Essential oils Substrates

The type of media will be used under the application of essential oils will depend on the following elements:

- Absorption technique used

- The content of essential oil to use when applying.

- Toxicity of essential oils used

- The sensitivity of the person (depending on age, sensitivity to taste or smell, desires ...)

Here is a list of different types of matrices that I use for my part:

Absorption technique	Action area	Toxicity	Essential oil content	Support	Remarks
Oral	throat	Beware neurotoxic oils (ketones ...), aggressive liver (phenols ...) to allergy problems, and possible side effects when using other drugs. Consult an expert aromatherapist.	100%	pellet or neutral grape sugar	The pellets must be broken into two to allow absorption of oil drops by the surface
Oral	lower abdomen	Beware neurotoxic oils (ketones ...), aggressive liver (phenols ...) to allergy problems, and possible side effects when using other drugs. Consult an expert aromatherapist.	100%	Solubol	Dispersant without alcohol
