- If you are pregnant, consult your doctor or homeopathy expert before using any essential oils to prevent complications and miscarriage.
- Be sure to dilute any essential oils before directly applying them on skin to prevent burns or allergic reaction especially for those who have sensitive skin.

- Avoid eating foods that are rich in saturated fats from animal sources, refined vegetable oils, and artificially hardened vegetable oils such as margarine.
- Take extra precautions when administering essential oils to the elderly.
