Great care should be used with vulnerable people and animals as in the very ill, elderly, very young, or pregnant.

If you are using any natural product you should make anyone giving you treatment aware of this.
We would like to point out that cats lack an enzyme in their liver, which means that they lack the pathways to breakdown essential oils easily. Cats particularly, people and animals generally should never be forced to stay in a closed room where aromatic or chemical compounds are being used, e.g. essential oils in a burner. Aromatic substances should be used with great care and knowledge when being added to people or animal products.
Please note that dark colored oils such as the blue oils Yarrow and German Chamomile can stain clothes and other materials.
