Pure essential oils have a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Please remember that almost no essential oil should be applied undiluted to the skin, and certain oils should not be used during pregnancy or other circumstances (see chart below). About 15 drops of the essential oil to one ounce of carrier oil is suggested. A carrier oil can be Olive Oil, Grapeseed oil, Apricot Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Almond Oil, Castor Oil, or Wheat Germ Oil (mainly used for scars, wrinkles and stretch marks). Less is more with Essential Oils- too much can be overpowering.
Here is an Aroma Therapy Chart for you to refer to. Heed the warnings about certain oils to avoid during pregnancy etc:
