Why is it important to use a carrier oil with an Essential Oil?

3/11/2015

Undiluted Use of Essential Oils On the Skin Can Be Harmful and Potentially Cause Severe Irritation or Sensitization.
Treat essential oils with the same care that you treat medicines. If The symptoms of sensitization can vary from individual to individual, but think of it like a skin allergy that results in a severe and/or itchy rash. More severe cases of sensitization can potentially lead to respiratory issues or apparently even anaphylactic shock. Once you develop sensitization to an essential oil, you are likely to remain permanently sensitized to that essential oil, even if you begin to adequately dilute it. You may also develop a reaction to other essential oils as well and will also experience reactions to products that contain these oils.
Always do a patch test prior to using essential oils, just to make sure you are not allergic or sensitive to the oil.  Essential Oils are wonderful but you need to know how to use them properly.  The best way is with education and finding a good Trained Aromatherapist.
