where do i SOURCE MY essential oils ?
I am an Aromatherapist so I am discerning with where I source my essential oils from. I source some direct from growers here in Australia and others from a supplier who has years of experience within the essential oil industry & is also a grower and producer here in Australia.
safety
Just because an item is natural does not mean it won't cause harm. Please have reverence when using essential oils and other natural products. Please follow safety instructions. The ingestion or internal use of essential oils is only recommended under the direction & guidance of someone fully trained to instruct. In Australia it is someone who is trained in Aromatic Medicine.
Do not apply essential oils directly to the skin undiluted. This also applies to adding oils to a bath. Essential oils can be diluted in milk or a base oil such as coconut when used in a bath. Never use essential oils on children under 2 unless under the direction of a qualified Aromatherapist after a consultation. Do not use Eucalyptus oils with any child under 3 years of age and do not apply Eucalyptus oils to the face of any child under 10 years of age. Please keep essential oils away from the eyes. Keep all your oils out of reach of children and pets. If you have any questions about my blends and their use please email me at anna.mason22@gmail.com
Some essential oils are not recommended for use in people with certain health conditions, when women are pregnant or breastfeeding and in children or the elderly.
When diffusing essential oils or burning incense or plant matter please ensure that it is done in a well ventilated area. If you have pets in your home ensure they can move away from the aroma if they want to . When diffusing around small children and the elderly diffuse at 30 minutes intervals.

STORAGE
Botanicals need to be stored correctly to ensure their longevity and their quality and ultimately their safety. Please observe the expiry date I write on each bottle. and do not use topically after this date. Do not store your items in a hot space for example inside a car in North Queensland. Keep them out of direct sunlight. Do not leave the tops off your bottles and do not allow water to enter the bottle.
A note on my packaging; I use miron violet glass for its special protective properties. Made in Europe from biophotonic glass. This glass protects the contents from light, increases the shelf life and protects the potency of the product.
