You can find the Dermal Dilution by Age guide, along with all our safety charts https://www.schoolofessentria.com/eo-safety-charts
It is very important to take the age of the person using the essential oils into account.
Kids are more sensitive and need less essential oils than adults, and many times aren’t needed at all.
Carrier oils and hydrolats are great options to use without essential oils
Do NOT round up your drops. If a partial drop is recommended, round down to the last full drop. Example: 2.5 drops would mean you can put up to 2 drops.
Refer back to our safety Dilution Chart to know how many drops are needed for a certain percentage.
You do not need to smell the essential oils in your blend, they will still have therapeutic value.
Remember LESS IS MORE! Start at the lowest dilution. You can always go lower than what is stated If needed you can gradually increase the essential oils used.
Don’t forget to print off your dilution guide. You can laminate it for long term use!
Stay tuned for episode #33 where we explore how we should dilute for different situations.
