Can you use essential oils in an oil warmer? Do you have to mix them with some sort of carrier oil first?
i think they should be fine aslong as they aint flamable
Where can i get essential oils in edison,nj area and also vitamin E oil(not those capsules)?
Not those scented oils,i searched in harmon,sally,bath and body works??Where can i get essential oils in edison,nj area and also vitamin E oil(not those capsules)?
I don't know where Edison, NJ is, but do you have any health food stores near you or a Whole Foods? They usually sell essential oils, and I've seen vitamin E oil (in little bottles, not capsules) at WF before.
I don't think Bath and Body Works sells essential oils, I think they're just fragrance oils.

I am mixing 3 Essential Oils, what does it means when they say 1 part or 2 parts to the Carrier Oil?
I will end up with 10mls altogether.I am mixing 3 Essential Oils, what does it means when they say 1 part or 2 parts to the Carrier Oil?
One amount of the oil to double the amount of carrier oil or of course two parts.
It's to make sure the complete mixture isn't too strongI am mixing 3 Essential Oils, what does it means when they say 1 part or 2 parts to the Carrier Oil?
It means that for every measurement of one, add the same of the other TIMES the number of parts.
For example: 1 part essential oil to 2 parts carrier means that if you add 1 ml essential oil, add 2 ml carrier.
for 10 mL of the right proportions (2 part is weaker than 1 part), use the following recipes. 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.
2 part carrier:
1.1 mL of each essence (or any combination to = about 3.3 ml),
and 6.7 ml of carrier oil (grape seed, etc)
1 part carrier:
1.7 mL of each essence (or any combination to = about 5 ml),
and 5 ml of carrier oil (grape seed, etc)
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.
So 10ml = 5 drops, 20ml = 10 drops, 40ml = 20 drops.
Easy really.

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.
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.
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.
I am an alternative medicinal therapist including aromatherapy.Here is an easier way of doing this:
iF YOU USE 20 DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OILS YOU ADD THIS TO =2FL OZ OF CARRIER OIL
iF YOU USE 10 DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OIL YOU ADD THIS TO 1FL OZ OF CARRIER OIL
5 DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OIL YOU ADD THIS TO A HALFFL OZ OR YOU CAN DO IT ANOTHER WAY
20 DROPS = 60ML OR 10 TSP OF CARRIER OIL
10 DROPS = 30ML OR 5 TSP OF CARRIER OIL
5 DROPS = 15ML OR 2 %26amp; A HALF TSP OF CARRIER OIL
4 DROPS = 2 TSP OF CARRIER OIL

The carrier oil may be something like sweet almond or grape seed oil. Usually you add only drops of essential oils to 10mls of carrier oil.
eg. 1 drop of geranium and 2 drops of lavender to 10mls sweet almond oil

Mango seeds are processed for their oil. It is not an essential oil. It is a fat. Mango seeds are cold pressed. There is a fair amount of heavy-duty equipment used to grind and press the seeds and to separate the oil from the total.domain name hosting

Why is sandalwood essential oil so expensive and where can i buy it cheaper?
Help please! :]
XxxWhy is sandalwood essential oil so expensive and where can i buy it cheaper?
if you dont think $14 is tyoo expensive then try bath and body works or just hit on ebay they have eveything and i mean everythingWhy is sandalwood essential oil so expensive and where can i buy it cheaper?
It's expensive because it is rare.
If you see it selling cheaply it's probably diluted.
The tree Santalum album is a parasitic plant growing in Southern India. The plant is nearing an endangered state, the Indian government has a few patents for synthetic Sandalwood oil and it is possible that true Sandalwood will become unavailable shortly.
its a tree that is slowly being wiped away..its a tree that is protected in india..i have no idea where u can buy it cheaper...but is it really essential?..:-)
All high quality essential oils are expensive, but they are worth it.

Got an empty essential oil bottle, and the oil doesn't come out, why? What can I do to get some drops?
Is it my carrier oil (castor) that is too thick for that kind of bottle?
http://www.metime.net.au/images/uploads/鈥?/a>Got an empty essential oil bottle, and the oil doesn't come out, why? What can I do to get some drops?
I would expect a deformity in the plastic spout tip. You could try to enlargen it with a knife, or go back and ask for an exchange. 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?
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. Sometime oils dry up in the spout.
