Best advice is to use essential oils diluted in a massage oil carrier such as almond, apricot kernal, grapeseed, jojoba, or olive oil. Cold pressed oils are best. Or use oils diluted 6-10 drops of a single oil or blend of oils to a full tub of water. Foot baths work with about 5 drops of oil or less. The only oils ever suggested for use neat on the skin are Lavender and Tea Tree, sometimes Helichrysum.
Some essential oils can cause skin sensitization.
Patch testing oils is recommended. When using essential oils be sure you have read up on them, there are some excellent reference works out there available to you.
