1. If they are not certified organic oils you are basically just rubbing condensed chemicals around on yourself and in the air.
2. If they are not processed with distilled water than it is most likely being done with a chemical process. You must shop around for ones that do the chemical-free process. A great place for these is Mountain Rose Herbs. Always ask!
3. Many people combine too many different scents together in a recipe and store them all together making one big toxic mix to pollute your air. Keep them separate from each other. I recommend separate containers for each one as they tend to ferment from their bottles. Using too many together all at once loses their ideal purpose anyhow.
4. Many people use too much in a recipe and it's overwhelming... all you need is one or two drops.
5. It can mock things that are chemically made. If someone is allergic to a chemical or synthetic product that has a similar scent or ingredient, it can still bother them whether it's a pure form of it or not because it alerts the body to think that it's the same thing and still around.
6. It's best to stay as unscented as possible on your body and inside your home. This way you are aware of what is really going on around you. If you cover up a real problem all you're doing is huffing in both the problem plus a scent. Fix the real problem.
7. Just like anything else the body needs a break. Don't use too much of anything because you can make your body to sensitive to one particular thing if used too much or for too long.
8. Don't assume that just because it's considered better than chemical or synthetic products that everyone loves what you use. Essential oils can still bother others with sensitivities and allergies.
9. As pure as it is, it's still an oil. Oils coat and coating doesn't allow things to breath.
