How many drops of essential oil should I use in total?
For a full adult bath, 5–10 drops of essential oil diluted in a tablespoon of carrier oil is usually sufficient.
Florals such as rose, jasmine and ylang ylang are especially potent – 1–2, maximum three drops diluted in a tablespoon of carrier oil may be enough. Using too much can cause headaches or overwhelm the senses.
Remember: a bath is about subtle immersion, not intensity.
