As a sickly person, I usually go for herbal rather than synthetic. Essential oils are one of my go-to-medicines when I suffer from minor symptoms of cold/flu, fatigue, indigestion, etc. I use essential oils through aromatherapy or I take it orally for the purpose of improving my physical health particularly. To give you an overview, essential oils are basically organic compounds taken out from plants that turn out to be useful for healing purposes.

Safety in Using Essential Oils
To make sure of your safety in using essential oils, it is important to take note of the following:
- First, check the quality of the product. Look for products that contain pure oil without containing any other mixtures. Oils that are impure may cause some allergic reactions to your body though not all mixtures are bad. For example, some expensive oils are purposely mixed with vegetable oil to make it more affordable.
- Dilute your oils with other safe solutions to avoid having a reaction. Pure oils are very concentrated and may be too strong for your system.
- Be cautious when using essential oils for your children or your pregnant wife.
- In aromatherapy, use essential oils intermittently and not more than 15 minutes in an hour.
- When taken orally, make sure the products you take are scientifically tested and approved.
