If you've ever copied an essential oil recipe and just hoped you were doing it right, this episode is your foundation. We walk through the core building blocks of safe, effective aromatherapy so you can stop guessing and start blending with confidence.

What you'll learn:

• How much essential oil is actually safe — why dilution matters and how to think in percentages, not just drops
• How to choose the right carrier oil for different applications
• Why a plant's part, cultivation, harvest, and distillation all shape its chemistry and therapeutic value
• Phototoxicity made simple — what it is (those furanocoumarins in many citrus oils), and why it's mostly citrus but not always: sweet orange and steam-distilled lime are safe, while cold-pressed lime, grapefruit, and even angelica root are phototoxic
• How to read a product page for safety — safety & shelf life, GC/MS batch reports, and why ethical, high-quality sourcing changes everything

We finish by formulating a simple everyday blend together, working through dilution and carrier choice live
