Depending on the specific essential oil and the situation, a total of
5-18 drops of essential oil can be added into 1 oz (30 ml) of carrier
oil. These amounts vary based on the person for whom you are making the
blend (see dilution percentages below) and on the strength of the
specific essential oil you are using.
- 1% dilution = 5-6 drops of essential oil to each ounce of carrier oil or cream. This dilution is used for children, elders, chronically ill persons, and pregnant women.
- 2% dilution = 10-12 drops of essential oils to each ounce of carrier oil or cream. This dilution is used for massage oils for the average adult.
- 3% dilution= 15-18 drops of essential oil to each ounce of carrier oil or cream. This dilution is used for specific illnesses or for acute injury.
