When it comes to essential oils, especially if you are using DoTERRA oils, you have to dilute them to be able to use them properly. You can dilute with either water or coconut oil. When you use a diffuser, by placing only 2-4 drops of the essential oil, you are going to be able to reach the right amount of dilution needed to be able to enjoy them in your home.
When you don’t dilute essential oils, you run the risk of the oils adversely affecting you and your family. There are some oils (citrus) that will burn if you get into sunlight. You will always feel the need to run out the door, but this is something that you are going to have to wait and see how your body reacts.
How Do I Dilute?
By following the chart below, you are going to be able to dilute with confidence:
| Essential Oil Blend Percentage | Essential Oil Amount | Carrier Oil Amount |
| 0.5% | 1 drop | 2 teaspoons |
| 2 drops | 1 tablespoon | |
| 10 drops | 100 ml | |
| 1% | 2 drops | 2 teaspoons |

This way you are following the proper ways of using the essential oils in your home and you are going to be able to enjoy them without the fear of the oil interacting in a negative way.
