How to mix oils:
The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy recommends the following suggested mixtures/combinations:
For infants and young children
- 0.5 to 1 percent dilution = 3 to 6 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier
For adults
- 2.5 percent dilution = 15 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier
This dilution is recommended for most healthy adults during aromatherapy
- 3 percent dilution = 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier
This dilution is usually used to treat temporary health concerns, such as muscle pain or minor skin injury
- 5 percent dilution = 30 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier
- 10 percent dilution = 60 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier
These dilutions are less common. Anyone who notices any irritation or sensitivity when using these dilutions is advised to stop applying the mixture
