Dilution rates

[?Crazaaay Kitty ?]

Hi all

Apologies up front, cause I'm going to be posting 3 messages so hope you won't be bored with me.

First of all, as per guidelines, I normally stick to 2.5% dilution rate as standard, however recently have been giving gymnasts aromatherapy treatments who are all under 16. I have been using 1% dilution, occasionally 1.5%. As they are 'sporty' people, do you think I should use a little more, perhaps 2%, or just stick to lower rate. At what age, do they stop being 'children' according to dilution rates and guidelines?

Bear in mind that it is the massage as well as the oils that help.

To be on the safe side I would stick to 1.5% as they are under 16. You may well be tempted to use more and I wouldn't disagree with you but you need to be careful so best stay on the low side.
