Some base notes do not have much aroma, but they can still play an important role in helping to sustain top note oils longer. Others are very tenacious and potent, requiring only one drop for scent and fixative purposes.

Next, move on to adding middle note oils. I would suggest two to four drops of a single oil or combination.

Of the three major types, which do you use, as your recipes only call for eucalyptus, not specific as to globulus, radiata, or citriodora. Thanks Liz. My husband is experiencing chest congestion, friend said to try a diffuser, got one, what oils would be best to use?

I am sorry if this is offending, but why does DoTerra price their oils so high? I will never buy from them because I have used them and they are the same quality as all the other brands not greedy for money.

That is 53x the price of the same quality oil I get. So is DoTerra really 53x better that what I get? When it comes to essential oils, you get what you pay for.

doTERRA sources their oils from all over the world and is committed to paying growers and farmers fair wages. In other instances with other companies, oils are often purchased in bulk from middlemen, and they farmers are not paid fairly for their work.

Reasonably priced and very quick at getting their orders out. You also get points to put towards your purchases, for liking them on FB, for your b-day and other ways to earn.

I trust this company as well. That is NOT a put down to DoTerra! How is that being true to your readers? This creates a very one-sided view or argument and does not allow free opinion or speech.

I posted a reply comment regarding the price of essential oils stating that in most cases you do get what you pay for but some companies are overpriced.

This was obviously a comment that you did not want read and felt threatened by the content. Obviously your philosophy is based financially and not in the best interest of what is good for the consumer. Shame on you! As someone who is deeply involved with doTERRA, knows what goes into doTERRA oils, has been to the fields where the plants are grown and met the farmers, and also compared doTERRA oils to a number of other brands, I wholeheartedly disagree with your comment.

I believe doTERRA oils are an amazing value. You are absolutely allowed to have your opinion, but I have little interest in starting a debate on essential oil pricing here on my blog, as it accomplishes nothing. Therefore, I deleted the comment from my blog.

I have a question so does it matter what oils I buy as far as price wise. Are these drops meant for 70 ml diffuser? My diffuser is ml and I want it to run all night so I will have to fill it to the maximum level.

Should I add more drops? Jill, thank you for your blog post. I have never used essential oils. Thanks for the information on the different oils and the combinations. I have heard of essential oils, just was never sure which oils go together. I want to try them. I have 10 med size plastic containers full of candles of every shape and color for each season and plus some.

In the closet and under the bed. They just sit in the plastic boxes taking up space. Any advice for smaller amounts? FYI: under the blend for deodorizing animal accident odours, you have listed lemon , tea tree among other citrus oils known to be VERY toxic.

Limonene and other components are TOXIC in these oils for cats, they simply cannot metabolize them with their liver. I cringe when I see people gleefully telling how tea tree oil has prevented fleas in their cats..

Do your research please! Aromatherapy is great but certain oils, tea-tree, clove, citrus oils for example are downright dangerous and can cause toxic overload or death. Regardless of brand used. But I was wondering if wild orange is closer to sweet orange, blood orange or just orange?

I am new to essential oils and I have written down a few of your recipes. I notice when I go online everyone sells essential oils — are they all legit or are some of the oils fake.

There are absolutely fake oils out there— I would recommend exercising caution when ordering. You recommend doTerra because you are a doTerra consultant, correct?

There are other companies who sell pure oils online. Can you name other companies, because not everyone can afford doTerra? Thanks for these great recipes, Tabitha! I am looking forward to trying them!

I have a question for you…Do you have any specific suggestions for keeping the diffuser clean when using citrus? I love your Clean Air blend! I read it an looked thru my stash of essential oils to see what I had on hand. I substituted Coriander for the Cilantro and Orange for the Lemon.

And it smells sooooo good!! Thank You! I am very glad to visit here because everyone should have an essential oil diffuser included me.

Lately my favorite oil to diffuse has been Jasmine. Keep blogging. I am very interested in essential oils but I lost my sense of smell about 5 yrs ago Will the oils still work.

I was introduced to dottera oils 4 years ago. I have also used other oils for diffusing. There is a huge difference between oils in my opinion. Many oils have carrier oils added to them so although they claim to be pure they are not. Also dottera oils are therapeutic grade and many can be ingested safely.

As a nurse I know this is important. Just my opinion. I have done extensive research on essential oils. NO oil should ever be injested. There are only a few food grade oils that can be injested. There is no such thing a therapeutic grade oil.

Do more research. If you want the real thing you must only buy USDA ORGANIC. The process is guaranteed minimal. No machinery so you not getting metals in your oil which is harmful to us.

I must say article fundamentally sharing a genuine guide. Black cumin seed oil is the best health supplement product. Thanks for these awesome recipes. Diffusers that requires water destroys the therapeutic health properties of the oils.

The only type of diffuser you should use is a wood or ceramic and glass nebulizer diffuser. doTERRA are OK oils but they are, just like Young Living, way over priced and have both been found to adulterate some of their oils when the plant material runs low, real expensive or rare.

Well think about it, the lab tests are run by the company itself. So people just tend to believe whatever the company tell them. Once I became disable with life threatening illnesses, Cancer,ect. Hi, yeah this piece of writing is truly good and I have learned lot of things from it concerning blogging.

Hi — My family and I have been using essential oils for 10 years. I turned essential oils into a business about 4 years ago, due to my first hand knowledge of their amazing properties.

To address some of the diffuser comments and questions above, you do not need a nebulizing diffuser to enjoy the benefits of oils. Ultrasonic diffusers that use water do an excellent job of transporting oils in the air.
