And, as our disclaimer says, it’s a good idea to chat with your healthcare provider about using essential oils if you haven’t before. A naturopath (ND), certified aromatherapist, or certified clinical herbalist can also be of great help on your essential oil journey. One of the best ways to suss out which essential oils are authentic and of high quality is to really strengthen your sense of smell (seriously). Massage is one of the most effective ways of using essential oils, as the power of touch actually enhances the healing potential of the oils. The essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil prior to application. Other popular uses include: baths or showers, vaporisation (in a candle burner or aromatherapy diffuser), inhalations, or in creams, lotions and gels to improve the condition of the skin.

Essential oils can be used in myriad ways. Add a few drops to diffusers, dabble in DIY laundry detergents and home cleansers, or massage it onto your skin. Essential oils do need to be diluted to prevent possible adverse skin reactions and toxicity. Shutes recommends diluting them with a carrier oil, unscented cream or lotion, or aloe vera gel. “For adults, a 2.5 percent dilution is good. This means adding a total of 15 to 20 drops of essential oil into one fluid ounce of carrier liquid or cream. For children under the age of 5 and over the age of 3, use a 0.5 to 1 percent dilution.”

You can also add a drop of essential oil to water. “If the water becomes discolored or turns milky, then it has been diluted with water and an emulsifier has been used to keep the essential oil and water together,” she says. Finally, Shutes recommends using your sense of smell. “Our sense of smell is often underrated as a tool in determining the quality of an essential oil, but it is perhaps the most powerful tool we have.” With practice, you can strengthen it. “For instance, first smell an excellent-quality essential oil, then immediately smell a questionable or low-quality essential oil. There should be a distinct difference in the quality and effect of the aroma,” she explains. A quality supplier will sell their essential oils in a tightly sealed dark (usually amber) glass bottle. These are typically less than 4 ounces, though the most common size is a half ounce (15 milliliters).

Processing. How clean the equipment was kept during the distillation process matters. Some EOs may also be intentionally diluted during processing, and it can be really hard to tell… even if you’ve been working with EOs for years.
