Quintessential Oils

Therapeutic Index (D thru H)

All contents of this site are to be used as informational guidelines only. We are not responsible for the misuse of any of the essential oils listed. Because of their high concentration, a little bit goes a long way. Most essential oils may cause skin irritations if not diluted in a carrier oil. Some oils may be toxic if taken internally or used in excessive quantities. We do not advocate taking essential oils internally. Proceed carefully and with guidance from a trained aromatherapist if any of the following situations exist: pregnancy, breastfeeding, high blood pressure, epilepsy, open wounds, diabetes, rashes, neurological disorders, or if taking prescription medications or homeopathic remedies. Keep out of reach of children and pets! Listed below is a list of possible therapeutic uses. For a list of known contra-indications see our Safety Page. We highly recommend consulting an aromatherapy book which explains the benefits and contraindications of each oil. A Glossary of Medical Terms is available for referencing different properties.
