Some oils are best used in massage and diffused. Take care with internal use of essential oils. In the beginning use the oils topically and through the olfactory (diffusing). It takes experience to know how to use oils internally.

Essential oils can always be used singularly. However, most therapists find that combining oils creates a "synergy" that enhances the benefits. It is easy to combine essential oils. You can use fixed oils to dilute the essential oils which will allow them to go further and create safety from burning oils. Or you can mix essential oils with water and alcohol to make misters. Drops are based on a dog's size: 1 drop of essential oil per 25 pounds of weight, or 7 drops of essential oil(s) per one (1) ounce of carrier oil or water.
