The Art of Blending: Creating Your Personal Aromatherapy Mix

Body: Blending essential oils is an art and a science. It's about understanding the properties of each oil and how they interact. Here’s a beginner's guide to creating your own blends:

Understand Notes: Essential oils are categorized as top, middle, or base notes depending on their evaporation rates. Top notes (like lemon) are light and evaporate quickly, middle notes (like lavender) balance the blend, and base notes (like sandalwood) are heavy and linger.

Start Simple: Begin with two to three oils. For a relaxing blend, try combining lavender (middle note) with bergamot (top note) and ylang-ylang (base note).

Follow the Rule of Three: A common blending ratio is 30% top note, 50% middle note, and 20% base note.

Test Your Blend: Combine a few drops of each oil in a small container. Let it sit for a few hours, then smell it to see how the scents have merged.

Safety First: Always research your oils for any contraindications, especially if you're pregnant or have health issues.

Blending is a journey – enjoy the process of discovering what scents work best for you!
