| Blending is the combining of essential oils to produce a more focussed therapeutic effect or a specific fragrance. There is no limit on how many essential oils that can be used in a blend. Many blends for therapeutic effect contain about 3 to 4 essential oils. Essential oils blend harmoniously with essential oils in the same family like - Labiatae - Lavender, Clary Sage, Marjoram
- Coniferae - Juniper
- Rutacea - Lemon, Orange, Bergamot
Anytime an oil or a blend is applied directly to the skin, a carrier oil is highly recommended to dilute the essential oil. Carrier oils like almond oil, safflower oil, grapeseed oil and sunflower oil are rich in vitamins and minerals for the skin.
