Hi Toni,
Thank you for the great info about certain oils to avoid. While I have not had to use the mustard (thankfully I am having a remission of sorts) I have filed that info away because it seems have such good results.
I wanted to share some info on these oils as possible carrier oils for the mustard treatments. In addition to treating against the mites, these oils will assist in fighting fungal infections like candida alibicans (especially when it has gone systemic and is exiting through the skin in lesions).
Perhaps using a simple 50/50 blend of organic coconut oil with organic extra virgin olive oil would be great. Olive oil contains more oleic acid and less linoleic and linolenic acids than other vegetable oils, that is, more monounsaturated than polyunsaturated fatty acids. These two oils have a great synergystic effect from the acids that are components of each. Coconut oil is also a great carrier oil used by itself. It is very deep penetrating and is very easily absorbed. Olive oil has great anti-parasitic properties due to its content of oleic acid and it’s tendency to smother and draw parasites from the skin. The two oils may be a good combination to use as a base for this mustard treatment and are known as caprol.
Caprol
This is caprylic acid (coconut oil) combined with oleic acid (olive oil). Caprylic acid is anti-fungal. Oleic acid follows the mycelial root-tentacles of C.A. to the base of the root and kills it there. It also hinders any additional conversion of C.A. yeast into its Mycelial fungal form which is very invasive.
Note: Caprol can be used topically to treat the symptoms of itching and rashes caused by the fungi exiting the body. It relieves these symptoms and prevents further infection.

Penetration: As said earlier, Coconut Carrier Oil derives its penetrability from coconut oil, which is amazingly good at absorption through the skin.
Stability: Being one of the most stable oils, it does neither go rancid itself nor does it let the other oils or herbal extracts or medicines spoil in it for a long time. Thus, you can mix your desired thing it and keep it for future for a long-long time.
Anti Fungal & Anti Microbial Properties: This property makes Coconut Carrier Oil an ideal protector of other oils & herbal extracts from microbial or fungal actions. This is primarily due to presence of medium chain fatty acids like Capric Acid, Caprylic Acid, Caproic Acid, Lauric Acid and Myristic Acid.
Non Irritability: Ideal carrier oils should not cause irritations to skin. In this regard, Coconut Oil is one of the best because it is very soothing for the skin and helps reduce inflammations too, if caused by anything mixed in it.
Non Reactivity: Coconut Oil does not react with or alter chemical or medicinal properties of other oils, herbal extracts or medicines mixed into it. This is a very useful property of Coconut Carrier Oil.

Antimicrobial (Antiseptic) Effects of Coconut Oil
Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids such as lauric (C-12), caprylic (C-10) and myristic (C-14) acids. Of these three, coconut oil contains 40% lauric acid, which has the greater anti-viral activity of these three fatty acids. Lauric acid is so disease fighting that it is present in breast milk. The body converts lauric acid to a fatty acid derivative (monolaurin), which is the substance that protects infants from viral, bacterial or protozoal infections. This was recognized and reported in 1966 (Jon Kabara). Work by Hierholzer and Kabara (1982) showed that monolaurin has virucidal effects on RNA and DNA viruses, which are surrounded by a lipid membrane.
In addition to these RNA and DNA viruses, in 1978, Kabara and others reported that certain medium chain fatty acids, such as lauric acid have adverse effects on other pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast and fungi.
These fatty acids and their derivatives actually disrupt the lipid membranes of the organisms and thus inactivate them (Isaacs and Thormar 1991; Isaacs et al. 1992). This deactivation process also occurs in human and bovine milk when fatty acids are added to them (Isaacs et al. 1991).
