F.A.Q

Everything you need to know about essential oils and our app

1. What are essential oils and how do they work?

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that capture the natural scent and beneficial properties of plants. They work through aromatherapy (inhalation) or topical application, interacting with your body's systems to promote wellness.

2. Are essential oils safe to use internally?

Internal use should only be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional or certified aromatherapist. While some oils are generally recognized as safe internally in small amounts, others can be toxic. The app provides safety information for each oil, but always consult a professional first.

3. How do I choose the right essential oil for my needs?

The app makes it easy: search from 400+ health conditions to find recommended oils, or browse the database of 140+ essential oils by their benefits. Each oil profile includes therapeutic properties, safety considerations, and recommended uses.

4. What is the difference between pure and synthetic oils?

Pure essential oils are 100% natural plant extracts without additives or synthetic compounds. Synthetic oils are laboratory-created fragrances that may smell similar but lack therapeutic benefits.

5. Can I use essential oils during pregnancy?

Some essential oils should be avoided during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. Always consult your healthcare provider before using essential oils during pregnancy — the app includes safety notes for each oil regarding pregnancy and nursing.

6. How should I store my essential oils?

Store essential oils in dark glass bottles (amber or cobalt blue) away from direct sunlight and heat, in a cool, dry place with tightly closed caps. Most oils last 2-5 years when stored properly, though citrus oils have a shorter shelf life of 1-2 years.

7. What is a carrier oil and why do I need one?

Carrier oils are neutral plant oils (like coconut, jojoba, or almond oil) used to dilute essential oils before topical application, preventing irritation or sensitivity. A typical dilution is 2-3 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil for adults.

8. Can children use essential oils safely?

Yes, but with extra caution. Children's skin is more sensitive, so always use higher dilution ratios, and some oils should be avoided for young children. The app provides age-specific safety guidelines for each essential oil.

9. How many drops of essential oil should I use?

It depends on the use: for diffusing, 3-5 drops per 100ml of water; for topical application, a 1-3% dilution; for baths, 5-10 drops mixed with a dispersant like Epsom salts. The app gives specific recommendations for each method.

10. What are the best essential oils for beginners?

Great starter oils include Lavender (relaxation, sleep), Peppermint (energy, headaches), Lemon (mood), Tea Tree (skin support), and Frankincense (overall wellness) — versatile oils that are generally safe when properly diluted.

11. How long do essential oils last?

Shelf life varies by oil type. Most essential oils last 2-5 years when stored properly. Citrus oils have shorter shelf lives of 1-2 years, while woody oils and some florals can last 6-8 years or more.

12. Can I mix different essential oils together?

Absolutely — blending oils can create synergistic effects and custom aromas. The app includes 100+ expert-crafted diffuser blends and lets you create and save your own combinations.

13. What's the difference between diffusing and topical application?

Diffusing releases oil molecules into the air for inhalation, affecting mood and the respiratory system — great for ambiance. Topical application involves applying diluted oils to skin for targeted benefits. Both have unique advantages.

14. Are your recommendations based on scientific research?

The database draws on peer-reviewed research, traditional use, and certified aromatherapy practices. Content is for informational purposes only and not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition — always consult healthcare professionals for medical concerns.

15. How can the Essential Oils app help me?

It's your complete wellness companion: access 400+ health conditions with recommended oils, explore 140+ essential oil profiles, discover 100+ diffuser blends, track your inventory, receive daily wellness tips, and save your favorite recipes — free on iOS and Android.
