Never apply undiluted essential oils directly to your skin. Do not mix undiluted essential oils in bath water, use diluted versions such as massage oils for this purpose. Check with your health professional before using essential oils, especially if you are on medication. Do not store essential oils in the sun or in hot places like the glove compartment of your car. Keep essential oils out of the reach of children and pets.
Some essential oils can be toxic to cats even when diffused.
It is recommended to keep diffusers away from infants and pets. You can use them in your bath, and then reapply them after your bath or shower. Cooking With Essential Oils Cooking with essential oils is just like using dried herbs. One tablespoon of dried spice is equivalent to 2-3 drops of the same essential oil. Some essential oils have a high percentage of terpenes that give an undesirable flavor when mixed with certain foods, so it is best to dilute your essential oils in a tablespoon of olive oil.
