Print this page or write down the uses and place in the container with your essential oils so that you always have a reference for some of the basic uses of the oils.
5
Now that your essential oil basic care kit is put together, you are ready to use it. You will find that you will use some oils more then others over time and you may want to add other necessities to your kit.
Tips & Warnings
It's best to store your essential oils in a cool, dark, dry location-this will allow for a longer shelf life and keep the oils from going bad. The bathroom medicine cabinet is not recommended since the bathroom temperatures fluctuate and is usually very damp.
Test the oils on the skin if you have a reaction, discontinue use, you can still use the oil around the house just not on the skin.
Don't use any essential oil undiluted unless stated otherwise.
