Essences must be mixed with oil because they can be harsh on the skin. So, if you can't measure to the .1 mL, you can estimate, but when in doubt, round down on the essences. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />2 part carrier:<br><br /><br />1.1 mL of each essence (or any combination to = about 3.3 ml), <br><br /><br />and 6.7 ml of carrier oil (grape seed, etc)<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />1 part carrier:<br><br /><br />1.7 mL of each essence (or any combination to = about 5 ml), <br><br /><br />and 5 ml of carrier oil (grape seed, etc)<br >I think you need to simplify this or you will get totally confused. Use 10ml of base oil, divide the 10 by 2, giving you 5 of course. 5 is how many drops of essential oil to put in the base oil.<br><br /><br />So 10ml = 5 drops, 20ml = 10 drops, 40ml = 20 drops.<br><br /><br />Easy really.<br><br /><br />Paul<br><br /><br />Watts %26amp; Flavell Natural Product Co.<br><br /><br />www.wattsandflavell.co.uk<br >If you want more info on uses and measurements of essntial oils, go into holland and barrett and ask. They will talk you thru it, and you could also buy books to consult at leisure.<br >Essential oils are potent and should never be used unless they have been dilated first, either in water, for a bath, or with a plain carrier oil, for massage. applying double the dose of essential oils does not mean you get twice the benefits: some oils in excess will make you feel nauseous, others are highly toxic. all of them are so powerful that they are measured in drops. always use essential oils properly, safely and for maximum benefit, always follow the instructions. When blending essential oils, first measure the carrier oil then the essential oil, mix well together. Different oils/carriers have different healing ingredients that's why we mix the oils together. some essential oils can cancel each other out, and some can clash. others help one another therapeutically: for example, chamomile's anti-inflammatory action is strenghtened by lavender. be careful when mixing at home. look out for aromatherapy books in shops or even charity shops, as it will tell you all you need to know about essential oils what they are made from and what to mix with to get the best results for you. Good luck.<br >It means if you use 1 drop of essence to 1 drop of oil for 1 part oil and for 2 parts oil it mean use 2 drops of oil to 1 drop of essence.<br >I am an alternative medicinal therapist including aromatherapy.Here is an easier way of doing this:<br><br /><br />iF YOU USE 20 DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OILS YOU ADD THIS TO =2FL OZ OF CARRIER OIL<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />iF YOU USE 10 DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OIL YOU ADD THIS TO 1FL OZ OF CARRIER OIL<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />5 DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OIL YOU ADD THIS TO A HALFFL OZ OR YOU CAN DO IT ANOTHER WAY<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />20 DROPS = 60ML OR 10 TSP OF CARRIER OIL<br><br /><br />10 DROPS = 30ML OR 5 TSP OF CARRIER OIL<br><br /><br />5 DROPS = 15ML OR 2 %26amp; A HALF TSP OF CARRIER OIL<br><br /><br />4 DROPS = 2 TSP OF CARRIER OIL<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you need anymore help e mail me but give me your full e mail address for a reply<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Gloria(BSYA)<br><br /><br />gloriashealth@btinternet.com<br >The carrier oil may be something like sweet almond or grape seed oil.

It should work better than that. You could also try changing your carrier oil to see if that is the problem.Got an empty essential oil bottle, and the oil doesn't come out, why? What can I do to get some drops?<br >Spout is plenty thick on that..... trying putting in a little less oil in the bottle- do you have it filled to the tippy top? Might just need a little air to get out. Also make sure your spout is clean and stick a pin though it to make sure the oil can get out.

Lavender is very soothing and when mixed with a clay mask will provide a skin clearing affect while providing an aromatherapy like experience.Lavender oil is antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and cooling which makes it great for clearing breakout and with a clay mask can help to calm skin. I would only recommend a few drops though as essential oils can be drying to the skin. Try using jojoba oil because it is known to be similar to natural moisture of the skin and may help the clay from drying your skin. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Vote me for best answer!!!Is it okay to use lavender essential oil in a clay face mask? or is it harmful?<br >It depends on if you have sensitive skin or not. If you do, it would probably be ok.

It reduces stress and calms the nervous system, lifts depression and eases headaches and insomnia too 鈾?br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />caution ~ avoid using for the first 4 months ofpregnancy, longer if there is a history of miscarriage........... if that is the case simply substitue for chamomile tea ... Chamomile tea is a classic and popular bedtime anti - insomnia drink and will soothe the over excitable, relieve mental strain and stress, depression and insomnia............... only organic though, as the commercial varieties have had nearly all the essential oils pulverised from them and could never possibly be used for therapeutic purposes.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />take care of you 鈾?br><br /><br /> <br><br /><br />CHEERS<br><br /><br />鈾?br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Star 4 u !! ....:0)Can you use essential oils in tea?

