A 0.6% dilution rate = 5 drops of oil in 30ml of carrier (which is 2 tbsp or 1 fl oz.). • Use caution in these situations: when using pethidine, MAIOs or SSRIs, anticoagulants, or if you have have peptic ulcer, hemophilia, or other bleeding disorders • Not generally recommended over Cinnamon Bark or Leaf.
