Precautions when using ESSENTIAL OILS
Important items to keep in mind. Essential oils ARE very POTENT.
​
At EOarmor.com, we search out and use only the best of organic and wildcrafted essential oils prepared just for you. EOarmor.com is your shield of protection designed for you and those you love. That being said, please use wisdom and get professional advice when using any essential oil product.
​
Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. However, scientific research has established a connection between nutrition and many disease conditions. For example, we all know that if your nose is stuffy, eucalyptus in a diffuser almost always will help clear those nasal passages. But we are not stating that in all cases, for all humans, it will work every time.
Essential oils contain very concentrated properties of the herb or plant they are distilled. For example, one drop of peppermint essential oil can be equivalent to 20 or more cups of peppermint tea. Thus, be careful and get professional advice when using any essential oil.
​
When pregnant. When life is within you, always take extra precautions and use medically sound expert advice on any supplements or products like essential oils.
​
Never place on sensitive places on the body or in the eyes. Also, if on fingers, always thoroughly wash hands with soap to avoid inadvertently getting oils in your eyes—it will burn. If this happens, constantly flush your eyes with cool water. If oils get on sensitive areas, wash gently and continually with soapy water. Always be careful, prudent, and wise.
​
Of course, keep out of the reach of children.
Ideally, store essential oils in a cool, dark location.

Great Ways to Use Essential Oils Effectively
​
Storage: Keep your essential oils in a cool, dark place.
​
For direct use on skin, a carrier oil is recommended to dilute the potency of the essential oils.
​
Air and water diffusers are primary ways to effectively use essential oils. Place some PlagueMeNot in a diffuser and sleep well.
​
Stuffy nose: Order some of our PlagueMeNot and place it in a diffuser to help a child sleep better. Just a few drops—never overdo it. Some use a cotton ball and place a few drops on the cotton ball, and clip it on the pajama top so the vapors can be inhaled throughout the night. Obviously, this would not be recommended for a baby, as they may rub the cotton ball and then their eyes. So again, wisdom in all things.
​
Some people say [we are not recommending one way or the other] that a drop or two of PlagueMeNot on the soles of your feet (then rub your feet together) works wonders with a cold or flu bug. Always test carefully and be very cautious, especially on children (just because it doesn’t bother your feet doesn’t mean it might not bother someone else’s feet).
​
Some place a drop on their tongue at the first sign of a sore throat. However, internal use of any essential oil should only be done with qualified professional advice.
​
Add a drop or two to the dishwasher to help clean and eliminate accumulating odors.
Add a couple of drops to your shoes to keep your feet feeling fresh all day!
Keep out of the reach of children.
