Essential oils are becoming increasingly popular, as the age-old practice of utilizing aromatics and essential oils enjoys a renaissance in the perfumery, culinary, and complementary and alternative medicine fields. But vague language in the FDA regulations of essential oils leaves many practitioners and enthusiasts uncertain how to use these medicines safely. Join the Traditional Roots Institute and chemist and Registered Aromatherapist Amanda Lattin for an overview of essential-oil safety including adverse reactions, safety guidelines, and a review of oils with narrower and wider therapeutic margins. Amanda also will discuss essential-oil uses including baths, diffusers, inhalation and topical applications.
