I am a massage therapist. My new client is taking metformin. Are there any essential oils that should not be used with this medication? Thank you for your assistance!

Hello, thank you for your question! At first glance, there are no contraindications with any type of essential oil for a person taking metformin, if the oil is used in moderation. However, it will be easier for me to give you a more precise answer if you are able to tell me which essential oil you usually use? Thanks for the info! I haven't found any problems with this product. I hope I've been helpful, I'm still available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
