Oh my God what a waste of time. We're here to learn about the oil, not to see your funny faces for God Sake. Can't even pronounce it? What's going on Plant Therapy? I thought you were a serious company in every sense of the word.
That is a wonderful question! Here are our recommendations. Steam Inhalation: This is a great way to soothe your throat and support your voice. You can read more about steam inhalation in our blog post-here: www.planttherapy.com/blogs/blog/the-art-of-a-steam-part-1 ♨ Topical Application: Dilute the Ginger Essential Oil to 1%, which would be 9 drops of essential oil in 1 ounce of carrier oil. Apply this mixture to the outside of your throat. This can help soothe and support your voice. ☺ Diffusing: Diffusing the oil in your space can help create a soothing environment that may benefit your voice.☺ Gargling: Dilute the essential oil to 1% in a carrier oil like Fractionated Coconut Oil, 9 drops of essential oil in 1 ounce of carrier oil. Gargle with this mixture for about 30 seconds and then spit it out (in the trash to avoid clogging your sink drain). 💚
That is a wonderful question! No, you don't need to apply a flame to release the fragrance. Most essential oils and fragrance oils release their scent naturally at room temperature. You can use methods such as diffusing, applying topically, or by creating your spray. Here are a few wonderful resources that go more in depth into essential oils and their uses: www.planttherapy.com/pages/essential-oils-101 www.planttherapy.com/pages/help-center?hcUrl=%2Fen-US 💚💚😁😁🌱🌱
Hello David! That is a wonderful question! We generally recommend using a carrier oil to help extend the scent life of your reed diffusers such as coconut oil. However, Glycerin is often used to help slow down the evaporation of fragrances in diys and can help it last longer. 😊😊💚💚🌱🌱
Yes, we do have Patchouli essential oil! Patchouli is known for its grounding and balancing properties. It's great for promoting relaxation, and helping with skincare. It's used in both men's and women’s fragrances. You can find it here: www.planttherapy.com/products/patchouli-essential-oil. Enjoy!💚🤗🌱🤩
A drop or two turns into 20 drops so fast. I think I’m gonna remove the useless lids with gloves and use my pipette to dip in and get the exact number of drops. Essential oils are no joke.
Some people definitely find it easier to control drops with a pipette. We have a wonderful Leaf Tool designed to help remove the orifice reducer (the plastic part), but a spoon can work as well. Just be careful as you wiggle the orifice reducer free. 😊 However, exposure to air can cause oils to oxidize faster, so keep an eye on the oils for changes in scent or color. Here is a wonderful blog that goes more in-depth into essential oils expiring: www.planttherapy.com/blogs/blog/do-essential-oils-really-expire?_pos=1&_sid=cc4b6e655&_ss=r 🤗🤗🌱🌱💚💚
Which oil are you looking to use, and what is your intended purpose? To clean the air, you can add some lemon, tea tree, or lavender essential oil to a diffuser. 😌However, if you are a little sore after a workout, you would dilute some black pepper or frankincense in a carrier oil and apply it topically. 💪We have quite a few wonderful blogs on our website for beginners that you might find helpful: www.planttherapy.com/pages/essential-oils-101 💚💚🌱🌱
Hi . I’m new to this channel . I would like to use Lemon and Lavender oils , et al as an insect repellant . How do I go about this using a spray bottle ?
That is a wonderful question! Here is our amazing DIY pest spray you can follow: www.planttherapy.com/blogs/blog/non-toxic-natural-pest-spray-diy?_pos=13&_sid=c8bed1543&_ss=r 💚💚🤗🤗🌱🌱
Eucalyptus and Frankincense are wonderful for pain. Almond oil would be a wonderful carrier oil so you can apply these oils topically. Here is a DIY to get you started: DIY Pain Rub Ingredients: 10 drops Eucalyptus Globus essential oil (or any Eucalyptus you have) 10 drops Frankincense Carterii essential oil (or any Frankincense you have) 2 tablespoons almond oil (Or your favorite carrier oil unscented lotion works wonderfully as well) Instructions: In a small glass bottle or jar, combine the eucalyptus and frankincense essential oils. Add the almond oil to the essential oils. Mix well by gently shaking the bottle or stirring with a clean spoon. To use, apply a small amount of the mixture to the affected area and massage gently. Store in a cool dark place when not in use. 🤗😀🙌💚
Those are wonderful questions! Essential oils, like Frankincense, are volatile liquids that while they can't be applied directly to the skin without dilution are full of wonderful benefits. This is where carrier oils come in. Carrier oils, such as coconut or jojoba oil, are used to safely dilute essential oils for topical use. Fractionated coconut oil is a type of carrier oil that has been processed to remove long-chain fatty acids, so it stays liquid at room temperature and is great for mixing with essential oils. 🌱💚😁😊
That is a wonderful question! Here is our wonderful blog that goes into the different types of Polysorbate and when to use them: www.planttherapy.com/blogs/blog/whats-the-deal-with-polysorbate?_pos=2&_sid=ba7818197&_ss=r Witch hazel is generally not enough to act as an emulsifier. Very high-proof alcohol can work however it is not an exact substitute and it would not be very nice if applied to the skin as alcohol is very drying. Here is our wonderful blog about Emulsifiers: www.planttherapy.com/blogs/blog/what-is-an-emulsifer-and-why-do-i-need-it?_pos=1&_sid=ba7818197&_ss=r 💚💚🌱🌱🤩🤩
Hey if i forgot to seal the lid on the bottle of the oil and if was left opened overnight does it have a bad effect on the oil?i have mixed lavender,rosemary,castor and coconut
That is a wonderful question! Essential oils don't expire in the same way food does. Exposure to heat light and oxygen causes oils to lose their therapeutic values and scent quicker. This mixture should be fine however the scent may be a little less intense. 💚💚😊😊💜💜
Please email us at cs@planttherapy.com. We can tell you the oils that are GRAS (generally recognized as safe) for cooking. As far as cooking with them safely you would want to talk to a certified aromatherapist. You can find them near you by searching at www.naha.org. We hope this helps!
