Essential Oils for Beginners
Chapter Four
Are Essential
Oils Safe?
One of the first things people want
to want to know about essential
oils is, “Are they really safe?”
Essential oils have a long history of safe and effective usage.
When you use pure essential oils in the appropriate amount,
they can absolutely be safe for your home, your family, and
yourself. Like anything else that you’d use in your home,
essential oils are safe when you adhere to recommended
dosage amounts and use them as intended.
Before using an oil, verify that it’s a high-quality and pure
essential oil. Only use essential oils that have gone through
extensive testing to ensure purity and safety. Not all oils
are created equal, and low-quality oils can have synthetic
additives or impurities. If you aren’t confident that an oil has
been tested for purity and safety, avoid using it.
