Peep this y’all!
Essential oils are not gentle little fragrances.
They are concentrated plant chemistry.
One drop = pounds of plant material.
That’s why dilution isn’t optional. It’s protective.
General adult topical guideline:
• 1% dilution = 1 drop EO per 1 tsp carrier oil (daily use)
• 2% dilution = 2 drops per tsp (short-term support)
Undiluted oils can cause:
– skin sensitization
– burning
– long-term reactivity
And once sensitized, your body may reject that oil forever. ( You don’t want that!)
Dilution isn’t weakness.
It’s wisdom.
Your nervous system responds to scent just fine without flooding the skin.
