For <strong>pregnant<\/strong> or breast-feeding women, most uses are contraindicated: it&#8217;s best to abstain and opt for gentler alternatives such as hydrolats.

In all cases, <strong>essential oils<\/strong> should never be applied pure to the skin: they should always be diluted in a suitable <strong>vegetable oil<\/strong>, to reduce the risk of skin irritation or sensitization.  <\/p><p data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1719\">The choice of product is also important. Choose a certified organic <strong>essential oil<\/strong>, distilled in France or from a traced origin, and read the instructions on the bottle carefully.
