• The formula not  fully massaged into the skin. 

• Clean off the oil after a massage or application with a tissue or towel.

• Mist sprays not used carefully.

• Vapors not inhaled deeply from the inhaler or the mist spray formulas.

• Application of the essential oils near the eyes and other sensitive areas of the body causing discomfort.

• Not using dark colored glass bottles to store oils and leaving them exposed to light.

• Using stimulating essential oils before bedtime and sleep-inducing essential oils during the daytime.

Instead, take the following care in order to get the optimum benefit of Aromatherapy

• The oils should be massaged for at least half an hour.

• Instead of cleaning off the remains with tissue or towel, cornstarch or arrowroot powder should be rubbed to dry off.

• Mist should fall in front of the face with eyes closed.

Hardly any vapours enter the breathing passage if they are not inhaled deeply or properly.

• Be careful while applying oil near eyes or other sensitive parts of the body because this can result in irritation causing discomfort.

The effectiveness of the oils is reduced when they are improperly stored.

Stimulating oils should not  be used before bed time.
