Can I heat this oil with a tealight, and if so, should I add water?

Most definitely! Add more water for a more subtle home fragrance, or less water to make it stronger! A little oil goes a long way! Make sure your oil lamp/heater/diffuser has enough water in it so it doesn't dry out.

Patricia: Did you try using this oil on rain lamp? I have the same kind of lamp and would like to buy the oil for it.

I used a mild soap and water solution followed by a light coat of teak oil. You could also use a good quality furniture oil. I happen to have a boat and so have teak oil at hand.

You should only use water. I was tempted to use a few drops of tea tree oil but trust me water works on it's own. This is the best investment I've made. You will love it!

Yes. I use the oil at night before bed. Try to use something with Tea Tree in it. That seems to work for me.

I'm assuming you mean "heat up water using my dutch iron teapot," and the answer is no. The teapot is meant to have water heated up separately and then poured into the pot. If you heat up the pot directly it wil likely cause irreperable damage.

Just add the oil in the water first, don't bother with the slit. It works fine that way.

I wouldn't. I've noticed that the bottom seems to leave a black dinghy color on my countertop, so I doubt it would do well with heat. Plus, the little tag on the teapot said that it can never be placed on a heated surface. You must use an alternate teapot to heat water before pouring it into this one...which makes this teapot basically useless if you are not using it for tea ceremony or something similar.

yes, sparingly at first, work your way up to the desired effect. traditionally essential oils shouldnt be heated from their essence. hence using a diffuser

Good question....i ended up solely putting the oil directly into the water...the aroma is stronger that way

You just add it to the water. I usually do 5 to 10 drops. If the oil you're using is particularly strong you might want to be conservative with it.

Yes with water. I fill water level, then drop essential oil in and turn on. It infuses and disperses in a vapor form. I have used a variety of essential oils with no problem.

Yes I just oiled it and heat it on high for at least 5 minutes before putting it to the temp I want. Parts of it seem to cook differently sometimes though. I believe a booklet with instructions came with. It is helpful.

I strongly suggest that you DO NOT use less than the maximum amount of oil. With the bottom heating elements you need a fair amount of oil over them.

Absolutely. When it is moldably warm it's clear, then gets milky. Though I would suggest LED and not a tea light, a nearby flame would melt it.

I wouldn't even consider it! Would get too hot to handle. Also, what would one do with leftover heated oil?Flavor change for sure. Too attractive to take a chance on damaging the appearance by exposing it to excessive heat.mmm

Nope, this oil is almost completely melted at room temp and if it isn't the touch of your hands will melt it perfectly fine. It has a very low melting point, you can slather it on right out of the jar.
