: Eucalyptus and clove oil are essential oils. You can purchase them
at
: almost any health store. Look a selection of oils that are not all
: priced the same, because some oils require more complicated
: extractions, and you are not getting a quality item if you pay the
: same amount for all of them. One tiny bottle will last you
forever.
: Store them somewhere dark that will not stink up your whole house
and
: cap them tightly (I am getting pretty sick of the smell of cloves
: myself :). Do not use more than a couple drops in your recipes.
The
: safest way to avoid any burning or allergic reaction is to mix a
few
: drops of essential oil into a spoonful of carrier oil such as
olive,
: almond or even vegetable oil. These oils are not necessary for good
: colour but they will boost the performance of a second-class henna
: powder. Remember to test for allergies on everyone, even yourself,
: before use.
thank you for the information. its very funny that right after i
posted the question i saw in the recipes that it said essential oils,
just missed it i guess. i got a book yesterday and am working slowly
but surely on the rest of my supplies.
thanks again
