Of all the "roots of life", this is without doubt one of the most remarkable. The essential oil is clearly a reflection of this: it is the exaltation of life and symbolises carpe diem. Precautions for use Not to be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 3 years of age, or by people with epilepsy or a history of convulsions, due to the presence of turmerones (neurotoxic and abortive in high doses). Powerful essential oil, limit its use to short periods. To be used on the advice of a health professional. Risk of allergy (limonene): take care not to overdose in mixtures. An elbow test is recommended prior to any skin application (min 48 hours before use). Possible anti-estrogenic effect, take into account in case of hormonal treatment. Possible interaction with antidiabetic drugs. Avoid internal use without medical advice. Avoid contact with the eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Store away from heat and light.
