Essential Oils
The following is a list of essential oils that are used in aromatherapy and massage. I will be building
pages on each individual oil, that will have information about that oil, including the different
properties and health benefits.
Some of the essential oils will have warnings about their use, such as not to use undiluted, or don't use
if you will be out in the sun. Not all of the oils listed are safe to use without specialized knowledge.
Any text that is underlined in the following list is an active link to another page. I will be adding more
as time allows. You can also check out my Aromatherapy page for
additional information on the history of Aromatherapy, and how it works.

Basic Safety
Essential Oils are very concentrated and in most cases should always be diluted in oil or
lotion before using on the skin. Avoid contact with the eyes or mucus membranes. If this happens, you can
flush the area using a vegetable oil or milk. Do not use water, as that will drive the oils deeper in.
Some of the essential oils are phototoxic, such as Bergamot, Orange, and Lemon, and should not be used
directly on the skin before going out in the sun.

"Essential oils have been used throughout history for several purposes.
The first is for their therapeutic use. They are dynamic aids in healing and in restoring bodily health.
The second primary use is for the spiritual upliftment that they can bring to the individual."
