Essential oils dilution table, wholesale

To easily and quickly calculate the quantities of essential oil and vegetable oil depending on the desired concentration, it is recommended to have an essential oil dilution table at hand. in this table, the most common concentrations used in aromatherapy and the quantities needed to obtain them are shown. Essential oil dilution table characteristics: - dimensions: (h) 21 cm x (l) 14 cm - material: PVC foil + magnetic foil on the bottom How to use an essential oil dilution table? The essential oil dilution table is easy to use and read. Thanks to the magnetic foil, it can be kept on the refrigerator or any metal surface. Thus, it can always be at hand, to save you the time wasted searching for information on the Internet. To read the dilution table, you must first determine the concentration you want to obtain. The concentration refers to the concentration of essential oils that will be present in the finished product, after mixing the essential oils in the carrier base (vegetable oil, cream, etc.). At the edge on the left side of the table, the concentrations from 0.5% to 5% are presented, as well as the situations in which each is recommended. The upper edge displays the number of drops of essential oil that must be used, and on the lower side of the table, several amounts of carrier base, in ml. To find out the necessary quantities of each, it is enough to follow the line of the desired concentration, until the intersection with the amount of carrier base in which you want to dilute. At the intersection point, you will find out how many drops of essential oil need to be added to the chosen amount of carrier base, to obtain the desired concentration. Example: Let's say you want to make a mixture for a 5-year-old child, in a container of 50 ml of sweet almond oil. Looking at the left side of the table, you will see that 1% is the right concentration. Follow the 1% line to the 5th black dot at the bottom of the table, where it says 50 ml. At the intersection of the 2 lines, you will find the number 15. That is, 15 drops of essential oil are needed to obtain a concentration of 1% in 50 ml of carrier base. Note: The number of drops of essential oil refers to the total number to be used. That is, in case you want to use more essential oils, their total number must be the one listed in the table (15 in the example above). in this case, it would be best to prepare the mixture in another container. Then use for dilution as many drops of the mixture as written in the table (15 in the example above). Important to remember! The values ​​in the table are approximate. The size of a drop can vary depending on several factors: the size of the flow hole, the viscosity of the oil, etc. For a precise dosage, we recommend: - to do the calculations in standard measurement units (for example ml) - to use related instruments (graduated pipettes, scales, etc.). The values ​​in the table represent the recommended concentrations for the described situations. in certain contexts, the maximum allowed concentrations may be different from those in this table. Specialists (doctors, aromatherapists, etc.) can recommend lower or higher concentrations, depending on the particular situation and context. This table is indicative. It does not assume that all concentrations are safe for all essential oils in all situations. before diluting, carefully read the safety precautions of the essential oils you want to use. Some of them have maximum thresholds allowed for application on the skin, for various reasons (phototoxicity, irritating or allergenic potential, etc.). Follow the instructions and do not exceed the maximum allowed threshold, where appropriate. For greater safety, start with small amounts, especially if you are using an essential oil or a mixture for the first time. Then increase the concentration, gradually, if necessary, without exceeding the maximum allowed concentration. For better effects, be consistent in application - once every 3, maximum 4 hours, in acute situations. For long-term application (e.g. skin care), 1-2 applications per day are sufficient. At the same time, specialists recommend alternating the essential oils used every 1-2 months. It is also recommended to take a total break (in which you do not use essential oils on the skin at all) once every few months. Concentration or dilution? In aromatherapeutic language, the term dilution is often used. This is mainly due to the English language and the Romanian translation. From a semantic point of view, the two words - concentration and dilution - have the same meaning. However, in current speech, confusions may appear.- To increase a dilution = to increase the dilution. it means to dilute better. That is, let's use more carrier base and less essential oil. Although in current speech it is used, in general, with the meaning of increasing the amount of essential oil, so exactly the opposite. - To increase a concentration = to increase the concentration. means to dilute less. In other words, let's use more essential oil and less carrier base. To avoid this confusion, we - at eArome.ro - have chosen to use the term concentration in all our materials.
