Caution
There are always two sides to one coin. One has to be careful while using these oils. When bought from the store, these oils tend to be highly concentrated.
Hence, caution needs to be exerted when using it directly on skin or for local application like for teeth and gum related problems.
Always take less amount of oil when using it directly without dilution. This is not only as a precaution but also to avoid any allergic reactions to the application of excess oil. This way, not only will it help therapeutically but also a small glass bottle of oil will suffice for a long time, thus being cost effective.
