The use of natural oils as a cure-all is increasing day by day. No matter how healing they are, they can cause some health problems if not used properly. Therefore, there are a few things to keep in mind while using these oils which are a miracle of nature;
- Since essential oils are powerful substances, be sure to use them diluted. You can mix natural oils with a carrier oil to dilute or, if you are applying it to your skin, add 1-2 drops to your moisturizer.
- Make sure you are not allergic to the raw material of the oil. To avoid allergic reactions, you can do an allergy test and choose your oil accordingly.
- Apply oil or oil blends to the inside of the elbow first as a test and wait 24/48 hours. Make sure your skin is not irritated, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Avoid contact with eyes, if possible rinse with plenty of water and if necessary call a doctor.
- Consult a specialist before use in infants and children under 6 years of age.
