Options	N/A	Substitute more of the Essential Oils you do have with those listed that you don't have.			- The longer the mixture sits, the stronger it will become. So, if a milder scent is preferred, begin using it sooner. Simply check on the fragrence from time to time and use when it's to your liking.	- substitute Coconut Oil for another desired Carrier Oil (olive, almond, jojoba, etc.) - use any combination, or all, of the listed essential oils - use in conjunction with Cayenne Pepper, Ginger Root and Turmeric (curcumin) dietary supplements to treat pain and inflamation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. - Use Wild Lettuce	- select any other combination of these Essential Oils for a specific pest - to add more varieties of oils, divide the number of drops by the number of the desired oils. To be less strong of a mixture, use fewer drops. Be sure to keep the total percentage of essential oils under 15% of the total mixture for safety - add .5 ounces of jojoba oil for its moisturizing properties	Many find that a separate mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar & Witch Hazel (1/4 cup each) along with 6 drops each of cypress, frankincense, lavender, tea tree, geranium and lemon essential oils helps lower swelling and improves vein appearance within just a few weeks. Add .5 ounce of jojoba oil to fight wrinkles and .5 ounce of avocado oil to moisturize and treat dark circles under eyes.
