  2. What is Aromatherapy? • The Science of using essential oils for therapeutic, mood-enhancing ,and cosmetic benefits. It’s like old-timey pharmacy! • Back then, when even your parents weren't born, when you would drop by your local pharmacy to get a prescription filled, your prescription would be made up of herbs and essential oils.

This is an e3 essential oil called Clovebud

  4. Types of essential oils • The first type are Single Notes. They get their name because they are made up of a single ingredient. Single Note Examples: • Frankincense • Grape fruit • Chamomile • Clove Bud • The Second Type are synergy blends. They are good for stuff like cold & sinus, hurt muscles, and other problems. • The third type are dilutes. Diluting essential oils is done by blending with a carrier oil. The measurements of the blend will depend on how concentrated the final preparation needs to be. The best carrier oils are high quality vegetable oils, which can be found in a supermarket or healthfood store.

  5. Carrier oils • A Carrier oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fatty portion of a plant, usually from the seeds, kernels or the nuts.If applied to the skin undiluted, essential oils, absolutes, CO2s and other concentrated aromatics can cause severe irritation or reactions in some individuals. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential and other oils prior to application. They carry the essential oil onto the skin. Each carrier oil offers a different combination of therapeutic properties and characteristics. The choice of carrier oil can depend on the therapeutic benefit being sought. Natural lotions, creams, body oils, bath oils, lip balms and other moisturizing skin care products are also made using vegetable (carrier) oils. From a simple essential oil/carrier oil blend to a more complex natural lotion, your choice of carrier oil can make a difference in the therapeutic properties, color, overall aroma and shelf life of your final product.

  6. What can essential oils be used for? • They can be used in a bath or shower, in a diffuser or humidifier, and can be used as a massage oil also. There are many different uses for essential oils. • Another use for essential oils is a face mask, witch is a very therapeutic experience.
