Aromatherapy Oil Blends

Aromatherapy oil blends have many uses such as massage oils, hair treatments, body and face oils with their moisturising and nourishing properties. Another versatile way to utilise essential oils in an aromatherapy application.
The following recipes will guide you step by step through making your very own
bespoke aromatherapy oil blend. These recipes may be followed exactly, alternatively, why not have fun creating your own unique blends to suit your individual needs. Just be sure to follow the dilution ratios as appropriate to your circumstances.

Ingredients

● Your chosen essential oils
● An empty dark glass bottle to hold 50 ml of oil and a little extra for the essential oils.
● 50 ml carrier oil of your choice. There are many carrier oils with various
properties, I will make a suggestion for each recipe, but feel free to experiment.
● Nut allergy sufferers must use a carrier oil, such as sunflower or grapeseed oil.

Method

● Fill your empty bottle with your chosen carrier oil, then add your blend of
essential oils into the bottle. Close the lid and shake to mix.
Dilution 1-2.5% dilution for psychological or pain-relieving actions into 50 ml of carrier oil.
● 1% dilution for use on the face, with children 2-12 years old, the elderly, sensitive skin or where fragility and medical history indicates caution. = 10 drops
● 2.5% dilution for adult bodily application with no medical conditions or sensitive skin = 25 drops
