The essential oils are not applied in its pure form. Since essential oils are a very concentrated product, only a few drops needs to be added to the carrier oil, approximately 5-7 drops per 1 tbsp and that’s it. The frequency of usage also depends upon what you need to use it for. For preventive purposes, apply it once a week, for therapeutic purposes — 2-3 times a week is just enough. You’ll feel the changes and the results will become visible in usually 2-3 weeks. Keep in mind that essential oils are very concentrated and always check to make sure if you are allergic to them or not. However, feeling a slight burning sensation when using citrus or pine oil is usually normal and indicates the inflow of blood to the scalp, which is exactly what it should be doing. Some oils should never be used by pregnant women as it can harm both the mother and baby. So, always keep these things in mind while you’re dealing with essential oils.
