In general, we would advise customers to not use our blends for pregnant or nursing women. Most essential oils are safe to use during pregnancy, however, there are a few that we do not recommend during pregnancy including the ones that have hormonal effects or can stimulate smooth muscle contractions. Please consult with your physician before using any essential oils.
10. How long will my bottle last?
Aromatherapy blends should ideally be used within 6 months of opening. The best way to maximize the life of your oils is to keep them in a cool dark place, away from direct sunlight. Our amber bottles will help prolong their life. If the oil is exposed to heat, air or light, the shelf life will greatly diminish. Old oils should never be used as there is a risk of irritation or sensitization.
