I notice that in some aromatherapy receips, it is indicated to use 1% or 2% or 3% of essential oil. Is there a formula to calculate, say if I have only 25ml of carrier oil, how many drops or ml of essential oil can I drop in to conform to safety standard. Josephine Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 9:15 AM   Hi Josephine, This is a guideline and not a safety standard. The essential oils you choose play a part as does the treatment and area of the body you are creating a blend for. Then there is a persons health and you need to take into account, any medication they are taking and a variety of other factors. It is better to stick to a recipe, than create you own, as an understanding of essential oils and their properties is important before creating products for safe use. I hope this information is useful. Nadine Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 6:36 PM   Thanks Nadine for your reply. I understand your point but I am hoping that you have a formula to calculate.
