Precautions & Patch Test Guidance
Do not let concentrated essential oil droplets rest directly on raw silk fabrics; ensure all oil is absorbed into cedar chips or cotton before hanging in closets.
For any topical preparation, always conduct a 24-hour inner-arm skin patch test first. Informational traditional wisdom only—not medical advice. Read full Health Disclaimer .
