How to Make Aromatherapy Blends








Perfume industries seem to rely more on synthetic oils and less on essential oils. So, you could make your own aromatherapy blends. Home-made aromatherapy blends could make your skin glow and bring out the natural beauty of your skin. To make a successful aromatherapy blend, you need to have knowledge about properties of essential oils and experience in balancing different aromas. Let us go through the aromatherapy blending process for toning and cleansing:






Essential ingredients required are: 1 drop of rose essential oil, 1 drop of Lemon essential oil, 2 drops of Lavender oil and 3 Tea spoons of liquid honey. Add all the essential ingredients to a bowl. Mix the ingredients well and apply it on the face. Leave it on for 7 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Then pat dry and you will find the difference.






Aromatherapy blendsz are usually used for therapeutic purposes such as for aiding acne and easing aching muscles. You can also make your own aromatherapy blends for pleasure. Aromatic blends primarily created for pleasure can also provide therapeutic benefits. The law of arithmetic does not apply to aroma therapy blending. Note that some oils have synergy towards each other whereas other oils are antagonistic towards each other.




It is the responsibility of the aroma therapist to understand the qualities of various oils so as to effectively combine it. Aromatherapy blending necessitates certain safety precautions. For example, you have to exercise caution while using bergamot because of its' phototoxic properties.
