Most blended oils and adulterated oils, unless otherwise specified on the label, are not entirely made with essential oils. Many of them have some portion that is made up of chemicals that mimic the scent of the herb (etc.) that they claim is in it.

The chemically produced scents do not have the phenols, terenes, esters, ketones, and other properties that essential oils have, rendering them ineffective for aromatherapy.

The best thing is fresh air and lots of water. People commonly forget that these two things are essential to good health. If the aromatherapy included massage, a coolish bath isn't a bad bet either.

The production and use of olive-oil-based perfumes has a long history in ancient Israel. The Bible book of Exodus contains a recipe for making the sacred perfumed oil used by the priests in their services at the temple. It is a blend of cinnamon, myrrh, and other aromatic plants. (Exodus 30:22-25) There are many Biblical references to perfumed oil, used in both sacred services and everyday life.-2 Chronicles 16:14; Luke 7:37-46; 23:56. Oil was used not only for protection of the skin in the hot dry climate but also for its cosmetic benefits. (Ruth 3:3; 2 Samuel 12:20) Aromatherapy oils continue to be used in modern times to promote relaxation and to treat a wide range of conditions. Try eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint and ylang ylang to name a few. Never apply pure essential oil directly to the skin, dilute using a little carrier oil such as olive, sweet almond or grapeseed to name a few so you do not burn or irritate the skin. Invest in a few at a time and create your own spa like wellness space at home using essential oils. Mix a few drops in water to spray in the home, to relax and sleep soundly spray lavender on your pillows at night. You will not be sorry.

It is not something that is easily made, though you don't have to use a diffuser for essential oils. You can light a candle, and when the wax on the top is liquefied, poor the essential oils into it. You may want to blow the candle out whilst you do this, as the drop are extremely flammable, and you need to avoid the flame.

Pure therapeutic essential oils should not be heated. Heat will destroy the beneficial properties. If you cannot afford a $35.00 diffuser, then simply apply the oil to a kleenex and lay out or put it inside your pillowcase. On the road, I use a napkin and three to five drops of Peppermint and stuff it into my air vent. It keeps me alert for many miles as the oil fills the cabin.

I presume you want it for fly control for farm animals? Ebay has several essential oil dealers but you don't need any fancy bottle or wrapping. You can buy 100% pure citronella oil in larger sizes like 16 oz, 32 oz and even in 1 gallon sizes on Ebay. And you can get the 1 gallon of 100% pure citronella oil from WFMED for less than $70! Which is way better than those fancy wrapped glass bottles of 1/2 oz going for $20. Remember it is pure citronella oil so do not put it on your animals undiluted as it will cause skin reactions. It needs to be mixed with something else to use as a carrier. You can add it to your regular fly spray or shampoo to boost the effectiveness and staying power. Or you can add it to your own home made fly spray receipe to do the same thing. You only need to add 5cc's or so to a quart of fly spray. So buying it in a 1 gallon container will last you quite a while.

• No, in my opinion, basil essential oil is not toxic to cats, but should be used as if they are a small child. It can be irritating to sensitive skin and eyes just like humans. But basil is safe to use around cats in normal methods and amounts.
• However, there has been recent evidence that essential oils can be toxic to cats (whether inhaled, applied to the skin, or taken internally). This is because a cat's liver is unable to correctly metabolise the various compounds of essential oils.
