Blog Entry: HOW TO USE MAGICKAL OILS There are also many oils and blends, which may be used for more than one purpose. The power of the blend is in the direct ratio of the specific oils for a set magickal purpose. NEVER take an Essential oil INTERNALLY. Essential oils do not mix with water, and in an undiluted form they may damage the lining of the digestive tract. In addition, some essential oils are toxic if taken internally. Store in dark bottles, away from light and heat, and well of our reach of young children and pets! Light and heat cause the chemical ingredients in the oils to break down and become less potent. In general, essential oils should not be applied neat to the skin- always dilute them in a carrier oil or cream first. There are exceptions to this however, such as the use of neat lavender for cuts, spots, burns, etc. and certain perfume type essential oils such as sandalwood and ylang ylang. Always do a patch test first. What is not irritating to one person may be irritating to another!! Patch Test: ( Before applying any new oil to the skin, even as a perfume, it may be wise to do a patch test. If you have had allergic reactions to substances on your skin before, DEFINITELY do a patch test first. ) Put a few drops of oil on the back of your wrist, cover with a plaster (what they call a 'plaster' in merry old England is called a 'band-aid' by us Americans) or cheese cloth and leave for an hour or more. If irritation or redness occurs, bathe the area in cold water. For future use reduce the concentration level by half or avoid altogether.
