精油与芳香疗法安全性2
[b]Essential Oils & Aromatherapy Safety[/b]Here are some other key safety tips:
-- Before you use a new essential oil you should always do a skin test. [b]Dab(v.[/b][b]轻拍，轻敷)[/b] a drop on your arm, wait a day, and see what happens. Hopefully nothing happens. If you break out, [b]itch(v.[/b][b]痒)[/b], develop a [b]rash[/b][b]（n.[[/b][b]医][/b][b]皮疹）[/b], or something else out of the ordinary happens, don’t use that oil.
-- More is not better with essential oils. Essential oils are very powerful and super concentrated. If I see that a recipe calls for 2-3 drops of [b]peppermint[/b][b]（n.[/b][b]薄荷油）[/b], I may try 4 drops but never 10 drops. You never want to overuse oil.
-- The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) recommends not [b]ingesting[/b][b]（v.[/b][b]吞服）[/b] oils when you might be able to get the same benefits from massage. There are some treatments that require ingestion or [b]gargling(v.[/b][b]漱口)[/b] of essential oils, but they’re rare. Unless you know your oils very well, I suggest not ingesting any. Many are toxic when ingested.
-- If you’re pregnant never use oils without the direct advice of a care provider who is well-[b]versed [/b][b]（adj.[/b][b]精通的）[/b]in oils. While many essential oils are good for treating pregnancy issues, some can bring on early labor, and other negative side effects.
-- I always used essential oils with my son, even when he was a baby. However, I always did a skin test first, talked with his [b]pediatrician[/b]([b]n.[/b][b]儿科医生[/b]), and I have experience with oils. In any case it’s good to use smaller amounts of oil for baby treatments, and never leave a bottle out where your young children can reach it.
以下是其它几点重要安全事宜：
· 每次尝试新的精油前，都要做个皮测。在手臂上滴上一滴，一天后看看有没有一样。最好是没有任何状况。如果突感不适，痒，起疹子或其它非正常反应出现，那就不要用这款精油。
· 精油可不是多多益善的。它们威力很强，而且具有高浓缩度。要是说明上写每天用2-3滴薄荷，我可能用4滴，但绝不会用10滴。使用精油千万不能过量。
· 根据美国国家全身芳疗协会（NAHA)，在可以通过按摩达到治疗效果的情况下，不建议直接服用。有些疗法可能涉及到服用或含漱，但这种情况相当少。除非你非常了解自己的精油，建议绝对不要直接服用。许多精油可在服用后产生毒素。
· 孕妇食用精油必须有明确的指导，指导人对精油十分了解。虽然许多精油有缓解孕期不适的作用，有些可能导致早产以及其它不良反应。
· 从我儿子很小开始，我就给他用精油了。但我总是先做个皮肤测试并且咨询医师。我在精油方面是有经验的。无论怎么说，小孩子用一点精油是有好处的，但绝对不要把整瓶放置在幼儿可触及的地方。
