Cinnamon Essential Oil can be irritating to the skin. It is well diluted in this recipe and unlikely to cause any irritation, but if irritation does occur apply almond oil or another carrier oil to the affected area. Start by putting your feet in the bath to check for any adverse reactions before entering the bath. 

This recipe is safe for kids ages 10+. To make this recipe kid-safe, use two drops of Cedarwood Essential Oil instead of Cinnamon and Eucalyptus Essential Oils.
