Storage and precautions

Storage

Essential oils are sensitive to UV radiation and to the gradual evaporation of their constituents. It is therefore essential to store your essential oils in a sealed coloured glass or aluminium bottle at a temperature of between 5°C and 40°C.

Precautions

For external use only, do not ingest.
Do not use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or on children under the age of 7.
Irritant in its pure form: Always dilute well, using a maximum of 20% in your oil blend for localised applications, and a maximum of 5% for broader applications. Ensure this essential oil is heavily diluted in your water-dispersible blend before use in an aromatherapy bath.
Use for localised application only, avoiding large surface areas, especially at high doses.
Not recommended for people allergic to aspirin or salicylic acid derivatives.
Due to its possible blood-thinning effects, do not use on individuals undergoing anticoagulant treatment.
Do not use in diffusion.
Keep out of reach of children.
As a general rule, always perform a patch test of your mixture in the crease of the elbow at least 48 hours before use.
Dangerous. Follow safety precautions for use.
Harmful if swallowed.
