How to mix carrier oil with essential oils

Whenever possible, purchase organic, cold-pressed carrier oils from a manufacturer you trust. Although most carrier oils don’t cause an allergic reaction, you should always do a patch test prior to using.

To perform a patch test:

1. Add a small amount of carrier oil to the inside of your wrist or just below your ear.

2. Cover the oil with a bandage.

3. Check back on the area after 24 hours.

4. If irritation occurs, rinse thoroughly, and avoid future use.

When diluting essential oils with a carrier oil, it’s important to follow these guidelines.

For adults:

• 2.5 percent dilution: 15 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil

• 3 percent dilution: 20 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil

• 5 percent dilution: 30 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil

• 10 percent dilution: 60 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil

For children:

• 0.5 to 1 percent dilution: 3 to 6 drops essential oil per 6 teaspoons carrier oil

Always store carrier oils in a cool, dark place, preferably in the refrigerator. You should also keep them in a dark glass bottle.
