Are essential oils bad for you?Updated 10 days ago

Yes, if you don't use essential oils correctly, they may be harmful to your health. Concentrations of pure essential oils such as eucalyptus and spearmint oil can be extremely poisonous.

Although, when used correctly, most essential oils are harmless and have no side effects. However, like with any chemical you introduce into your body, it is critical to utilise them wisely. We strongly advise against ingesting or drinking essential oils.

When synthetic IFRA-compliant oils are gently diffused using micro nebulisation diffusion, the dosage rate in the air is so low that it is regarded as harmless and may even provide health advantages. Scent Australia Home can advise you on the safe usage of scented diffuser oils.
