Essential oils proper use
At a "farmers market" a person selling home made soap using essential oils was explaining how she was on her third level essential oil course. And that she had learned that you should not use essential oil "staight"...that it should be diluted first in a carrier oil. She went on to say that some oils can actually be dangerous if you do not do this. I frequently use essential oils and do not dilute them first. Can anyone comment as to the accuracy of what I was told?
Thanks

some essential oils will burn the skin if used straight. i have experienced this. as a form of perfume i can dilute them a little in fresh rose water kept in a tiny spray bottle. works fine. beware of using some straight. not all brands would have the same strength though.one of the local brands i use give modified strength to be used straight as perfumes on pulse points.
when you are massaging your body always use in some carrier oils. when i bath i put my favorite ones in my bath water, etc.

im confused. matt monarch swears by regular colonic hydrotherapy. its his no.1 raw tip, didn't think it could be dangerous but now it kind of makes sense. enemas seem much more natural in comparison.
I've heard great, great things about Living Light Culinary Arts Institute in Fort Bragg, CA. I know that isn't really in the Los Angeles area, but it's still in CA and I believe they provide students the option to stay in their 'Living Light Inn'....
The way I see it is that generally people who label themselves are confident of the path they have chosen while,also generally, people don't don't label aren't quite as sure if what they're following is the right way to go.

things that have actually worked for me:
Valerian root for tea - very calming...
Lemon juice, sliced lemon peel, lemon grass or lemon verbina, raw honey, star anise (optional), maybe some ginger, hot water (let it all infuse together for a while) ...
oh yeah there were like 3 judges who really eager to find mistakes in my asanas and other yoga practices that they asked me to perform :)
