Creating a Blend:

Dilution:
- Always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil (such as jojoba, sweet almond, or fractionated coconut oil) or alcohol (like perfumer’s alcohol) before applying to the skin.
- A common ratio is 15-30 drops of essential oil per 30ml (1 ounce) of carrier oil.
Aging Your Blend:
- Allow your blend to age for at least a few days, preferably a few weeks, to let the scents meld and mature.
- Store in a cool, dark place and shake occasionally.
Inhalation:
- Diffusers: Add 5-10 drops of essential oil to an ultrasonic diffuser filled with water.
- Steam Inhalation: Add 1-2 drops to a bowl of hot water, cover your head with a towel, and inhale deeply.
Topical Application:
- Dilution: Dilute essential oils in a carrier oil before applying to the skin. A common dilution is 2-3 drops per teaspoon (5ml) of carrier oil.
- Massage: Use the diluted oil for a soothing massage. Common areas include the neck, shoulders, and feet.
- Roller Bottles: Fill a roller bottle with a carrier oil and add essential oils. Apply to pulse points like wrists, temples, and behind the ears.
