Cautions & Contraindications
A note about toxicity: toxic constituent refers to the constituent that can become a toxin in your body if used longer than the recommended time or used more than the recommended dosage.
Ginger - It may cause irritation to sensitive skin if used above a 4% dilution. Ginger has a low phototoxic level but this is so weak it is not considered significant. Ginger essential oil should not be used while experiencing morning sickness.
Sandalwood - The potentially toxic constituent is the terpene alcohol borneol. Sandalwood oil may, in rare cases, cause dermatitis and allergic reactions. It is contraindicated for diseases of the kidney.
Tea Tree New Zealand - The toxic constituent is 1,8 cineole. Acute toxicity can occur if it is administered in amounts larger than the stated daily dose. In some individuals, it can produce a mild irritancy to the skin, but it has a low irritancy compared to tea tree Australia oil. In tests conducted in England at Huntington Life Sciences and at the Wellington Clinical School, New Zealand, on application of undiluted oil to the skin of 30 subjects, there were no reports of skin irritancy.
