| Blending Essential Oils The following is a guideline for blending essential oils. You will need a glass bottle or bowl and a glass rod for mixing. Start by blending a drop or two at a time until you have a blend that suits you.
Aromabath, Milk Bath, Fizzy Bath: Add 6 - 9 drops per 100ml. Use 2 - 3 tbsp. in each bath. Aromatherapy Bath: Essential Oils can be added directly to your bath water, but it is recommended to add them to a bath oil or carrier oil first,. Our bath oil has the ability to naturally disperse essential oils without leaving an oily residue! It is also advisable to dilute essential oils before putting them into your bath water as some oils can be skin irritants (see Precautions). For your bath, blend 9 - 15 drops of essential oils with 15ml (1 tbs) bath oil. Add to a full tub as essential oils start to evaporate immediately. Back to top Aromatherapy Footbath: Add 6 - 9 drops to 2 gallons (8 liters) of warm water. Aromatherapy Massage: For 1 application use 15ml (1 tbs) massage oil and add 9 - 15 drops of essential oils. After the Storm Massage: 15ml Rose Maroc (3% dilution), 5 drops Bergamot, 5 drops Lavender Aromatherapy Showers: Enjoy your favorite aromas in the shower by closing the drain and adding 9 - 15 drops of essential oils blended with bath oil. Back to top Aromatic Conditioner: Add 3 drops of essential oils to 5ml conditioner, 5ml cider vinegar and 2 cups of warm water. Rinse diluted mixture through freshly washed hair. Aromatic Hand & Body Lotion: Add 20 - 30 drops to 240ml (8oz) unscented lotion Aromatic Shampoo: Add 6 - 9 drops to 180ml (6oz) or 12 - 15 drops to 240ml (8 oz). Aromatic Shower Gel: Add 30 - 50 drops to 240ml (8 oz) unscented shower gel. Back to top Bath Raves: Add 1 to your bathtub just after you get in then enjoy! Green Clay Face or Foot Mask: A Face Mask has been used for centuries to cleanse and tone the skin. It can also do the same for your feet as well as being relaxing and rejuvenating. Try it and see! Add 2ml (1 teaspoon) jojoba oil to 30 grams (1 tbs) green clay. Then blend in 3 - 6 drops essential oils. Then add sufficient water ( 1 - 2 tbs) to make a spreadable paste. Leave mask on for 15 to 30 minutes. Lie back and close your eyes. Rinse off with warm water. Back to top Facial Massage: Add 6 - 9 drops to 15ml Face Oil. Facial Scrub: Mix 1 - 2 teaspoons (5 - 10ml) of our facial scrub grains with warm water. Stir into a paste and gently massage into the skin. Rinse off with tepid water. For a deeper cleanse, leave grains on longer. Back to top Lamp Rings: Add 3 - 5 drops to 15ml (1 tbs) distilled water. Caution: Always add oils and liquid to the lamp ring while it is away from the light bulb. Inhalation: Vapor inhalation is one of the fastest methods of absorbing a few drops of essential oils into the body. Inhalation works really well for sinus congestion and respiratory problems. Add 3 - 6 drops essential oils to a large bowl of warm water. Cover head with a towel and breathe deeply for 10 minutes. This formula can also be used in a simmer pot on the stove. Back to top Steam Facials: Steam facials are great for opening pores, stimulating blood circulation and moisturizing the skin. Use the same method for facial steaming as is used for inhalation. Tea Light Diffusers: Fill the bowl with 30ml (2 tbs) distilled water and add 6 - 9 drops essential oils To get those creative juices flowing, try 6 drops of Inspire Signature Scent with a little water in your diffuser. During the flu season try 6 drops of Anti-Viral Signature Scent with a little distilled water in your diffuser.