It depends on which oil you are using and if it is a child or adult. If you have questions about a specific oil please feel to email us at cs@planttherapy.com and we would be happy to help you with dilutions! Have a great day!
You would want to make sure it is a KidSafe Eucalyptus oil, If it is not it could be to strong and end up burning the child. We recommend a 1.5% dilution all the way up to a 3% maximum dilution for 6 year old's. For the 1.5% it is 4 drops of essential oil in 10 ML bottle and the rest carrier oil. For the 3% dilution it would be 9 drops of essential oil and the rest would be carrier oil. We hope this helps!
You can use any essential oils in Tallow, now with that being said you would want to steer clear of hot oils, IE Cinnamon, Peppermint, Ginger, Oregano. Oils that will be uncomfortable if you applied to your face or body. You will also want to do a 1% dilution which is 9 drops of your essential oil to 2 TBSPs of your base. We hope this helps!
That is a wonderful question! Tallow is a wonderful carrier oil that can handle most if not all oils. For the face and body, we recommend oils like Frankincense Carteri, Lavender, Helichrysum, or Rosemary. We also have a few wonderful skin blends available. However, keep in mind that we recommend not exceeding a 1% dilution for facial application and a 2% for daily body application.💚😊🤩💇♀
Oil floats on water, so how does the diffuser work around that? I imagine it sucks the water from the bottom for every mist. Does it mix the water before every mist?
We only sell ultrasonic diffusers, the diffuser dispenses essential oils into the air through vibrations of a plate which causes ultrasonic waves, creating microscopic particles of oils which disperse into the air. We hope this helps!
hello! i'm seeing this stream now in 2024 and i hear at the time of this live stream he was working on a new book. I'm unable to find where or what the name of his new revised book is. i'm wondering if he's talking about the Essential Oil Safety: A Guide for Health Care Professionals 2nd Edition? if not, i would greatly appreciate information on the book he mentioned here. :) thank you
Thank you for this educative video about how to dilute essential oils, and how to apply them. I enjoyed watching Explore your Dream Life channel recommended to me by RU-vid .I have liked and subscribed to the channel.
I'm new to the essential oil industry, with all the different manufactures of these oils each manufacture will have their own recipe shall I say. It's really frustrating trying to find a good oil to buy with the limited information some manufacturers provide on their oils. Some manufactures don't list any ingredients what so ever. Some do but you have to be a member to access that information and some of that information is useless if you're wondering what's in the oil. What I'm saying is that if a manufacture is going to produce essential oils, they should be required to furnish a GCMS report or alike for the oils they produce. Plant Therapy is the first manufacturer that I have found that provides all the information about their oils. Plant Therapy's reporting should be the industry's standard. You shouldn't have to be a member to access this information as you do with other companies. Not all manufactures will have the same recipe for alike oils, but having a report available on their oils should be a requirement.
@@gmcxm211 Thank you we pride ourselves on our knowledge and sharing our passion of essential oils with our customers. Please let us know if you need anything!
I have a really bad fever blister from STRESS. I've read somewhere that Tea Tree oil is good for helping these blisters. Can I use Coconut oil to dilute the Tea Tree oil? If so, how much should I use of each? Thanks in advance!
We do not recommend putting essential oils on lips as your skin is super thin so using just a small amount can burn your lips. You could find a recipe for making your own chapstick and I would recommend using Camphor and Tea Tree. A carrier oil would not be enough to break it down on such a thin layer of skin, unfortunately. We hope this helps!
I want to delete 100% cedar and use as a cover scent for hunting what's the best way to dilute it with water as a spray without adding any other scents?
So you would not want to dilute it with water as oil and water don't mix you would want to add an emulsifier before sticking it in water. Now I am not sure that it would delete the smell of the essential oil. I am not sure any mixture would erase the smell enough to not be smelled by animals. We hope this helps!
@@karalewis2908 Nothing will change the scent of Cedar. If you put it on you will smell like Cedar. You could try baking soda but I feel like that would make it scentless and wouldn't do anything.
Since thousands of years (Egypt!) the best oil will be castor oil, this by swallowing regularly 1 tablespoon (15 ml) early in the morning on an empty stomach. In this manner you will not only be able to eliminate all the waste in your intestines, but all the toxins deposed in your body (methylmercury!) via the liver too.
I use peppermint orally but you just have to know it's extremely powerful. One drop. Max. And you must use a carrier oil like coconut and ideally take it will something of substance like a smoothie. But yeah one drop a day will have miracle results. If you screw up and take too much tho....well it's ganna hurt.
