Essential oils are highly concentrated substances and can be harmful if not used properly. Essential oils are for external use only and should not be consumed internally. Keep essential oils out of the reach of children and pets. It's advisable to avoid using them during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Due to their potency, essential oils can cause skin irritation or reactions if applied directly; therefore, we recommend diluting them before topical use. We also recommend testing on a small patch of skin prior to use. Consult with a healthcare professional before using this product. If you experience any adverse reaction, contact your doctor and seek advice immediately.
Peppermint Essential Oil can be particularly harmful to pets, so we recommend avoiding its use around animals.
