Essential Oils are the pure essence of nature - powerful, concentrated, and highly beneficial when used correctly. Because of their potency, it is important to follow safe guidelines.
Unlike dried herbs, which you might use a teaspoon in cooking, essential oils are measured in drops. Many should be diluted with a carrier oil, such as DoTERRA's Fractionated Coconut Oil, to maximize their benefits and reduce sensitivity.
When applied, essential oils enter the bloodstream, interacting with tissues and cells before being metabolized by the body. Proper dilution is necessary: adults should always dilute, and children require double the dilution. Always check the labels or references to confirm whether an oil is safe for aromatic, topical and/or internal use and test a small area of skin for sensitivity.
My 3 Golden Rules for Dilution:
The recommended ideal amounts are guidelines - adjust to your needs. If your health is comprised, use oils sparklingly. Remember, a little goes a long way. Use your oils responsibly and stay safe!
Sending you joy and abundance,
