Risks

Cassia oil is considered safe for aromatherapy massage. However, users should be cautious of some risks associated with the oil.

Users can suffer risks when the oil is too concentrated or not suitable for their skin. The risks include skin redness, skin irritation, allergies, and skin itching. These risks can be avoided by conducting a patch test before undergoing the aromatherapy massage.

The test is carried out by rubbing two or three drops of Cassia essential oil on a small portion of the skin some days before the massage. The reaction it makes with the skin will help to determine whether to use the oil for aromatherapy massage or choose a different oil.

Like every other oil, Cassia essential oil should not be ingested into the body. The product may contain some substances that are dangerous to the internal organs. If it’s ingested, the person should be taken to the medical center for proper examination and treatment.
