How to Mix Essential Oil ?
After studying the feature, properties or category, select the
essential oils you wish to mix and use. It is preferable not to
mix more than three oils at a time. Also select the oils
belonging to the same category. For example if you want to
use more than one oil select them all from either floral, spicy,
citrus, green or woody. Hence you could try out a mixture of
perhaps lavender, rose and ylang ylang as all these belong
to the floral family.
Once you have selected the oils that you want to mix and
use, try the combination in a smaller quantity before you mix
a large quantity so as to not waste the oils. Cut long strips
of blotting paper, put a drop of each of the selected oils in
case you wish to use equal amounts of all the oils selected.

In case you have decided to use anyone or two of the selected oil more than the other, add two drops of those.
Now hold the strip and move the oily tip of the blotting paper backward and forward under your nose as you inhale
the aroma. Allow your sense of smell to be the judge and guide you in selecting the combinations.
Since aroma therapy is very personal you should get the other person to do a similar test before mixing a
combination because it is not necessary that the mixture selected by you and liked by you should necessarily be
liked by others too.
Equipment:-
- A 10 ml dark coloured glass bottles with stoppered caps for storing pure essential oils.
- Four eye-droppers or pipettes. You could use one only if you thoroughly wash it every time after every use.
- A small funnel for pouring carrier oils into bottles.
- A large, dark coloured glass, stoppered bottles for storing the combinations of oils or a ceramic bowl for
immediate use. Please do not use metal containers or bowls.
- Strips of blotting paper.
