Beginner's Guide to DIY Aromatherapy

Are you ready to become a master blender? We have put together a short and simple guide to mindfully crafting your own potions at home to nurture your wellbeing, naturally. From transforming your favourite essential oil blend into a natural perfume, room spray, rollerball and more, there are endless opportunities to get creative with your wellness. Let the DIY fun begin… 

	DIY Natural Perfume To create your very own natural aromatherapy perfume, simply add 5-10 drops of your favourite blend of essential oils to every 10mL of Natural Perfume Base (where benzoin tincture acts as a natural fixative) and enjoy your new, 100% natural, signature scent!
	DIY Room Spray / Body Mist Start by mixing 2-3 drops of Essential Oil Solubiliser to every 1 drop of your chosen essential oil blend. Keep in mind that the quantity required may vary depending on the oil being dissolved. We recommend patch testing on your skin before increasing the dilution. To create a room spray, simply slowly add water and shake well!
	DIY Aromatherapy Massage Oil Essential oils are concentrated and are rarely massaged onto the skin without first being diluted. It is best to use a cold-pressed carrier oil, such as Jojoba Oil, to create the base of your nourishing massage oil. The standard ratio of essential oils to carrier oil is 5 drops to every 10mL of base oil.
	DIY Aromatherapy Rollerball Add up to 10 drops of your chosen essential oil blend to 10mL of Jojoba Oil, then give it a little shake, label your rollerball bottle and enjoy!

Even though the essential oils are being diluted in this recipe for topical application, we still recommend avoiding blends with high quantities of spice oils (such as clove, cinnamon etc.) and taking care with lemon-scented oils (such as lemongrass, may chang and lemon myrtle etc.) as these can potentially cause skin irritation and photosensitivity. If you would like to use blends containing these oils, we recommend consulting an aromatherapist to ensure you are using aromatherapy safely and effectively.
