Hi. One if the blends above has 28 total drops of oil. How does this work with dilution or do you use without dilution?
Hi Lisa,
For topical application, please dilute the 28 drops in approx. 45-50ml carrier oil.
Regards,
Olivia
I’m new to EO so my question is on the recipes do you need to use a carrier oil if so how much
Hi Jennifer,
Yes. Please dilute 12-18 drops of essential oils in 1 ounce (30ml) of carrier oil. You can start off with 12 drops and increase progressively as required.
You can adjust the ratios of essential oils accordingly to suit the 1 ounce carrier oil.
Any other questions, please don’t hesitate.

Olivia,
Would any essential oils work to keep fleas off of my cats? We use a flea comb twice a day and still they are out of control. I don’t really want to use commercial flea treatments, which are all harmful to the cat.
Thanks for your advice.
Susan
Hi Susan,
You will need to be very careful as cats are extremely sensitive to essential oils; please also consult with your Vet prior to using essential oils on your cat.
Once confirmed, you can use a heavy dilution rate, i.e. for every 1 drop of essential oil, you need to dilute in 2-3 tbsp. of carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil, plus use only therapeutic grade essential oils only. Lavender, frankincense and geranium are generally safe to use on cats, and the paws are a great place to start off with the application of the diluted essential oil blend.

Making blends as gifts. How much carrier oil do you recommend with these blends? I don’t want to dilute the recipe but I also don’t want it to irritate my families skin.
Hi Sherry,
The dilution rate should be approx. 2%, which means every 12 drops of essential oils should be diluted in 30ml (1 fl. oz) of carrier oil. Please do a test patch prior to application on the skin.
Regards,
Olivia
On the essential oil blends recipes – do you recommend putting a carrier oil with them?
Hi Kim,
Yes, you could add a carrier oil to the various blends. As always, please do a test patch before applying it to the skin.

I workout a lot and use my gels but my PT recommended I give essential oils a go. Can I use the muscle and joint blend every day or is it too powerful?
Hi Mazina,
The muscle and joint blend oil recipe can be applied to sore muscles and joints everyday. The peppermint in this blend will relieve any pain and inflammation and cool overworked muscles due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Some people may experience a slight burning sensation, especially those with sensitive skin.
