IMPORTANT NOTICE
Plants are our great allies, but they can interact with drugs, not suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding or for our personal sensibilities.
It is therefore always advisable to ask the suggestion of a professional.
Essential Oils, in the majority of cases, must be used diluted in carrier oils or with other vegetal substances.
As it treats of essences, they can also be irritating, especially for particularly sensitive people.
