper care and knowledge they can have wonderfully beneficial affects on health and wellbeing. But they must be used with the appropriate level of respect, responsibility, and caution.
