* Aromatherapy: For inhalation, a few drops of essential oil can be added to a diffuser or vaporizer. The oil can also be inhaled directly from the bottle or by adding a few drops to a bowl of hot water.
* Topical application: For topical application, essential oils can be diluted with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil or jojoba oil. The dilution ratio typically ranges from 1-5% for adults and 0.5-2% for children.
* Internal use: Some essential oils can be taken internally, but this should be done with extreme caution and only under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner. The typical dosage for internal use is 1-2 drops of oil in a glass of water or in a capsule.
It's important to remember that essential oils are concentrated plant extracts and should be used with care. Always follow the recommended dosage and precautions on the essential oil label. If you have any questions about the appropriate dose of an essential oil, it's best to consult with a qualified healthcare professional.
