Thank you Marie. I am so tired of being yelled down by the essential oil brigade whenever I try to warn people about inappropriate use of essential oils, and companies that promote such use. Natural is not bloody harmless….ask any box jellyfish(the most venomous animal on earth)

I thank you too Marie. I have been teaching safe and clinical aromatherapie since 1992, so I am a kind of a dinosaur in our industry (did my diploma back in 1990 at the Shirley Price College). I wrote 10 books, one of them is a comprehensive reference book now in its 7th edition.

That's the reason why I find this bad practice (which is now becoming more and more common in our industry) so annoying and appalling. And so dangerous. Especially when essential oils are applied on innocent children. So a video like yours is soooo precious!

I used tea tree oil undiluted on my face for pimples a few years ago. I ended up in ER. My entire face swelled. Body swelled. Eyes shut and hives from top to bottom. Spent a week in my bsmt with the heat off to bring the hives down. 🔥

I was at a veterinary hospital (my dog was getting chemo) and I noticed a young lady crying in the waiting room. She told me that she'd been there since 4 a.m. when she'd rushed her dog there and that her dog had tea tree oil poisoning. They didn't know if he was going to make it or not. I felt terrible for her. Then I remembered all the times I had used tea tree on and around my dogs thinking it was okay. Fortunately, my dogs never had a negative reaction (that I know of), but I never used it again.

Asbestos is all-natural.
But I wouldn’t suggest inhaling it.

Thank you so very much . Everything you are talking about is so true . I have a lady I follow who actually wrote a book on the dangers of essential oils. They are absolutely not all pure and can become reactive in so many different ways . For all us newbies it's important to know what we are dealing with . Less is more when it comes to bottled essential oils . There are good and bad places to purchase from so we all need to stay safe . Thank you again for your informative video. I love your content, knowledge, , and kindness in the way you approach your videos . Yes I subscribe to your channel and have almost all your videos saved to my library . Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us . Have a great day ❤

This was an extremely helpful video. I watch all your videos and take notes on almost everything you say. I am starting my own business and you are the best go to for all my information. Thank you so much for all your help and education on just about anything I have questions on. You are truly the best and most informative I have ever come across. <3

You are a great teacher, the cayenne and paprika example really resonated with me.

[FrankieSmith-gs]

Honestly, I’ve learnt more from you than I did in the Formula Botanica course. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for this informative video. I burnt my hand with an essential oil that took a couple of months to fully heal. It was so painful and I regret not wearing gloves.

[kgrimes]

Thank you, I was kinda confused about what an essential oils or the difference.

[blackbutterfly]

I legitimately had someone argue with me that they can use essential oils straight with no carriers. They were so adamant that what they were talking about was facts 🤦🏻‍♀️

[ariel.rangel]

thank you for this lovely video! I was wondering if i could use lemon and persian lime in a night serum, is this too stron for daily use and the face area? can you make a video on how to use citric ingredients, specially EO in a safe way? thank you so much again!

[lizlibbey]

Great information, thank you. I’m loving your hair!! Yes, I’m a curly 😊

[boop]

Thankyou so much Marie. Along these lines I was wondering if you might be able to help with a video or blog outlining exactly how to properly understand the IFRA website. I have tried and for some reason can't find usage information on it. I'm sure I'm missing something and feel so stupid, but I really want to stop feeling like I have to rely on information (often wrong or incomplete) from other random sources. I want to properly understand the IFRA guidelines and how to read them for all essential oils. Thanks again and I hope you can help, I have asked other youtubers to no avail. xx
