Life is filled with stressors, and to stay healthy you need to de-stress at some point in the day. Aromatherapy is one excellent way of stepping out of the daily grind for just a few moments, but what if you have not yet found your perfect scent? If you want to create the perfect fragrance and set a mood synchronized with your own mind and body, consider creating your own aromatherapy blend. It is an all-natural way to personalize your relaxation.
If you choose to make your own aromatherapy blend, you need to take into consideration the time, and art that has to go into it. Here are some suggestions for creating the right mix for you:
Safety First
As with any potentially harmful agent, be careful when mixing essential oils together. Not only do you have to evaluate the properties of the oil before mixing, but make sure you are in a well-ventilated area. Make sure that oils you are use will not reactive negatively on each other, or cancel each other out. Choose oils that will work with each other to create the right effect. Wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling the pure oils to prevent contact with the skin.
Stay Pure
Never use artificial fragrance oils in your aromatherapy blend. Artificially-scented oils only provide fragrance to the mix, and can remove the healing or reconstructive powers of the essential oil. Only use completely natural oils. You can usually tell by reading the ingredients on a bottle of scented oil. If does not list any ingredients, or just fragrance oils or a few other ingredients, it is not an aromatherapy product. If you have any questions, ask a store attendant.
Experiment
The best way to tell how an aromatherapy blend will work out is to test the oils first. Try applying a few dabs of the essential oils you are going to use onto a piece of tissue. Feel its texture, smell for fragrance and do this with each of the oils then try mixing your blend. Your aromatherapy blend will either be enhanced, flat or have no significant effect at all. This may take some time, but eventually you will find the right blend for you.
If you are serious about finding the best way to calm yourself after a hectic day, then consider taking the time to find the right aromatherapy blend for you. Become your own scientist, and experiment with different oils to find the one that suits you the best. The time and effort will be worth it in the end!
