Oil Blends

Essential oil blends combine two or more oils to provide more comprehensive benefits and a more complex fragrance experience. For example, if you want to relax, you can use a lavender and frankincense blend.

In aromatherapy, we talk about blended oils when we combine several essential oils with each other. Creating a blend consists in identifying the desired properties for a given problem, and in selecting several oils that can meet this need. Combining oils can increase efficacy by working on several levels. In one example, if you have a stomach ache, you may choose to use a spasmolytic essential oil such as exotic basil to soothe you. By adding a second essential oil such as bitter orange leaf, you will increase the soothing effect tenfold while relaxing your body more broadly.
