Lavandula officinalis is INDEED the genus/species name of lavender. If the bottle says "Lavender Essential Oil" on it, by law, it is supposed to contain Pure Essential Oil of Lavender with NOTHING else in it, ie no carrier oils. With lavender oil, it is okay to use one or two drops directly on the skin. Lavender oil rubbed on the temples is a specific again migraines and other forms of headaches. Lavender essential oil if one of the VERY few that actually can be rubbed on the skin. This would be contraindicated with most other essential oils as they are just to strong for such an application, and really must be diluted with other carrier oils or lotions. Typically, to make lavender oil, or any other medicinal oil, like a massage oil, you will want to add 25-30 drops of essential oil per 8oz of whatever carrier oil you're using. You can use any oil essential oil on the body, with the possible exception of oil of wintergreen, which is a hepatotoxin and can be absorbed through the skin. Some oils you will simply need to be careful of because they are EXTREMELY strong, and more sensitive people may react to them, especially if used on their faces, so ALWAYS tell a client if you've used essential oils in your massage oil. Tell them which ones, and offer them a shower after their massage or instruct them to shower upon arriving home, especially if their face feels hot or tight. As far as detox is concerned, yes, essential oils will assist you with this process (usually), but as a massage therapist, I feel much more of this detox process is effected by the strokes you use, and the depth to which you massage. I use a custom-made blend with primarily rose, orange, ylang-ylang, vanilla, bergamot, neroli, and clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, a bit of lemon and other essential oils. The women in my practice adore this oil, as do many of the men. Any more q's? Email me.

The rule with oils is one part essential to ten parts carrier oil. I'm not sure about the oil from GNC, oils can be 100% pure synthetic oil, but they just leave that little part out. I use a brand called Garden Essence, they are garenteed pure and organic. I have never had any skin reactions with these like I have other brands. As for the mix to do detox I don't know of any right now sorry. I hope that helps and good luck!

generally you make a blend of 1 to 3 percent, thats all so 1 to 10 is incorrect. Jojoba carrier oil is thick so it will have something less than 600 drops to the ounce. if it is 500 drops to the ounce then a 1 percent solution would have 5 drops of lavender to the ounce of carrier, 10 drops would be a 2 percent blend and 15 drops would be a 3 percent blend. I use 10-15 drops per ounce of carrier and half that amount for a child. don't know about detoxing with essential oil and I never heard of using lavender for this. Also I don't care for GNC at all, never have. get your oil from camdengrey.com as I do.
