How to Use Pure Essential Oils Safely: Dosage, Dilution, and More

Delune's pure essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that have been cherished for centuries for their therapeutic properties. These oils can have a significant impact on both physical and emotional well-being. In this article, we will focus on Delune's pure essential oils and provide essential information on how to use them safely, including dosage, dilution, and other important considerations.

Quality Matters: Choose Delune Pure Essential Oils

The first step in using essential oils safely is to choose high-quality, pure oils like those offered by Delune. Delune's essential oils are 100% pure, organic, and obtained through steam distillation or cold pressing. By selecting Delune, you can trust that you are using essential oils free of synthetic additives, adulterants, or contaminants, as we provide clear information on the source, extraction method, and testing of our products.

Dosage: Start Small and Follow Recommendations

As Delune's essential oils are highly concentrated, it is crucial to follow the recommended dosage guidelines. For most applications, a few drops will suffice. When using Delune's essential oils for the first time, start with a lower dosage and gradually increase it as needed, always observing your body's response.

When in doubt, consult an aromatherapist or another qualified professional to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific needs and concerns.

Dilution: Essential for Safe Application

Most essential oils, including Delune's, need to be diluted before applying them to the skin. This reduces the risk of irritation and sensitization. Carrier oils such as jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut oil are commonly used for dilution purposes. The general guideline for dilution is to mix 1-2 drops of Delune's essential oil per teaspoon (5 mL) of carrier oil for adults. For children, pregnant women, and individuals with sensitive skin, the dilution should be even lower.

Here are some common dilution ratios:

• 1% dilution: 1 drop of essential oil per teaspoon (5 mL) of carrier oil
• 2% dilution: 2 drops of essential oil per teaspoon (5 mL) of carrier oil
• 3% dilution: 3 drops of essential oil per teaspoon (5 mL) of carrier oil

Remember that certain essential oils, like cinnamon or clove, may require a lower dilution due to their potency and potential for skin irritation.

Patch Test: Check for Allergies and Sensitivities

Before using a new Delune essential oil, perform a patch test to ensure you do not have an adverse reaction. To do this, dilute the essential oil according to the guidelines above and apply a small amount to the inside of your forearm or another sensitive area. Wait 24 hours to observe if any redness, itching, or irritation occurs. If you experience any adverse reaction, discontinue use and consult a professional.

Safe Inhalation: Use a Diffuser or Steam Inhalation

Inhalation is one of the safest ways to enjoy the benefits of Delune's essential oils. You can use a diffuser or a steam inhalation method to disperse the oils in the air. When using a diffuser, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended amount of Delune's essential oil and water. For steam inhalation, add 3-5 drops of Delune's essential oil to a bowl of hot water, cover your head with a towel, and breathe in the steam for a few minutes.

Internal Use: Proceed with Caution and Expert Guidance
