Carrier oils provide much needed lubrication allowing hands to move freely over the skin, helping with the absorption of essential oils into the body. Carrier oils are light, non sticky and effectively penetrate the skin. They should be 100% pure, unrefined and cold pressed.
1 drop of essential oil = 1 tsp of carrier oil for 1% dilution. 2 drops essential oil to 1 tsp of carrier oil = 2% dilution and so on.

Dear site owner, thanks a lot for sharing this kind of blog post… I found it extraordinary. All the best, !!!
I was chain smoking hand-rolled tobacco cigarettes, wallowing in the filth of them and becoming more and more depressed and ill with a feeling of hopelessness - resigned to my fate. Then I read in eBay’s UK Community about e-cigs and, completely against my nature, a voice in my head said “You can do that, try it, you’ve got nothing to lose”. I haven’t looked back but my health is taking its time to improve - I was in a very bad state and have yet to add exercise to my routine. I smoked for 50 years!
