: Eucalyptus and clove oil are essential oils. You can purchase them at : almost any health store. Look a selection of oils that are not all : priced the same, because some oils require more complicated : extractions, and you are not getting a quality item if you pay the : same amount for all of them. One tiny bottle will last you forever. : Store them somewhere dark that will not stink up your whole house and : cap them tightly (I am getting pretty sick of the smell of cloves : myself :). Do not use more than a couple drops in your recipes. The : safest way to avoid any burning or allergic reaction is to mix a few : drops of essential oil into a spoonful of carrier oil such as olive, : almond or even vegetable oil. These oils are not necessary for good : colour but they will boost the performance of a second-class henna : powder. Remember to test for allergies on everyone, even yourself, : before use. thank you for the information. its very funny that right after i posted the question i saw in the recipes that it said essential oils, just missed it i guess. i got a book yesterday and am working slowly but surely on the rest of my supplies. thanks again renee'
