Balancing Essential Oil
Recommended Use : Because essential oils are highly concentrated, they need to be used with care. Apply them by the drop. The general rule is to dilute them with carrier oils such as jojoba, sweet almond, or grape seed when used on the skin. Personal Care Bath: - Add no more than 8-10 drops to your bath. Use less if your skin is sensitive. Stir the water briskly to disperse evenly. Massage: - Add essential oils of your choice to carrier oils in the proportion of 10-20 drops per one ounce of carrier oil. Use the lesser amount for sensitive skin, children and the elderly. Mix well. Skin Care: - Add 10-20 drops of essential oil to one ounce of carrier oil, unscented natural lotion or cream. Dilute further for children, the elderly, or if skin is sensitive. Mix well before using. Hair Care: - Add essential oils of choice to unscented natural shampoos and conditioners. Use 10-20 drops per ounce. Mix well before using. Freshen The Home Refresh Rooms: - Essential oils make ideal room fresheners. Add 10 drops per ounce of water in spray mist bottle.

In the Bedroom: - Place a few drops on a tissue and place near your pillow at night. In the Laundry: - Try adding a few drops of your favorite scent to the final rinse.
