Does using Essential oils on Multiple Clients (in a day) affect the Aromatherapist?
I was asked this recently, it got me thinking! About Me as an Aromatherapists wellbeing.
So I researched πAnd yes if proper procedures are not followed then it can!
I always use a hand sanitiser after a client β¦β¦ wrong it does not counteract the essential oils! I do wash my hands but not straight away β¦..also wrong. So with this in mind I delved deeper. So Wash Hands immediately after a client and use a non essential oil Hand Balm.
Clean out Diffusers (I do this)
Ventilate the Therapy Room (I do this)
Also important To The Aromatherapists Wellbeing:
* Rotation of Oils: Avoid using the same few essential oils every day for a long period of time. Rotating the oils used can help reduce the risk of sensitization to specific chemical components (e.g., limonene, linalool, eugenol).
I have been an Aromatherapist for over 20 years and this has never been pointed out to me!
But as I always say I am alway learning, updating and researching information.
Thank you to my Daughter-in-Law Anna for the concern π
This will go on my blog page too ππ
