Custom Blending Basics Using Essential Oils
The concept of custom blending is not a new one. However, it is more popular than ever in this world of personalized health options.
Have you ever gone to a drink dispenser and combine maybe a little iced tea and lemonade? Well, that is “custom” blending.
Or have you mixed in a variety of seasonings when you are cooking a specific dish? That is also a form of custom blending.
When you choose a color scheme, pair more than two things together and match accessories to your clothing outfit, this is a type of customization (blending of colors, fabrics and themes).
The same philosophy applies with combining essential oils. As with your goals in combining drinks, foods and clothing, you have to know what your purpose is along with your overall goal and desired outcome. From here, you will bring in your olfactory senses, scentillect (essential oil knowledge) and scenterpretation skills (essential oil meanings) to formulate and create a final custom blend masterpiece.
How amazing! Nature in action, at its best!
The benefits you get are far and wide. Simultaneously you can help your mind and body find balance.
