Do not use on cats as most oils are toxic to cats. DO NOT attempt to self-diagnose or prescribe any natural substances for health conditions that require professional attention. See individual bottle label directions or check with a health professional before using essential oils if you have a serious medical condition or if you are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant. DO NOT use wild tansy, clary sage, sage, fennel, wintergreen, or hyssop during pregnancy. Consult your healthcare professional about any serious disease or injury. When applying a new oil, test one drop on a small patch of skin first (e.g., on the underside of the forearm). Skin sensitivity is highly individual. If the skin feels hot or turns red, apply a vegetable oil (e.g., olive or almond) to the area, which will dilute the essential oil. Washing with water is less effective. Use only one new oil or oil blend at a time to determine how your body responds. Wait 30 minutes before using or implanting another new oil.
