Therapeutic Substitutions
For therapeutic substitutions, the rules are quite different from those of aromatic substitutions. The aroma of the substituted oil can be quite different than the original oil as long as the aroma is still pleasing to work with.
Be sure to pay close attention to the desired therapeutic action of the original oil and substitute it for an oil that has the same action but that does not introduce any new contraindications or safety hazards.