Would you put Perfume or cologne in your tea? In a sense that's sorta what you're asking. Essential oils can be used on the skin if made for that or in a vaporizer. Use the essential oils for what they were made for not anything else.. you don't want to make yourself sick do you?<br >essential oils arent supposed to be taken orally. The neat oils shouldnt be put straight onto skin either...they must be mixed in a base oil, such as olive oil and then used on the skin for massage or alternatively you can put a few drops in bath water... To help you sleep, try putting a few drops of the neat oil on your pillow. DONT DRINK IT!!<br >I am an Aromatherapist and I would recommend putting just a drop of lavender on your pillow at night, and remember that less is better don't try adding more to help you sleep because it will have the opposite effect. if it is too strong it will act as a stimulant. As for the tea why not try chamomile tea it is very relaxing. Ingesting a drop of lavender wont kill you, I have had it before with mixed with honey but I wouldn't recommend it really doesn't taste nice at all!!!! There are very highly qualified Aromatherapist that do ingest essential oils but they have done a lot if research and that's a whole other story!!<br >It depends on the essential oil. How about the essential oil of banana that is in bananas?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />It does pay to use care. Some herb and essential oil cataloges separate the edible oils from the others.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Look up essential oils.

Give the dog a bath in it. 10 drops in a tub of water.it is not toxic.You cannot apply it from the bottle to dog because it evaporates fast and absorbs instantly. when you put some drops on your hand to rub the dog it will already be absorbed into your skin, and yes it is a good repellent.What kind of essential lavender oil is safe? ?<br >Make sure the oil is medical grade, it should say it on the bottle.Wanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05398412915723362259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818924414023176726.post-83764262337176312292010-01-07T01:25:00.002-08:002010-01-07T01:25:32.299-08:00I need to use heater for baby pet rat ,but air gets very dry.if i use humidifier can i put in100%essential oil?i mainly use neroli,lavendar,grapefruit high quality oils diluted in water and then added to humidifier.is this harmful or dangerous to baby pet rats? or will they like it?I need to use heater for baby pet rat ,but air gets very dry.if i use humidifier can i put in100%essential oil?<br >I would NOT use any essential oils for baby rats.

I'm a huge fan of essential oils but I have read several times that they should not be used in a humidifiers for infants, puppies or kittens. I would follow the same guidelines for baby rats.

An absolute is the refined concetrate of the herb. An absolute is much stronger and also more expensive. Essential oils can be easier to use in a number of situations (fragraces, lotions, and other uses). Hope this helps! Good luck and blessed be. V-In aromatherapy, what is the difference between an essential oil and an absolute?<br >What are Absolutes? <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Like their essential oil counterparts, absolutes are highly aromatic liquids extracted from plants. Absolutes, however, are extracted in a complex manner that requires the use of chemical solvents that are later removed during the final stages of production.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Sometimes, the hot steam or water used to distill an essential oil does not extract much natural oil from the plant or harms the precious natural oil. The solvent extraction methods are often used in these cases.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />As a rule, absolutes are more concentrated than their essential oil cousins. Where it is true that a little essential oil goes a long way, a little absolute goes an even longer way.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />A very trace amount of solvent can remain in the final absolute. This indeed is a disadvantage to using absolutes as aromatherapy focuses on the use of pure and natural plant matter. Although the amount of remaining solvent is minimal, absolutes are used in true aromatherapy with care, respect and knowledge. Essential oils should never be taken internally by anyone that is not trained, educated and experienced at doing so. Absolutes should never be taken internally by anyone because of that small amount of trace solvent that may remain.Wanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05398412915723362259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818924414023176726.post-29161889604417235412010-01-07T01:24:00.001-08:002010-01-07T01:24:28.788-08:00Where can i buy cheap essential/fragrance oil in Malaysia?No online websites please.. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I want to make my own fragrant potpourri..

As far as I know, you can find Hinode shops in Tesco everywhere. Heck, even Tesco's got them, in the aisle selling photo frames and scented candles. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Hope you'll find the scent you want :)Wanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05398412915723362259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818924414023176726.post-84516311704730736182010-01-07T01:24:00.000-08:002010-01-07T01:24:12.708-08:00Which essential oil is good/best for acne scars?I mean the deep red scars, not the brown spots.<br><br /><br />Thanks.Which essential oil is good/best for acne scars?<br >I know some people use rosehip oil for acne scarring and have received good results from it. http://www.uncleharrys.com/infobase/prod鈥?/a><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />This website also says to use lavender, citrus, and tea tree oil.
