How to Create Essential Oil Recipes

Creating essential oil recipes is all about experimentation. While there is no reason that you can’t use any of the thousand recipes available on the internet, or in aromatherapy books, by creating essential oil recipes yourself, you are able to tailor a blend to your specific needs, based on your scent preferences.

When creating essential oil recipes, you are not limited in what you can do with the blend. You can use it for health benefits, create personalized potpourri, soaps, body lotions and creams or make candles, amongst other things.

Creating essential oil recipes doesn’t always mean you’ll get it right. Mixing three of your favourite oils together doesn’t guarantee success. One oil may overpower the others, or you may find that you don’t like the combined scent. That doesn’t mean you should stop creating essential oil recipes though.

When you first begin creating essential oil recipes, it is a good idea to look through an aromatherapy book, or have a look at a couple of aromatherapy sites. By doing this, you’ll begin to get an understanding of which essential oils work well together. This doesn’t mean that you then have to follow the recipes you find. It just gives you a foundation to work from when creating essential oil recipes yourself.

Once you have started creating essential oil recipes, you won’t want to stop. And there’s no reason to. You can create wonderful personalized gifts using the blends you’ve made, and you will know that it will be a unique present, and has the added benefit of providing aromatherapy to the recipient.

When creating essential oil recipes, you can tailor them to help treat a health condition, or you can use them to help create a certain mood – relaxing, soothing, energizing, revitalizing.

Creating essential oil recipes has many benefits. You are making a completely natural mixture to be used in aromatherapy or product that either you, or someone you love, will use. Putting thought into something completely upholds what aromatherapy tries to do, which is to treat mind, body and soul.

To ensure that this does happen, make sure that any oils you use when creating essential oil recipes are of therapeutic grade. Cheap fragrance oils will provide no health benefits, and may actually cause irritation, especially if applied to the skin, even if diluted.

When you have the confidence to begin creating essential oil recipes, you then have the power to help your body naturally. This can only be beneficial in a world that is always looking for a ‘quick fix’. Aromatherapy can provide that fix, but in a natural, positive way.

Creating oils sound like it would be cool to do. My brother told me of his experience when he went to a spa where they made the oils specifically to help everyone relax and leave feeling refreshed. He now makes oils for his wife and baby and it seems to really keep them relaxed. I think I could get into making oils to help me relax more.
