: Reading the posts of everyone about the EOs I am just a little: concerned. I do not know much about them but 40 drop or 3 mls gosh

: When i use EOs (in the girls bath sometimes) i use 6 drops max.

As far as i understand it and this is from my aromatherapy people you
should not use any undiluted EOs on the skin at all....it may be safe
to use but as you are using on lots of different people then you are
operating in a too many variable situation. Defifinetly dont use
undilited Cajeput i was told as its a skin irritant.
The thing is here is that your diluting it down with the henna powder
and henna solution...this would result in the amount of oil in
contact with the skin at any time is probably within safe
limits....unless your gonna do a whole back design which is one large
block then this may be a problem!
i dont really think its anything to worry about....as long as your
not saturating your henna with EOs (which u cant do anyway cos oil
and water dont mix in high concentrates it will seperate your henna)
