I'd like start vaporizing an essential oil while i am studying to help me stay focused, but i don't know what is a good essential oil to try. I've heard from some, that lemon and/or orange is good, but I'm not sure.What's the best essential oil to stimulate the mind and increase concentration? ?
Basil, Eucalyptus, Hyssop and Niaouli are all good for stimulation and concentration.

To stay focused, the best essential oils are Frankincense (carterii) and Cypress
Geranium Bourbon also good if you like its scent.
Check this website for essential oils properties.

You can approach this 2 ways. You can diffuse an oil that increases alertness, or you can diffuse an oil that you will then expose yourself to when you need to recall.
For alertness use Basil, Peppermint, Rosemary or Caraway.
If you'd like to approach you study and recall method with the other option, I would suggest something that you like that isn't offensive to others and that is not known to be sedating. You could add it to a lotion and apply to your hands when needed.
I think it can be personal, different oils for different folks. I would agree on orange (bitter or sweet) and lemon. Also Neroli (orange blossom) would be good to reduce the stress and anxiety in order to allow for focus. A little goes a long way in all cases. Everything else mentioned here holds water too. If you are a student get the cheapest! ;)
Lemon is great for concentration and focus, but cedarwood is even better since it also helps with memory as well as concentration and focus.

Peppermint and Spearmint are excellent oils to improve concentration.
I've always used eucalyptus and tee tree oil. Orange is good too.

How many drops of essential oil does it take to make an ounce?
It's a rough estimate, but usually about 600 drops. But it will be more for a thin oil and less for thick.
A ounce is also about two tablespoons.How many drops of essential oil does it take to make an ounce?
Around 900, here's how I got there. One ounce is 30 mls, one ml is 30 drops, 30 X 30= 900.How many drops of essential oil does it take to make an ounce?
it depends on whether it is sold on fluid once or weight once
if it is liquid one once is 30 mls or 2 TBLS
IN the Country I live in they are sold by the fluid once
One thing to watch for is to make sure the essential oils you get are 100% pure or are called absolute oil
absolute oils are more $$ but they are more consintrated so you need less.
The number of drops it takes will depend on the density of the oil. Some liquids are more dense than others, meaning that a drop of one liquid will weigh more than a drop of another liquid. If you really need an ounce of a specific oil, you'll need to weigh it. Put a container on a scale, zero the scale, and then put drops of the oil into the container until the scale says ';one ounce.';

Not the exact amount, if anybody could just give me a rough amount that would be fabulous!
Thanks!Roughly how many drops in a 10ml bottle of essential oil?
a lot... 1 ml is about 20-40 drops of liquid, depending on the specific gravity... so 20x10=200 or 40x10=400... so I'd guess maybe 200-400 drops?Roughly how many drops in a 10ml bottle of essential oil?
250 a ot anyway im an aromatherapist dont over do it theyre very potent but work really well if used properly!
The metric drop is 1/20 mL (50 渭L).
The medical drop is 1/12 mL (83 1/3 渭L).
So it is between 120 and 200 drops depending on the drop size.

How do you make essential oil ?
I was told you use a base oil and cook the herbs in it , but I thought essential oil was pure oil from the plant and not mixed with a base oil.How do you make essential oil ?
You're right, essential oil is pure plant oil. The oil you're talking about is herbal infused oil. If you've heard of calendula oil or St. John's wort oil, those are infused oils - base (carrier) oils infused with herbs. It's usually not cooked, or even heated, but it's the same thing.
Essential oils are steam distilled, although most citrus oils are cold pressed. Some oils are solvent extracted (CO2s and absolutes), and technically they aren't considered essential oils, but most of the time they're grouped in anyway.
People don't usually make the oils at home. You need some kind of distiller, and even if you can rig one up, you need copious amounts of fresh herbs to make a small amount of essential oil. It's more cost effective to buy them.How do you make essential oil ?
The method you explain is called enfleurage en chaud - which is then used as is, or distilled to separate the fat from the plant essence.
There are many methods of making essential oils from plant materials.
