Yes, there are contraindications and there are three things that should be done: 1) Check each E.O. for contraindications with each resident's meds. 2)Know the E.O. effects thoroughly. 3) Check allergy to the blend (not the E.O. neat) on the inside of the elbow.
There is no one E.O. fits all but typically the safest is Lavender(Lavandula angustifolia), not Lavendin ( Lavandula intermedia). The first has the most medicinal constituents (ie relaxation) whereas Lavandin is actually a stimulant.
I have only just found you and I have been overwhelmed by the content. A week ago, I was contemplating leaving my job because I was just running out of ideas and I was getting bored doing the same old things. Not now! Thank you!
