Pure Essential Oils »
The information provided about the use of our oils comes from traditional knowledge and also from the increasing body of research based evidence now available or as results of commissioned research conducted on oils from our supplier plantations. The information in the 'Uses' section is about how generations of people the world over have used these oils, and is given as general interest and is not in any way to be taken as advice; medical, therapeutic or otherwise.
Our oils have not been listed by the Aust TGA or the US FDA, although in some cases the same oils from our supplier plantations, such as Tee Tree, Eucalyptus, Fragonia and Kunzia have been listed. We make no claim of any therapeutic nature about our oils.
Our oils are 100% pure and of the highest quality, they are highly concentrated, meaning, they are strong and may cause skin irritation if directly applied. It may be advisable to dilute for use; test and see.
We do advise that you seek the advice of a suitable qualified practitioner, usually an Aroma therapist or Naturopath about the appropriate use of essential oils. Finally, we wish you many hours of soothing enjoyment from our beautiful oils - 'from nature to you.'
