***Our Essential Oils and Their Uses***

Our essential oil line is new and so I thought this would be a good time to put up a reference sheet about them along with some guidelines.

Here are some noteworthy points about our oils:

• They are neet, which means they are pure undiluted essential oils. We do not make them, however, we do procure each of them from a highly reputable distributor.

• Because they are undiluted, some may cause skin irritation and therefore should be put into a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil or coconut oil before using directly on the skin. Always test on a small area with new oil before using.

• If you have animals do not use your oils on or around your animals without checking to make sure they are safe for use on animals. Cats are particularly sensitive to oils. Here is a basic list of oils to AVOID with your animals:

Dogs: Anise, Yarrow, Juniper

Cats: Basil, Juniper, Birch, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Fennel, Tea Tree/Melaleuca, Oregano, Peppermint, Citrus Oils

Dogs & Cats: Clove, Thyme, Wintergreen,

• Do not ingest essential oils. They are for external use only.

• Keep away from pets and children.
