Perform a Patch Test Before Using
You should perform a patch test if you are new to using aromatherapy and essential oils or are concerned about any reactions you may have. Mix a tiny amount (2 drops) of essential oil with about 1/2 teaspoon carrier oil. Always follow the manufacturer's guidance. Apply a small amount to your inner arm area with a cotton swab. Apply a bandage to cover the area and keep it from getting wet.
If you react, you will notice within 24 hours. Signs of a reaction may be redness or itchy skin. Do not continue using any substance that results in an allergic reaction.
