Making a personal blend - Very Long

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

We trade recipes all the time based on what has

worked for us and or others we know. What I

would like to put across to you is why not take

the different oils and then make a blend that

works for you specifically.

 

You are probably asking, how can I do this and/or

why should I reinvent the wheel.

 

Well the answer, IMHO, is that since each

person's body chemistry is different then each

person will react differently to each essential

oil and should customize the synergy/blend for

themselves.

 

Here is how I go about making an individualized

blend. (Maybe some others can chime in and tell

how they do it too.)

 

A.) Define what I want the oil/synergy to do for

me.

 

B.) Research all the oils I have on hand for

those that are supposed to have the properties

for what I want.

 

C.) Choose from the oils all the ones that are

said to work for that specific purpose as defined

in " A " above.

 

D.) I put all those oils on my table with clean

perfume strips for each oil.

 

E.) I put one drop of oil on a clean perfume

strip and wave it under my nose. (make sure you

label it so you don't forget what you have

already sniffed). Breathe deeply as you sniff

through your nose, hold your breath, and then

release it. You should be able to tell if it is

doing what you want it to do or not (ie; relax,

concentrate, etc).

 

F.) I do " E " above for each oil that I am

working with.

 

G.) As I sniff each oil, I place them in one of 3

categories (Love, Like, Dislike).

 

H.) I then take all the Dislikes and put them

away.

 

I.) With all the " Loves " I take the perfume

strips and choose the 3 that I love the most.

 

J.) Then take those 3 and place them side by side

and wave them under your nose sniffing again.

This will tell you if you like they way they

smell together.

 

K.) If you like them great. Do this with all the

oils you like, interchanging the perfume strips

until you have the 3, (or more if you want but I

have found that 3 usually works just fine), oils

that smell the best to you and seem to do what

you want the oils to do for you.

 

L.) Now you want to determine the amounts of each

oil you should use (ie; number of drops). I

determine this by holding the 3 perfume strips in

my hand, like a fan, and place them at different

levels then sniff again. (this is hard to

explain and picture). Adjust the level of each

strip until the aroma is what seems to work best

for you, then write it down. The one that is

highest is the one you will use the most of and

the second is the next most and the third is the

least. For example:

 

You have chosen Frankincense, Rose and Ylang

Ylang.

 

Frankincense is the one closest to your nose so

you would use 3 parts, Ylang Ylang is second

closest so you would use 2 parts, and Rose is the

farthest away so you would use 1 part.

 

Write down your recipe and then build your

synergy/blend. First try say 3 drops, 2 drops

and 1 drop, so you aren't wasting any oil. If

that smells right then you have if not adjust it

as needed.

 

When I have gotten the formula exacting how I

want it then I make up a 5 ml bottle full and

that in different ways. IE; inhalers, massage

blend, aroma lamp or bath.

 

I hope this makes some sense...it is a bit

confused but very easy to do.
