In an effort to continue offering aromatherapy education centered around safety, we’ve been collecting data on cases of adverse effects of essential oils for a little less than a year. We’ve had over 30 cases submitted. We are now releasing our first report!
This is only representative of 34 cases, but it serves as a learning tool help us all create safer practices.
Please review and share!
I cannot help but notice that some of the "injuries" could very well have been the symptoms that required a remedy. The OnGuard user (I think it was ID #8) complained of sneezing. It seems that someone taking OnGuard might be already in the prcoess of developing (or fighting) a cold, which could lead to sneezing.
ID #21 complained of flatulence after taking a mix of oils that are meant to help with intestinal discomfort. Isn’t it actually expected that one would experience the release of gas after experiencing intestinal discomfort?
I certainly don’t want to nit-pick. I merely want to understand the severity of what is being reported. I use some of these oils and am looking for safer ways to use them, which is what led me here in the first place.
