How to Use Thick Essential Oils

Published by THT Steph on 30th Jan 2021

Let’s talk about how to get thick essential oils out of the bottle. It can be tough to get some essential oils out of the euro dropper bottle, am I right? There are many components that play a part in the viscosity (thickness) of an essential oil. Thicker oils typically come from the resin or root of the tree, and can be difficult to get out of their euro droppers. Additionally, some oils grow even thicker and more potent as they age. Because essential oils are extracted from living plants that do not follow an exact chemical formula or an exact growing pattern, the thickness of a essential oil can vary from batch to batch.

If you’re having problems with your oils dropping from the bottle, here are some quick tips:

1. These droppers also work best when held horizontally (to the side) instead of vertically (upside down).
2. Warm the bottle by holding in hands, placing in a bowl of warm water (to prevent damaging the label put the bottle in a ziplock bag before placing in water)
3. Widen the holes on the orifice reducer with a sterile pin
4. Take the orifice reducer off of the bottle and use a pipette.

I hope that this helps you better enjoy these precious oils.

About Our Products

Herbal Tinctures

Tinctures are absorbed in the mouth and stomach and bypass the slower intestinal system, making sure you get the most our of every drop. 

Loose Tea & Herbs

We grind our herbs and spices in small batches as neeed to retain freshness. Cut herbs and teas are then sealed in nonreactive, resealable bags on the same day that your order is filled. Our process protects the flavorful, healthful constituents of each herb, retaining medicinal quality while providing optimal flavor.

Essential Oils

Our essential oils are unsprayed-wildcrafted, or certified organic, and put through rigorous quality control measures. Every batch is tested by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) testing to ensure therapeutic quality and purity.  There are no synthetics, fragrances, fillers, or toxic chemicals in our essential oils, ever!

And God said, 'See, I have given you every herb that yields seed on the face of all the earth,

and every tree that yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Genesis 1:29
