Essential oils are highly potent and cannot all be used the same way. Care should be taken to minimize potential problems. Inform yourself about the benefits and risks of oil use. Be aware of differences in topical, internal, aromatic, and diffusing applications.

There are a wide variety of books and other resources that teach about specific uses for each of the oils. Be aware that the field of essential oils is not standardized and that sources differ in their recommendations. It is wise to consult several different sources and assume personal responsibility for the use of oils.
