Are you thinking about experimenting with essential oils? Perhaps one of the most intimidating things about essential oil blends is not knowing which ones to pair together. Creating your own essential oil blends can be a fun and relaxing experience for many!
Tips for Making Great Essential Oil Blends
Getting Started
You’ll want to have the right ingredients and gear on hand when you get started. You will want a dropper or pipette to extract the essential oils with. You will also need small glass storage bottles, some cotton balls to smell your essential oils, and a pair of gloves to keep your hands protected. Also, don’t forget a pen and paper to write down your combinations!
You’ll also want to make sure you have a lot of essential oils to choose from. This will allow you to get more creative when you create essential oil blends. In addition to having a variety, you will also want to make sure that they are all high-quality essential oils to help you achieve the best scent possible.
Finally, remember to only mix a small amount of essential oils together. The last thing you want to do is create a combination that doesn’t work and waste a large amount of essential oils. You’ll want to start out by combining just a few drops at a time—think 10 drops or less.
Creating Essential Oil Blends
The main key to creating great essential oil blends is finding a way to group your oils together. There are two main ways you can go about doing this:
- The same benefits. A popular method that many people use is by grouping together essential oils that share offer similar benefits. For example, you might be looking to create an essential oil blend that will help reduce stress. In this instance, you might choose lavender, sandalwood, jasmine, and patchouli essential oils. Blending essential oils with a purpose in mind may make it easier to reap the benefits.
- Similar scents. Another option is to pair together essential oils that have similar scents. If you were going for a citrusy scent, then you would want to combine essential oils like lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit, and citronella. Grouping your oils this way can make for beautiful scents
Once you have created an essential oil blend that you think you might like, be sure to smell it the following day. This can help ensure that you still enjoy, especially if you tried several different combinations of essential oils.
These are just some tips for great essential oil blends! While it will take practice, following these steps can help you achieve your aromatherapy goals.
