Babies and Small Children: GO HERE
REMINDER: Before using essential oils, please note that we believe that the absolute best method of application is topical. Always respect how concentrated and potent essential oils are and follow our dilution guidelines before using!
A note about internal use of essential oils:
Internal: Although the quality of Selah Oils is excellent, it is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a certified physician who is also certified in aromatherapy. We recommend getting internal dosing instructions from a licensed physician as some essential oils are not recommended for oral consumption. This is in no way a reflection on our oil quality, only a matter of safety and caution with respect to how concentrated essential oils are. When used within safe parameters, and under your physician's care, the quality of our essential oils is such that they can be used internally if deemed appropriate.
However, with that said, it is important to remember the extreme concentration of essential oils. "Using essential oils by rubbing them into the skin or via inhalation is in many cases more effective than oral delivery" (Schnaubelt 96).

CAUTION: Do not use essential oils on sensitive areas - even diluted! Do not use essential oils in your eyes or ear canals. That's just bad and hurts a lot! Thanks!
