Here is the place to find lots of information regarding herbs, essential oils, etc. It is always a good idea for you to thoroughly research herbs and essential oils before using them to make sure you have the most updated information. Your body and your spellwork are not the areas in which you need to be negligent or haphazard!
Make sure your herbs and oils are kept in a cool, dry, dark place. Containers must be sterilized before use to avoid contaminating the herbs and/or oils.
Some oils are not to be used on the body, but are acceptable for ritual/magick use; most oils must be diluted before applying to the body- always do a skin-patch test before trying new oils. Do not ingest essential oils. If you are pregnant do not use unless advised by a qualified holistic practitioner. If you are epileptic or have another disorder, then be aware some oils may trigger episodes. Use common sense before working with oils and always use caution!
