The American Holistic Aromatherapy Association has some cautions about using essential oils. In general:
Some essential oils are not suitable for undiluted application to the skin, or may cause irritation or increased sensitivity to the skin if applied without first being properly diluted in a carrier oil. It is not advisable to use essential oils internally without advanced training in aromatherapy and an understanding of the effects that could result. Some essential oils are not suitable for young children, pregnant women and the elderly. It is essential to be well informed. Always get information from qualified people and never use an essential oil blindly.
