* Chronic Disease – Experts do not recommend using amyris essential oil if you have a terminal illness, cancer, epilepsy or a number of other conditions. Speak to your doctor if you have any pre-existing conditions or prescriptions that might complicate your use of this essential oil.
* Skin Irritation – As with many essential oils, amyris essential oil could result in skin irritation, particularly in those with sensitive skin. Apply a small amount to a patch of skin and wait 2-3 hours for any reaction before using it on a larger scale.
* Ingestion – : Amyris oil is not intended for oral ingestion. There is no reason to ever consume this essential oil, as it can cause severe stomach upset, nausea or vomiting. Using this oil in a diffuser will provide all the internal effects you require.
* Pregnancy – If pregnant or breast-feeding, it is best not to use this essential oil, although in aromatherapy or diffuser applications, it can be considered safe. Before using this oil in any form, speak to your doctor about your particular condition.
* Amyris oil is not intended for oral ingestion.
* Before using it topically, I recommend conducting a skin patch test first to know if you have any irritations to it. Always dilute it with a carrier oil.
