● Argan oil

● Olive oil

● Jojoba oil

● Grapeseed oil

You can also use aloe vera gel and high-quality alcohol as alternatives to a base oil.

Dilution ratio

How should the oils be diluted? The dilution percent depends on the person using the oils and the specific type that is used. A universal dilution percentage that can be used is 3%. This is equivalent to 10 drops of essential oil in 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of carrier oil.

Where to get quality essential oils

Oil quality is important for great results. Good quality essential oils can be purchased from Pure Path Essential Oils. A good brand is the doTerra brand. You can buy doTerra online and begin treatment.
