Essential Oil
What’s a basic recipe for blending essential oil?
I’m planning on making my own home fragrance oil to put on a diffuser but II don’t know what essential oil to buy. Can you give me a basic recipe blend? I’m thinking about starting with Lavender.
It depends what you want it for, Lavender is good for sleep . Anything citrus will make you more up beat. Lemon grass with anything woody smelling ie cedar wood is relaxing but not tiring . Clary sage good for lowering stress and addictions. Roman Chamomile mixed with lavender is very good for sleep. Don’t forget just a tiny amount is needed in a carrier oil (Any vegetable oil ie jojoba oil almond oil even olive oil at a pinch) 5 to 10 drops per quarter cup. should be good.

Pure Eucalyptus
Buying Pure Essential Oils?
Im making homemade bathsalts for medicinal purposes and don’t want to order them off the internet. Any store recommendations?
-Lavender
-Sandalwood
-Patchouli
-Eucalyptus
-Jasmine
just do not get them at a big box store/drug store as these are synthetic and do not have the medicinal properties.
Brands like aura casia are usually sold at whole foods or local health food stores or health food coops.
Look up natural foods stores and herb shops in the yellow pages and call and ask them if they sell essential oils and then ask for the ones you need.

Aromatherapy
What is a good attention getter for my introduction on a speech for Aromatherapy?
i have a speech due in the next few days about aromatherapy, and i dont know what attention getter i can use. help?
You could bring in a few oils and pass them around during your speech. Don’t pass the bottles, but you can make little scent strips out of watercolor paper, and add a drop or two to the strip before passing it around. You could either label the strips ahead of time, or maybe ask people to guess. Pick oils that contrast, but still work well together, like juniper and lemon, or citrus and clove. The aromas will definitely make it memorable, and the audience interaction will make it more interesting.
