Choose 100 percent pure essential oils because only these offer healthful benefits. The label will state "100 percent pure." You can find them at health food stores and on-line. Don't use synthetic oils because they do not provide the same benefits.

Tips & Warnings
If you want to make a larger batch of oil, simply increase the proportions, such as doubling or tripling the amounts. The massage oil will keep.
Store all oils in a cool dry place. Keep the lids firmly closed to prevent evaporation, and keep away from sunlight.
For anyone with sensitive skin, dilute the essential oils even more.
For added shine and a hint of fragrance, smear ¼ teaspoon of the oil blend you’ve made on the palms of your hands and then brush your hands through your hair in the morning.
Do not use essential oils if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant without getting professional advice.
If any skin irritation occurs, stop using immediately.
