Leaflet and instructions for use:Essential oils (essential or aromatic oils) are the fragrant, volatile components of herbs, flowers, fruits, seeds, etc. aromatic oils. In aromatherapy, pure essential oils have a positive effect on the body when inhaled, ingested or applied to the skin. Essential oils can have a powerful effect on mood and health: they can help relax, stimulate or calm the respiratory system and much more.

The following precautions should be followed to ensure safe consumption of essential oils: Essential oils are very concentrated! Sometimes it takes hundreds of kilograms of fresh plants to produce one kilogram of oil. They must be used carefully and correctly (we recommend consulting a phytotherapy specialist). INCORRECT USE CAN BE DANGEROUS!

2. Never exceed the recommended doses!
3. Some oils are only suitable for external use, read the packaging!

7. If you accidentally swallow a large amount of essential oil, drink the edible vegetable oil and contact the Poison Control Centre.
8. When administering essential oils orally, always mix them with vegetable oil.
9. Never apply or drip undiluted essential oils directly to the skin. Dilute with a little vegetable oil or a neutral cream, gel or shampoo; they can also be used in the bath.
10. A number of naturally occurring components in essential oils can cause allergic reactions in hypersensitive people (e.g. citral, d-limonene, linalool, geraniol, citronellol, etc.). Read the warnings on the packaging! Tip: In case of sensitive, allergic, skin, first add a drop of essential oil to a vegetable oil (such as sweet almond or coconut oil) and apply it to the inner part of the elbow. Wait 24 hours. If there are no signs of redness, itching or irritation, the oil can be used.
11. All citrus oils (made from the peel of bergamot, orange, lemon, grapefruit or mandarin) are photosensitive! Avoid sunlight and sunbeds for at least 12 hours after applying citrus oil to the skin!
12. Avoid contact with mucous membranes of the eyes and nose! If this happens, rinse thoroughly with clean water. If there is any irritation or a wound, seek medical advice.

– Checking the identity and quality of each batch by means of gas chromatographic analysis (composition of the oil and identification of the various constituents), physical checks (density, refractive index, optical rotation), organoleptic checks (odour, taste).

Oral use – although this use of essential oils can be very effective, we recommend not to experiment! We recommend that you only do this under the supervision of a therapist. It is important to be very familiar with the different oils, as some essential oils can be very dangerous if used incorrectly! We strongly advise against the use of essential oils in children (under 6 years) and pregnant women. Never use more than 2 drops at a time and never use more than twice a day.

Massage, bath, shower – essential oils are perfect for massage, relaxing in a soothing bath or a refreshing shower. They penetrate easily through the skin, providing positive effects. First dilute the oil with a small amount of vegetable oil (such as coconut or sweet almond oil). Recommendations: – Body massage: 1-2 drops in 10 ml of vegetable oil. – Face oil or cream: 2 drops in 10 ml of vegetable oil. – Aromatherapy bath: 6-10 drops in 10 ml of vegetable oil, neutral bath milk or bath foam; – Shampoo: 2-4 drops in 10 ml of vegetable oil. – Topical use: in some cases, much higher concentrations are used (> 20%); for example, on muscles and joints, anti-parasitic, etc. This type of use should only take place under the supervision of a therapist!

Steaming – essential oils add a pleasant fragrance to living and working spaces. It is preferable to use electric evaporators, which do not heat the oil and emit superfine vapours. It is sufficient to evaporate the oil for 15 minutes every hour.

Inhalations – a great way to soothe the throat and airways. Essential oils cleanse the nose and facilitate breathing. Add 2-3 drops of hot water to a bowl and inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes. Caution: avoid irritating oils!
