Safety Considerations:

1. Dilution: Lemon verbena essential oil should be diluted before applying it to the skin. It is recommended to use a carrier oil, such as coconut oil or almond oil, and follow appropriate dilution ratios. A general guideline is to use a 2-3% dilution, meaning adding 12-18 drops of essential oil per ounce (30 mL) of carrier oil.

2.  Patch Test: Before applying lemon verbena essential oil topically, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions or sensitivity. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

3.  Photosensitivity: Like many citrus essential oils, lemon verbena oil may cause photosensitivity. If applied topically, it is advised to avoid direct sunlight or UV exposure for at least 12 hours after use.

4. Allergies: Individuals with known allergies to citrus fruits or essential oils should exercise caution when using lemon verbena essential oil. It's important to be aware of any potential allergic reactions and discontinue use if any adverse effects occur.

5. Pregnancy and Children: Lemon verbena essential oil should be used with caution during pregnancy. It's best to consult with a healthcare professional or qualified aromatherapist before using it. Children and babies should also avoid direct use of essential oils without proper guidance from a healthcare professional.

6. Internal Use: Internal use of lemon verbena essential oil is not recommended without the guidance of a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare professional. It's important to note that not all essential oils are safe for ingestion, and proper dosage and guidance are crucial.
