How many drops of Essential Oils should you put in your diffuser?

There are two criteria:

1🔸 the size of the room

2🔸 how big your diffuser is

The intensity is up to you
(beware of the e animals and small children!) But all in all this guide says it all and that’s what I do as well.

🔸happy diffusing🔸
Thank you

Using powerful antimicrobial EOs such as cinnamon bark, clove, oregano, thyme, etc for children is NOT recommended because of a high risk of adverse reaction, and a possibility to inhibit normal immune system development.

Instead of using potent antimicrobial EOs, especially with children, try: bergamot, palmarosa, lavender, tea tree, lemon, marjoram. 🌸

Although some essential oils may be potent antimicrobials, does the way they are currently used preserve the integrity of our children’s health?

Essential Oils for Babies and Infants 👶

📍Always dilute the essential oil before using it on your baby. One way to do this is by adding a carrier oil, especially if you intend to use the oil in massage.
📍Take note of the proper dosage when using the oil. A tiny difference in the formula you use can be hazardous to the baby's sensitive skin (check for proper dilution per the supplier).
📍Never put essential oil near the mouth, eyes, nose, or any other sensitive areas.
📍If possible, wait until the baby is at least 3 months old (or older) before you start using essential oils on them.

by Robert Tisserand Although essential oils are natural substances, “natural” and “safe” have never been synonymous. Nature is replete with poisonous plants (deadly nightshade, wolf’s bane, foxglove, su***de tree, etc.) not to mention spiders, snakes, scorpions etc. Natural bitter almond o...

Are dou adding your Essential Oils straight into bath water?
🚯then don’t, here is why

♨️EO does not dilute in water, so you end up with chunks of oil floating on a surface. They might not only cause skin irritation but also enter all the wrong places and act harmful.

How to make it better / properly?

✳️ use something to disperse the molecules of Essential Oil, your options: Bath Salt, Epsom Salt, Himalayan Salt, some people use milk too. I would rather stick to salt and its benefits.

✳️I use up to 2-4 drops for older children, up to 8 for adults.

Easy, right?
