WAYS TO USE ESSENTIAL OILS SAFELY AT HOME

what is in it!
MASSAGE OIL - See “Which oil should I
choose?” for the properties of a selection of vegetable

Always purchase organic, cold pressed oil from a reputable supplier
or a good Healthfood store like Fresh & Wild. Choose your
essential oil/s according to your skin type or specific problem.
Mix as per instructions below for a 1% or 2% blend.
CREAMS AND LOTIONS
Purchase an UNFRAGRANCED cream or lotion (baby products are
a good alternative as long as they are unfrangranced). Choose
your essential oil/s according to your skin type or specific
problem. Mix as per instructions below for a 1% or 2% blend.

For a 1% blend = 1 drop of essential oil per 5ml/gm of cream,
lotion or oil.

5ml/gm of cream, lotion or oil.
