- If having to drive a long distance after a massage, do not use Clary Sage, Marjoram or Ylang Ylang – they can cause drowsiness.
- Some oils can cause photo-sensitization of the skin, increasing the risk of sunburn. These include Angelica (root), Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Cumin, Ginger, Lemon, Lemon Verbena, Lime, Mandarin, Orange and Tangerine. They can cause unsightly pigmentation.
- Clary Sage should not be used while drinking alcohol.
- Never mix essential oils with water. Essential oils are not water soluble. If they burn a little or you get them in your eyes by accident, always dilute with any pure vegetable oil. Do not add water as water drives the oils in deeper, creating more skin irritation.
- Hops should not be used by anyone suffering from depression.
- Avoid Cypress, Hyssop, Rosemary, Sage (all types) and Thyme oil if there is any possibility of high blood pressure or kidney disease.
