Hi Dottie,

Some info on EO's

following info taken from: http://www.holisticat.com/caution_arch4.html
Oils that have dangerous Chemical Groups "The most dangerous EO are the ones that contain PHENOLS-chemical group that is HEPATOXIC (cause toxicity of the liver) These include: Oregano,Thyme,Eucalyptus,Clove,Cinnamon,Bay Leaf,Parsley,Savory

Another potent chemical group is the Ketones which are NEUROTOXIC (cause neurological responses) These include: Cedar Leaf*, Sage*, Hyssop*, Cyprus*, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Mint ,Caraway*, Citronella ,Clove* ,Ginger*, Chamomile, Thyme, Rosemary.

One should be particularly cautious of the oils listed with an asterix*.

Remember that EO,s are absorbed by the skin and a neurological reaction can occur through topical application. NEVER USE THESE OILS ON CATS.

".KEEP EO'S OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN &PETS." "SOME EO'S CAN BE TOXIC TO CATS EVEN WHEN DIFFUSED. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO KEEP DIFFUSERS AWAY FROM INFANTS AND PETS" -Handbook of Essential Oils -Jo Serrentino
