Hey there!! Could someone please tell me if it is safe to use pure essential oil in a bath, and also how much to use and what precautions to take. I was thinking particularly of using Patchouli. Thanx every1 :)

Yes, you can! Patchouli is wonderful in the bath. You can try 5-10 drop. You can also mix in some other bath oil. Like sweet almond oil or jojoba oil. If you want, add in 1 tbsp of whole milk as a dispersing agent. This will keep the oils from slicking on the top of the water & up the sides of your tub. :)

So that's how you prevent that!

Wow! I learn something new everytime I peek in here! I love it! Who knew a "milk bath" had a purpose aside from the nice feeling! ;) Thanks!
