How to Apply Essential Oils

Babies:

Only the very mildest oils should be used.

Up to 6 months: Use only Lavender or Chamomile Roman. 1-2 s in 10 ml (2 tsp) of carrier oil.

6-12 months: Chamomile Roman, Rose or Lavender, 1-2 s in 10 ml (2 tsp) of carrier oil.

Children

Use the oils that are safe for babies and these additional oils:

1-6 years: Use Neroli, Orange, Tea Tree, 2-3 s of oil to 10 ml (2 tsp) of carrier oil.

7-12 years: Same choice of oils as for an adult, but use 4 s to a tablespoon of oil.

Adults

As a general rule, essential oils should be used in a 2% dilution. That means about 40 to 80 s to a 4-oz. bottle of carrier oil, or about 10 s to a tablespoon of oil.
