The Quick-Start Guide
Two pages, free, no email required. The parts that apply to the bottle you actually buy: the dilution table, the nine oils that react with sunlight, the twenty-four that are labelled for food use here with their daily limits, six oils worth starting with, and how to run a diffuser without wasting it.

What is in it
- The dilution table — in drops per 10 ml of carrier oil, because that is how bottles are actually sold. Four rows, and they prevent most of the mistakes people make.
- The nine photosensitive oils — which ones react with sunlight on skin, the twelve-hour rule, and why diffusing them is unaffected.
- The twenty-four labelled for food use — with the daily limit each label states, and a note on the ones people expect to find there and do not.
- Six oils worth starting with, and what each is actually for.
- The diffuser — thirty minutes on, thirty off; three to five drops, not fifteen; and how to clean it.

What it is not
It is not medical advice, and it makes no claim that an essential oil diagnoses, prevents, treats or cures anything. It is a reference for labelling and dilution, written for the shops that serve Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
