Let us know if you have any other tips and tricks? We would love to hear from you.

There are some family members and our pets that may need oils to be more diluted. 

Babies and young children, pregnant and breast-feeding mothers, the frail and the elderly. Topical applications need to be at much lower dilutions, as low a 1% (1 drop in 10ml of carrier oil) and not all essential oils are recommended. This oil can be used safely. 

Please see our faq here and if you unsure always take advise from a clinical aromatherapist for best practise.
