12. FUNDAMENTAL RULES FOR THE USE OF ESSENTIAL OILS.
RULE #1:
DIVIDING ESSENCES
Essential oils must be diluted since they are highly concentrated.
The proper quantities to dilute essential oils will depend on the use we wish to give them.
RULE # 2:
MIXING ESSENCES
Mixing essences is not mandatory, but rather useful. The effect we obtain when mixing essential oils will vary.
When mixing essential oils, you must take into consideration:
- Mix a maximum of 3 essences.
- Keep (store) essential oils in dark tinted glass bottles. These should be closed tightly.
- Label your bottles writing down the date you prepared them.
