Precautions during the use of violet essential oil
1. Infants
Generally speaking, apart from essential oils labeled as unsuitable for infants, such as those containing ketones, phenols and similar components, there are still many essential oils that infants can use. But if you do not know much about essential oils, it is generally safer to use lavender, Roman chamomile, German chamomile, dill, mandarin and other relatively safe essential oils at home. The dosage should also be low, and it is best to have guidance from a professional.
2. Pregnant women
Pregnant women should avoid using essential oils with emmenagogue effects, because using such essential oils can induce menstruation, that is, the onset of a period. As for whether it can cause miscarriage, there is currently no evidence showing this; certain more dangerous essential oils should also not be used, such as rosemary, myrrh, hyssop, parsley and other essential oils. For the sake of caution, pregnant women should still use essential oils under professional guidance.
3. People with asthma should not use steam inhalation
People with asthma should use steam inhalation of essential oils with caution, or avoid steam that is too strong, because overly strong steam may instead make asthma patients unable to catch their breath for a time, creating danger.
4. Use with caution in people with poor liver and kidney function
Some essential oils can cause liver and kidney toxicity. At low doses it is fine to use them, but at high doses and in people whose own function is poor, they can be harmful. Therefore, people with poor liver and kidney function should still consult a professional before use to be safer.
5. People with epilepsy
Some essential oils can trigger epileptic seizures, so people with epilepsy are not suited to use them, such as hyssop, myrrh and other essential oils.
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to take essential oils directly, because they may burn the esophagus, unless it is done under the guidance of a certified aromatherapist.
