Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 Hi My name is Kim and I'm very new to this list and all of these topics. I would like to " start " by making my own mixtures of Bath soaks and Hand scrubs. I really have a love of Eucalyptus, and would like to use it for soaking in the tub, especially with winter here I love it for sinuses and upper respiratory. Also, when I go to the salons, I see and smell LOTS of lovely hand scrubs.They all smell so wonderful I just dont know which to pick!! I would like to learn the " basic recipe " if you will, so I can make many different ones to try and also eventually make them as gifts etc. I dont know the rules of thumb for proportions of ingredierts either so any recomendations for books or web sites that help beginners with the basics would be greatly appreciated. I am truely starting from the beginning, and am very interested in learning about using EO for therapeutic uses as well. I have spent a lot of time reading & enjoying many of the previous posts. (and taking notes as well) I am glad to have found the List!! Thank-you Kim from Ohio Quote

Take equal parts of sugar or salt and mix with equal part of almond oil. Add essential oils in the ratio of no more than 1 teaspoon to 1 cup of liquid. I use a blend of lavender, rose geranium and sweet orange that seems to be pleasant and acceptible to a great number of people. Quote
