1. Get the most out of your bottles.<\/strong><\/span> Each 15 ml bottle has 250 drops of precious oil. Here are 36 ways to use essential oils<\/a>, just in case you need more ideas.<\/p>\n

2. Understand the potency of our oils.<\/strong> <\/span>It takes a lot of plant matter to distill enough oil to fill a single bottle. For example, one 5 ml bottle of Rose essential oil<\/a> requires about 22 pounds of rose petals. That\u2019s some serious petal power! We like to go back to the basics and follow the advice we give beginner essential oil users: start low and slow.<\/p>\n<\/div>

3. Multitask when you clean.<\/strong><\/span> Do you know how easy it is to make your own cleaning products<\/a>? You can create dozens of household helpers with just one bottle of Thieves\u00ae Household Cleaner<\/a> because it is so concentrated. It\u2019s the ultimate multitasker\u2014it makes your home sparkle and smell good! Take a look at the concentration ratios and cleaning ideas here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
