        Does anyone know how to convert a dose of drops of essential oil into how much whole fresh or dried herb?

        So for instance if I need 3 drops EO of lavender, how much of my dried lavender would do the same thing?

        (I know essential oils can vary widely depending on a lot of factors, but is there an approximate or a range?)

          Dose dry herbs or tinctures the way you always do. They[re not the same thing as essential oils. It takes lots of dry material to make oils.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

              I know Doc:)  That’s why I’m asking if anyone even knows this.  Maybe it’s not even a thing. Just wondering.

              Thanks!!
