[ATFE2] Welcome and blending question
Welcome Francisca. I'm fairly new to aromatherapy and am trying to get the hang of blending. When I read about what oils blend well together, do they mean scent-wise, a synergistic effect or both?
I am using a lotion blended with patchouli and lavender for toning flabby skin, but would like to try patchouli with lemongrass since they are both supposed to be good for that. I wouldn't mind if it might smell odd, I'm just going for therapeutic benefit. I'm not that fond of the scent of patchouli and am thinking the lemongrass would probably enhance it even though it's not a combination I've seen in books as considered blending well together. I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks.
Janet

Good day!
About 3 years ago I noticed I could smell scents. I have a big nose
but it was not very usefull in smelling things. Exept when I was
pregnant! Then I could smell everything very deeply and truely...but it
always was gone after giving birth
But
then came my youngest and my ability to smell stayed. That was a great
gift, I was sure it meant something. And I bumped in to Aromatherapy
(again) and started my study. After receiving my certificate I started
another study: making your own lotions, salves and creams. After
learning to do that and making a lot of presents for my family and
friends I extended my skills to making soaps. And discovered that
scenting a soap properly isn´t easy at all. Of course you can throw in
a bottle of Perfume Oil and have a nice smelling soap. But that´s not
what I want. I would like to make a soap that´s truly good for your
skin (that is what soap is made for). A scent can do other things to
you: change your mood, make you feel better, comfort you...Natural
perfumery is extended Aromatherapy to me!
Feel free to ask questions...
Kind regards,
Francisca
