Which bottle do you mean -- a bottle that you pour the oil into before using the? eye dropper?? The eye-dropper bottle. Second question: After filling the bottle with boiling water, you empty it immediately, pouring the water through a sterilized gauze.? Did I get that? right?? IF so, what's the purpose of the gauze?? Why not? pour the water directly into the sink? I said gauze, I turn the bottle on the sterilized gauze, to make sure it is well drained out..I'm to lazy to sterilize cloth and gauze are handiest for me at times..oh you could just shake out excess water, but usually it evaporates fast anyway..but one drop could dilute the oil we don't want that now do we?

Best wishes,
