No treatment claims
The doctrine does not prescribe herbs or oils and does not claim they diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or reliably relieve disease. “Natural” does not automatically mean safe.
Practical cautions
- Check allergies, skin sensitivity, ventilation, pregnancy, child, pet, and medication risks.
- Do not ingest essential oils unless a qualified medical professional directs a product intended for that use.
- Use culinary herbs as food only when safely identified and appropriate.
- Consult a clinician or pharmacist about interactions.
- For suspected poisoning in the United States, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 or emergency services.
