  • Some of these seem like they use a lot of oils. Are these recipes meant to be pre-blended, then put into the diffuser with just a few drops of the blend? Does that make sense?

    • Hi Cathy! You could use these four blend recipes a couple of ways, since different diffusers call for varying amounts of oil drops. Pre-blending them then adding the appropriate amount into your diffuser is a great idea! Otherwise, you can use these blends as a general guide for oil ratios for your particular diffuser. Hope this is helpful!

    • Thanks for your question, Autumn. The blends listed are suggested for use in a diffuser. However, you may choose to mix them for topical use if you would like. Please refer to the usage directions on each individual product label for topical use instructions.
