Thread: Anyone into Aromatherapy

Is anyone into Aromatherapy?

I need tips on how to mix. I have recently bought some of the main Pure essential oils and almond/jojoba carrier oils and have made a few bath/maassage oils but I am not sure if I am mixing correctly.

I made a mixture of carrier oil and 3 essential oils and I mixed 100ml carrier to 20 drops of each essential oil - is this correct?

I am also after other mixtures. So far I have used mixes for cellulite and relaxation but want to explore Aromatherapy more. Any tips?
