There are several carrier oils available for use with the essential
oils. For the best results, buy
'cold pressed' carrier oils available
from specialist suppliers. You may find them in some supermarkets,
too. When
mixing essential oils with a carrier oil the ratio is half
the number of drops as there are mls of carrier oil. For example,
50
ml of carrier oil needs 25 drops of essential oil.
