Essential Oil Use Chart

How do I use these oils? Here is an Essential Oil Use Chart. It tells which ones are topical, aromatic, and dietary. It includes the dilution ratio for both application and consumption. ("NEAT" means undiluted.)

It also gives cautions for: children, pregnancy, epilepsy, etc.

This essential oil use chart is for therapeutic-grade Young Living essential oils. Using low quality essential oils can be dangerous.

Please read the Basic Safety Guidelines before using essential oils. You will learn some quick do's and don't that will help prevent potential problems.

Please Note: The information on this page is for educational purposes only. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Please see our full disclaimer. Any essential oil benefits that you receive are your responsibility. ;)   I hope you enjoy this essential oil use chart.
