How can I make essential oils with this kit? And what would I need to purchase and where to complete the kit?

There are lots of sources all over the internet for how to distill essential oils. Using this kit the only thing you will need to purchase is a small aquarium pump, a bucket and some plastic tubing. Amazon has them all, as does your local hardware store.

It all depends on the oils you get, some oils require that you mix with water and there are also other oils that don't require that you mix with water.

I don'treally know as I haven't made candles. The things I have read though kind of discourage essential oil for candles.

I have read that any basic oil would work but the fragrance additives etc. I would be more trusting of using mineral oil. I have used olive oil in the past as well but more expensive than mineral oil.

Always buy undiluted. You can dilute with a carrier oil of your choice Plus you always want to buy the purest oils possible

My friend who found this kit for me said it was everything I needed to get started at a wonderful price. The only thing I need to buy is the jars and lids and of course the food to can. So according to my friend yes, buy this kit and like myself, let's learn how to do this, I can't wait! Thanks, Cindy

Essential should not be diluted with anything unless you do not care for the quality and healing properties of oils you use. You can purchase cheaper oils that used mostly for aromas only, so you can save money that way. The good quality oils that are made for external and internal use are purer therefore more expensive. The noise on this diffuser is pretty loud when it diffuses, otherwise it is soundless.

There are step by step instructions. The oils are: balance, lavender, on guard, melaleuca, aromatouch, deep blue, wild orange and peppermint. They are all 5 ml bottles.

I have an essential oil diffuser (a nebulizing diffuser) I use. I don't know if you are referring to reed diffusers though, or electric diffusers. I know you can make a mixture with essential oils that you can use with reed diffusers, I am just not sure of the recipe. It would be easy to google. Normally reed diffusers are used with the cheaper, dilluted, scented oils. You can also add a little water to a few drops of oil, put it into a tealight candle oil warmer and warm/diffuse the oils that way. The plant therapy site has a wonderful blog that can give you all sorts of tips on how to use their oils. I have an essential oil diffuser (a nebulizing diffuser) I use.

I have no idea. You might contact the seller, but I don't really trust them to know. They weren't very helpful when I complained that this "essential oil" wouldn't mix with other oils.

Don, there Juice in the kit, along with all the other ingredients you need, such as yeast, finings, sorbate, etc. what you need is a plastic fermenting pail, a glass or Plastic approved 6 gal carboy, and some other misc stuff. I would recommend getting a starter kit that comes with all that like the one here: http://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Wine-Making-Quality-Durable/dp/B000FBOWQW it's about $100 at Amazon.

You can do a bunch of the experiments with what is available in the kit. There are some experiments that might need things you generally find at home. There are indeed a few that I believe need some additional things.

I mix a little of the Lavendar Essential Oil with Almond Oil (use whatever oil you usually use). You could use just the lavender, but I think it would be used up very quickly and it's expensive. Experiment with small amounts and see what you like best.

Don't know what you have, Nicole. Assuming you are starting from scratch you will need the "wine making hardware" which can be purchased from Amazon or at your local Wine/Beer making hobby shop. That includes 1 six gallon carboy (really need two), a hydrometer, floating thermometer, stirring paddle, six gallon fermenting bucket, corking tool, wine "trap" to perform hydrometer readings, air lock (preferably 2), 6' of clear tubing. In addition to these basics I'd recommend an auto syphon. Once completed you will need bottles which can be purchased or have someone you know at a pub to save their wine bottles for you....remove labels (recommend removing with hot water, then run cold water over the glued area and remove hardened glue with a single edge razor blade. Rinse in super hot water then sanitize before filling. This kit will make 30 bottles (750ml) or 15 of the 1.5 liter. I like to fill some of both.

Hi Jennifer I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use the essential oil. You just have to use it sparingly.
