How many drops of essential oil should be used?

I use about 10-15 drops and can run 2-3 cycles per day (this diffuser "cycles" for 20 minutes, 3 times then shuts off...so I'm talking about doing that 2-3 times) for about 4-5 days before I need to add more. I've been very happy with the amount of oil it uses when compared to the one I replaced. I also find that I get plenty of oil diffused when using it on a lower setting.

I would start with 25 drops of oil. Make sure you do not fill past the tiny glass tubes inside the diffuser bottle because the oil will get into the mechanics of the motor and cause the diffuser to malfunction.

Hi Alice, a minimum of 10 drops and maximum of about 30. It really depends on how long you want to use it and at what power level. If you run it on high power, you will need more oil for sure.

Hi Lin, I would end up using about a 1 dropper full with it sucking up about a third at a time. I used those cotton rounds/pads to rub it on my face. Hope this helps.

You can use any essential oil - I've used lemon, peppermint, thieves, purification, peace & calming, lavender, sometimes I combine a couple drops to make my own blend.

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.

I'm not sure. I've never tried to use essential oils. You might be able to put a few drops in the water, but I would check with the manufacturer first.

I use a small mister which holds a little less than 1/2 cup water with instructions to use 3-4 drops of essential oils. I don't know that there is a set ratio, but more about personal preference. The more oil, the stronger the vapor/smell, so it's a bit of testing the number of drops of oil until it's right for you.

I use only a drop or 2 with a dab of coconut oil whitch is plenty for the face and neck area. you dont need a lot. I have been trying out mixing a a drop or 2 with a drop or 2 of Apricot seed oil. Also - Just but its self! its light, not greasy and my skin feels wonderful. Its all in your preference really. But again, I have found out that a little is all you need for the face, But if you get too much then use it as a body oil. works great.

A small amount shouldn't be a problem, use a spray bottle and one to two mists should be fine

There's a tiny pull-out tray just above the bottom on the left as you face the front of the product. 5-10 drops of essential oil can be added to the rectangle area inside the tray.

In the water reservoir and as much as you need. If i'm using one oil,I usually use one or two drops. Multiple oils , I use 2 drops of each.

It depends if you like a stronger scent, in which case you would use more. I would say the average would be two to 4 squirts. Start off with two, then walk away from the area you sprayed it and see if it's strong enough for you. If not, spray one or two more times. that should do it.

It depends how many drops you add to a liquid. Recommended are 3 drops per 1 oz

We recommend using Peppermint essential oil with a carrier oil at a 3-5% dilution rate, since it is so strong and may irritate the skin if applied neat. At a 3-5% dilution rate, you can add as much of one oil as you'd like (ex. 12 drops of Peppermint and 8 drops of Rosemary per 1 ounce of carrier oil). 3% dilution = 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier5% dilution = 30 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier

If used over a large area (massage), I would use about 5%. On a small area like a joint (knee, shoulder) I have used 25% if I am in serious pain. I know some people that use a couple of drops full strength on a small specific area. If you are prone to allergies, test a little on the inside of your arm opposite your elbow. You can use several different oils to dilute, e.g. Olive, Grapeseed, Almond, Coconut, etc.Hope this helps. I know a lady who got amazing relief from arthritis from this product.Gary

I agree with Sali, a few drops should be plenty. You can always add more if needed.

I use a carrier oil... Because I think it is otherwise too strong for my personal choice.. I use coconut oil.4or 5 drops of balance to a tablespoon of carrier oil.I think it is also recommend on the website.But your personal choice as well. I love it.
