How to Dilute Essential Oil

Essential oils are used extensively in aromatherapy. As taking a comfortable bath, many of us would love to add five or six drops of essential oil in the water in order to achieve maximum soothing effect. To dissolve the essential oil in the water, you must follow a few simple rules that will ensure you a pleasant feeling from the bath.

1. Fill the tub with lukewarm water completely with the aromatherapy shower head, and then drip five to six drops of essential oil and stir well. Make sure that the oil is completely dissolved in the lukewarm water. And do not add oil until the tub is completely filled - in this case, all the oil might evaporate with steam from the warm water.

2. If essential oil could not be mixed well in water, you can drip the required amount of oil in a teaspoon of neutral vegetable oil that is also good for your body at first before you add the oil into the water. As the choice of neutral oil, you could use sweet almond oil, avocado, or jojoba seed oil also. Thereafter, the mixture should be carefully poured into the bath and mixed thoroughly.

3. Most preferred is to use a neutral oil bath without unnecessary impurities and odor. If you have sensitive skin, or added essential oils are very strong, use fewer essential oils, for example, one or two drops instead of six drops. It will be better to choose the one with aroma you love. As far as I am concerned, the aromatherapy lavender essential oils are really wonderful for the bath.

4. If you dilute the oil for external use only dilute one or two drops of essential oil. If you use the solution of the essential oil rinse, don't swallow and or melt the oil in a large amount of water.
