![]() There is a bit of controversy in the essential oil world about diluting oils when applying them to your skin. Much is misunderstood about this basic use of essential oils! The picture, above, does a great job of underlining the importance of dilution -- by diluting with FCO (Fractionated Coconut Oil) MORE of the chemical constituents of the essential oil penetrate the skin layers. It's a shift in thinking -- it's not a dilution of potency the way we usually understand the word, but proper dilution actually increases both safety by reducing the possibility of skin sensitivity ... AND increases potency. Win-win! Always dilute. ![]() The proper carrier oil matters, too. I usually use FCO. ![]() Essential oils are lipid-soluble, biologically active, active at the surface of cells and are selective. They have a small molecular size and weight. And they provide cell signaling. These characteristics allow essential oils to be easily absorbed into the skin and to be very beneficial to our bodies.... because, bottom-line, all cells are directed through chemistry. The chemical make-up of essential oils determine their therapeutic benefits, all of which can be enhanced by dilution and ... .... massage! Rub those oils in! ***

![]() Copaiba is causing quite a stir as a newly introduced oil to doTERRA. Testimonials are already rolling in from those who have already bought this oil. ![]() Copaiba is rich in Caryophyllene (50% - 60%!), a sesquiterpene that is a constituent of many essential oils, notably in melissa, black pepper, ylang ylang, clove oil, and many others including the essential oil of Cannabis sativa. However, Copaiba has 2 - 8 *times* as much of this powerful antioxidant as other oils. Wow. There is much I cannot say due to FDA regulations, but simply knowing that this is a powerful antioxidant and interacts with our bodies' cells to produce many good effects makes this a daily use oil -- right up there with Frankincense. ![]() MORE TOPICAL USES NEURO-SUPPORT ROLLERBALL: Combine Copaiba, Melissa, Ylang Ylang and Black Pepper in a rollerball bottle with coconut oil to a 1:3 dilution. I use mostly Copaiba. Roll up the neck/spine to the base of the skull (up into the hairline). RELIEF MUSCLE BATH SALTS: Combine: 3 drops of Copaiba, 3 drops of Wintergreen and 3 drops of Frankincense with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 - 2 cups of Epsom salts. Stir together and add to running bath water for a relaxing soak. LINIMENT: Blend the following oils to a 1:3 to 1:10 dilution (1:3 would equate to 1 drop of EO oil to 3 drops of coconut oil): Copaiba, Wintergreen, Marjoram and Frankincense. FIRST AID: Blend these oils to a 1:3 to 1:10 dilution in Aloe Vera Gel -- Copaiba, Lavender, Melaleuca and Helichrysum (this is an expensive oil -- use 1 - 4 drops!). Store in refrigerator. For a product with a longer shelf-life, use FCO instead of aloe. Use as needed. ***
