Aromatherapy oils

Aromatherapy oils are extracted from the flowers, leaves or bark of plants and trees and have been found to provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly and safely. Never ever use any essential oil undiluted, regardless of what advice you were given. Even if you have no reaction initially, you can become sensitized towards a particular oil over time.

The safe dilution rate for most oils are 6 to 8 drops per bath. Use less of a strong oil like clove, peppermint or cinnamon.
Mixed with carrier oils, the following is recommended:
1% dilution: 5-6 drops per 30ml of carrier oil (recommended for children or frequent use)
2% dilution: 10-12 drops per 30ml of carrier oil (recommended for full body massage or similar use)
3% dilution: 15-18 drops per 30ml of carrier oil (recommended for treatment of small areas)

If you have any reaction, rinse thoroughly with water. Aromatherapy oils are amazing and have incredible benefits, but they are highly concentrated and should be treated with respect.
