7. WHERE DO WE GET ESSENTIAL OILS?

Whenever we are judging the quality of an oil, price is not always the parameter but it is a good determining factor.

For this reason, it is important for you to acquire essences at a well-known herbalist shop, pharmacy or any shop which specializes in natural products; including beauty and esthetic centres.

8. USAGE PRECAUTIONS.

The most important point to take into consideration is if the oil in question is in fact pure or if it has been diluted with oil or alcohol.

We recommend verifying the label; if its for internal or external use.

When oils are pure, they mustn't be applied directly over our skin since they can cause burns.

If the label on the bottle indicates internal use, we must dilute it with water and honey.

We can use a maximum of three oils in a single mix to create good synergy, otherwise they might loose effectiveness.

For the techniques of Aromatherapy to render a positive result, they must be complemented with other factors such as: a daily physical exercises routine, healthy food, and a complete elimination of tobacco and alcoholic beverages.
