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
