pandacandlemaker Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Somewhere (& I can't for the life of me find it again) I saw a list of essential oils that you are never supposed to use in b&b products. Does anyone know these? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A skin test is recommended prior to use. Place a small amount of the blended oil on the inside of your elbow, cover with a bandage and check in 24 hours. If you experience any soreness, redness or irritation do not use the blend. Consulting an Aromatherapist to obtain assistance to determine what essential oil you should use is recommended.If an essential oil or essential oil blend gets into your eye, flush the eye immediately with clean water or cold milk. Seek medical attention if the stinging and/or irritation continues.If allergic to certain foods, do not use essential oils or carrier oils that come from those foods.The following essentials oils should never be used on the skin:Alan Root (Inula helenium)Almond bitterBergamot expressedBirch sweet, Birch tarBoldo leafCadeCalamusCamphor (brown, yellow, unrectified)CassisCinnamon barkColophonCostos RootFig Leaf absHorseradishMustard (volatile)OpoponaxPeru balsamRue absSassafrasTansyToluTurpentine unrectifiedVerbena (from citriodora)Wintergreen (Methyl salicylate)[*]Many essential oils have not been tested on humans, thus always take precautions with using Aromatherapy.[*]Essential oils do not necessarily have the same healing properties of the plant it comes from. Herbal products sometimes contain different chemical components than the essential oil derived from the same plant. Therapeutic results may be experienced when using an herbal product from that of a blended essential oil.[*]Do not use more than 2 drops of the following essential oils when used in a bath:AniseedBlack pepperCamphor (rectified)CitronellaCloveEucalyptus globusGingerJuniperPeppermintPimentoSageSavorySpearmintThyme[*]The following essential oils should be avoided during pregnancy:[*]Basil[*]Cedarwood[*]Clary Sage[*]Fennel[*]Jasmine[*]Lavender[*]Marjoram[*]Myrrh[*]Rose[*]Rosemary[*]Sage[*]ThymeThe following essential oils should be avoided if you have epilepsy:CajaputChamphorEucalyptusFennelHyssopPeppermintRosemary[*]Use a variety of essential oils and make sure you take breaks from the essential oils you use often. This is to avoid sensitization and irritation. The norm would be to use a blend for 4 days, take a minimum of 4 days off and use a different blend which provides the same relief.

KMommy Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 That's a good list, I'll have to print it for future use. There is another essential oil that should be avoided when pregnant(even with pets)it's Pennyroyal essential oil(smells like peppermint). It's not that commonly used anymore but it can be very dangerous. There is still alot of out dated info. about it on the web but it's best to just avoid it all together IMO.
