安全提示 Safety guidelines

 

使用精油時的安全提示：

 

1. 稀釋精油：

精油高度濃縮，使用前務必進行稀釋。一般建議將2-5滴精油與1茶匙的載體油(如椰子油、杏仁油或荷荷巴油)混合使用。

2. 進行皮膚試驗：

使用新的精油前，請先在內臂或耳後皮膚上塗抹少量稀釋液，觀察是否出現皮膚刺激或過敏反應。

3. 避免口服：

除非在專業人士指導下，否則精油不應口服，因為這樣做可能會有危險。

4. 謹慎使用於特殊人群：🤰👭👵👴

孕婦、兒童、老年人以及某些醫療狀況的人在使用精油前，應先諮詢專業人士。

5. 妥善保存精油：

將精油放在兒童和寵物接觸不到的地方，存放在陰暗、密封的容器中，以保持其效用。

6. 注重質量和純度：

選擇來自知名品牌的高品質、純正精油，以確保安全性和有效性。

7. 從低濃度開始：

使用時請從最低有效濃度開始，根據需要逐步增加，不要過度使用。

8. 如出現不適立即停止使用：🚏

一旦出現皮膚刺激、頭痛、眩暈等不適反應，請立即停止使用該精油。

 

遵循這些安全指引，可以在享受芳香療法益處的同時，將潛在風險降到最低。尤其是對於初次使用精油的人來說，最好諮詢有經驗的芳療師。

 

Here are some tips for safety using essential oils for aromatherapy:

 

1. Dilute essential oils:

Essential oils are highly concentrated and should always be diluted before topical application. A general guideline is to mix 2-5 drops of essential oil with 1 teaspoon of carrier oil like coconut, almond, or jojoba oil.

2. Perform a patch test:

Before using a new essential oil, do a patch test by applying a small amount of the diluted oil to your inner arm or behind the ear. Watch for any skin irritation or sensitivity.

3. Avoid ingestion:

Essential oils should not be ingested unless under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Ingesting essential oils can be dangerous.

4. Use caution with sensitive groups:🤰👭👵👴

Pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those with certain medical conditions should consult a professional before using essential oils.

5. Store oils properly:

Keep essential oils out of reach of children and pets. Store them in dark, airtight containers in a cool, dark place to preserve their potency.

6. Consider quality and purity:

Choose high-quality, pure essential oils from reputable brands to ensure safety and effectiveness.

7. Start with low concentrations:

Begin with the lowest effective concentration of essential oils and gradually increase as needed. More is not always better.

8. Discontinue use if any adverse reactions occur:🚏

Stop using the essential oil immediately if you experience skin irritation, headaches, dizziness, or other undesirable effects.

 

Following these safety guidelines will help ensure that you can enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy while minimizing any potential risks. Consulting an experienced aromatherapist is also recommended, especially for those new to using essential oils.
