My response is to all parts dried herb, oils, and smells. If the flavor of the day at our favorite ice cream restaurant is Mint we can not even go through the drive thru due to the mint settling on the foods.<br /><br />I would caution her to watch for symptoms with the consumption aspect as well as to the EO's. <br /><br />Prayers to her and her family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04488030436159173482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070790538272960248.post-31317269247089134942016-12-06T22:37:08.860-06:002016-12-06T22:37:08.860-06:00Shannon, I would avoid it by any method.. includi...Shannon, I would avoid it by any method.. including diffusion. ther eare always safe substitutes.<br />Margehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673509267085990921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070790538272960248.post-2459391514211356152016-12-06T22:26:19.570-06:002016-12-06T22:26:19.570-06:00I have a question.

The oils that come with the warning to not use while pregnant or lactating... does that warning extend to using those stronger oils (clove, cinnamon) in a diffuser? Or is the warning more geared toward topical uses of the oils? I'm nursing by baby and don't want to mess with anything. My only interest in oils right now is for the diffuser, not topical use.

I had severe reaction to Ylang Ylang and composite mix which consists of Chamomile, Tansy, Yarrow, Arnica and Feverfew along with other things that are man made chemicals. I was very surprised to see the natural things but makes sense now. Use everything with knowledge.

The body reactions however do not surprise me in the least. <br /><br />KNOW your essential oil molecular constituents, and their allergenic cautions, use, and how NOT to use them. <br /><br />Spice oils of clove, and pimento are filled with eugenol, isoeugenol, and methyl eugenol.

I never made them. When the warnings on an oil say 'avoid topical use' why wash with it? If you want a spice, look at ginger, at cardamom, the more gentle ones... That's my personal opinion, of course. When I made soap, I concentrated on skin healing... both very rich formulas, and skinhealing oils and CO2s.

Wow! Wish I could blast ALL my friends who are YL reps. I do, however have a question. I have started making soaps, and not being an aromatherapist, only a follower of what I can glean from you and Sylla, etc, rely on the natural soap recipes I can find for guidelines. There are many essential oils used in soaps, and clove/cinnamon are two big ones this winter season. Any thoughts? Recommendations? Thank you for any safe soaping words you may have. shelleyharris431@yahoo.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183566809402697979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070790538272960248.post-5948882579551918332016-10-29T07:58:51.332-05:002016-10-29T07:58:51.332-05:00Holy moly.
