* The amount of oils depend upon the strength of the oil. Some are very 
concentrated, others not so much. You will have to trust your won senses when it 
comes to the amounts. I think that Belaxis used some essential oils, where as I 
used inexpensive candle scents. I have found that candle scents work really well 
in incense since they are meant for burning as opposed to anointing or healing.
