When I make essential oil Massage blends, I usually stick to about a 2% dilution.

2% Dilution

• 1 oz (30 ml) — 10 to 12 drops
• 2 oz (60 ml) — 20 to 24 drops

That’s assuming I’m doing a relaxation massage, and not blending for any specific issue. If I just want to encourage a calm mind and relaxed body, 2% is strong enough. That comes to about 10–12 drops of essential oil for every 1 oz (30 ml) of carrier oil.
