          The ratio is pretty much the same regardless of the herb. Since we aren’t taking oils internally and dosing isn’t and issue, the ratio isn’t very important. It just needs to be strong.

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