Is your Balsam of Peru thick?
Many components play a part in the viscosity (thickness) of an oil. Thicker oils typically come from the resin or root of the tree. Some oils grow thicker and more potent as they age. Because essential oils are extracted from living plants that do not follow an exact chemical formula or an exact growing pattern, each batch of the same oil can vary as well.
If you’re having problems with your oil dropping from the bottle, here are some quick tips:
1. Droppers typically work best when held horizontally (to the side) instead of vertically (upside down).
2. Warm the bottle by holding in hands, or by placing in a bowl of warm water. (To prevent damaging the label, put the bottle in a ziplock bag before placing in water.)
3. Widen the holes on the orifice reducer with a sterile pin.
4. Take the orifice reducer off of the bottle and use a pipette.
Tips:
Calming Bath
Combine all ingredients. Add to a warm/hot bath and soak for 20 minutes. For additional comfort, dissolve oils in 1 cup Epsom or Sea Salt and add to bath water.

In a bowl, mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Store in a small container with a tight lid. To use, apply a small amount of mixture to your lips with your finger and scrub in a circular motion. Rinse off completely.
