Mix
Essential Oils
-
It is recommended while mix essential oils to keep them to a minimum of
2 to 5 oils at a time. Each blend has its own unique and medicinal properties
and is not a simple combination of the properties of the ingredients concerned.
Therefore it is likened to the creation of an entirely new essential oil.
- The
best guide to an excellent blend is our own nose although it does take
some while in finding the perfect balance. The fact still remains that
one can learn best from experience alone.
We
can use dining table tools (materials) and tea service for simple measures
to mix essential oils and dilute in carrier or base oil, alchohol, soda,
water or floral water.

The
quantity of essential oils to be used in the carrier oils depends upon
the strength of its fragrance varying from 1 to 3%. The use of essential
oils per ml (in drops) is entirely dependent upon the specific gravity
of the oil, although a common measure is prevalent which averages around
2%, if you required 2% mixture in 50 mls of carrier oils, you would administer
20 drops of the essence.
