Special Blends

I recomend that eucalyptus be exclusively used as the sole cutting agent for EOs(essential oils) used in nebulizing diffusers. In each of the following diffuser blends I've listed eucalyptus as a % of. This means that eucalyptus by itself represents that much % of the finished EOs blend being put into the nebulizer.

Over the years I have found eucalyptus to be the best single EO cutting agent and carrier for this task. It also meets all antiseptic and disinfecting criteria.You can experiment with the % of eucalyptus used, even discarding its addition to a blend altogether(except for the antiseptic/disinfecting blends). Not using it to cut a blend will require turning the diffuser pump up to full force and necessitate cleaning the nebulizer more often.
