Essential Oils

GENERAL DILUTION GUIDELINES:

Adults: Usually, a 2-3% dilution is suitable, about 12-18 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil.

Children (5-10), Frail Elderly, Sensitive Skin: A lower dilution of 1% or less (6 drops per ounce).

Facial or Sensitive Areas: Use a 0.5-1% dilution (3-6 drops per ounce).

Acute or Short-Term Use: For resolving a specific issue, a marginally higher dilution can be used for a period of 2-3 weeks as necessary.

Before broader application, perform a patch test to confirm individual tolerance. Essential oils, due to their high potency, should always be handled with caution.

Practical Applications

For Bathing

With Salts: 5-6 drops of essential oils + 2 ounces of Pink Himalayan salt + 1 Tbsp of carrier oil. Mix well and add to your bath.

With Milk: 3-4 drops of essential oil + 1 cup whole milk + 1Tbsp carrier oil. Mix well and add to your bath.

Carrier Oils: 3-4 drops of essential oil + 1 Tbsp carrier oil. Mix well and add to your bath.

For Steaming

1 drop of essential oil or blend + one bowl of steamy water.

Make sure that the water is just steaming, not boiling.

CLOSE YOUR EYES and lean over the bowl to breathe in the oil.

If it feels too hot, give the water more time to cool.

For Inhaling

For Adults: 15-18 drops of essential oil + a cotton inhaler wick.

For Children 5+: 4-5 drops of essential oil + a cotton inhaler wick.

For Spraying

10-15 drops of essential oil + 4 drops of Solubol (Dispersant) for each drop of essential oil. Add to empty 2 fl oz. PET bottle with spray cap.

Next, add water/ hydrosol to fill the bottle, cover + shake gently to disperse the essential oils into the solution.

Spray freely in any room or on linens.

Note: We recommend a 4:1 ratio of Solubol to essential oil. This will help ensure consistent dispersion of the essential oils into the water-based portion of the blend.
