Diffusing of essential oils: Always add a few drops of pure essential oil in the water in your diffuser (no diluting with a carrier oil here). It is not only to save your diffuser from clocking, but also for better aromatherapy results.

 Carrier oils:

Always make sure that you use a high quality (cold pressed or organic) carrier oil when diluting your essential oil.  (Never dilute your EO in water – it will not dilute!) 

Recommended carrier oils:  Cold pressed extra virgin Olive oil, Cold pressed Grape seed oil, Cold pressed Pomegranate seed oil,  Cold pressed Jojoba oil, Cold pressed Sweet almond oil, Cold pressed Castor oil, Coconut oil.
