This should be taken into account when using them. Our opinion Aromatherapy treatises, without always specifying it, refer to the cultivated carrot. This is what we are talking about here: it is allowed to go to seed, precisely with a view to marketing the seeds, and some of it is distilled for aromatherapy. It is a pity that organic quality is almost non-existent, which is not the case with the Wild Carrot, which is also part of our range. Precautions for use Contraindicated in women wishing to have children, in pregnant and breastfeeding women, and in young children. Not for prolonged internal use. Not recommended for hormone-dependent disorders. 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). Avoid contact with the eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Store away from heat and light. This essential oil is pure and therefore powerful. This essential oil can be used in cooking if it is diluted beforehand according to the recommendations, dispersed in a fat (oil, dairy), alcoholic or syrupy substance (honey, syrup). It cannot be ingested pure.
