Thrilled to be interviewed recently by for an editorial on aromatherapy and essential oils. There’s always a little edit to answers to keep things short and sweet, so here is my full response to one of the Q&A :
What are your tips for blending essential oils?
Have fun, be curious and be led by your nose and intuition! Like cooking, painting and all creative endeavours, we learn from experimentation and trying things out. Three is a nice number of scents to put together to create a synergy, and using different plants together. For example, rosemary (herb) bergamot (citrus) and geranium (flower) or different parts of the same type of plant, for example frankincense (tree resin) cedar (tree wood) and juniper (tree needle). The rules are, there are no rules, only discovering what scents you personally enjoy. I find it’s nice to work seasonally also, and my own preferences definitely change with the cyclical year and seasonal shifts.
Happy blending! Abi 🪐
