From Blending to Creating

Blending essential oils for perfumes or remedies is like conducting an orchestra -- you are creating by bring out the harmonies and nuances of each essential oil you use. There are not only scent harmonies between oils but also therapeutic synergies: it is believed (and only beginning to be studied) that sometimes oils work together (or even cancel each other out).

But what if you want your creativity to go further? With summer in full swing in the Lavender Notes garden, the drying screens are loaded with calendula, St. Johns wort and lavender flowers. What do I do with all these floral herbs? I make infused oils, which are a great base for any future blends... or can be used on their own. Right now, I have Just Lavender and Just Calendula available at my etsy shop.

But you can also make tinctures, and it just so happens that Meg, the hostess of Threadbanger's Decor It Yourself 'cast, just posted a video on how to make your own tinctures. Watch and learn!

Much Health!
