MAKING
GOOD SCENTS
the
benefits of using essential oils to create scented blends and
oleofactory pleasures.
When
we consider the additional benefits of using pure essential oils to
create your own scented blends for skincare, emotional and physical
well being, it becomes a unique and hard to resist opportunity.
In
using gentle essential oils, even when your primary goal is to
create a beautiful scent, you are bound to reap the healing benefits
of the essential oil as well, which simply is not the case when using
synthetic fragrant oils.
Scent
can be an extremely powerful mood enhancer, often used to calm and
relax or to uplift and invigorate, there are even some that do both.
As
stress is one of the major contributors to disease in our society
today, the art of creating scent through essential oil blends in our
environment... aromatherapy... is a gentle and enjoyable wellness tool.
As
a matter of fact, creating a blend according to it's beneficial
properties is a whole other topic!
Using
pure essential oils to make your own scented blends doesn't just
make good scents, it makes good sense too!
THE
NEXT STEP
Many
pure essential oils are beautiful as they are. Take a sniff. Let the
essence filter through the air and into your nostrils. It lingers and
becomes you. Try it!
Tip:
Never sniff a pure essential oil straight from the bottle, hold it
away from you or put a drop onto a piece of paper or a q-tip, or put
it in a bit of carrier oil).
Essential
Oils are potent in their pure form - it's the lingering essence that
you are after. Sniffing essential oils straight from the bottle can
damage your sense of smell and it won't give you a true sense of the
particular essential oils scent, many are much different and
sometimes more pleasant when diluted.
It
is a good idea to start out by getting to know your oils individually.
Become
familiar with them. It will be easier to know just the right one to
use when you are looking for something to complete your new essential
oil blend and will give you a good variety to choose from when you
are in the planning stages of creating your blend.
Combining
a carefully considered array of pure essential oils into your blend
can open up a whole new world of essential oil scents and
combinations. Once you try it, you'll be hooked!
