Basically, blending is of two types :

1. Aromatic Blending
2. Therapeutic  Blending

Aromatic Blending - when you create a blend wherein the primary reason of creation is its aroma. While using such a blend therapeutic gain may also happen. But the sole reason of creation of a blend is its aroma.

Therapeutic Blending - focuses on making a blend that focuses on its therapeutic properties rather than aromatic. It is made to aid us in particular emotional or physical condition. But it is also important that the blend smells good also.

Carrier oils also referred to as base oils or vegetable oils, used to dilute essential oils before applying to the skin. They “carry” the essential oil onto the skin. Different carrier oils offer different properties and the choice of carrier oil can depend on the therapeutic benefit being sought.

Carrier oils are an important part of Aromatherapy. Carrier oils that you purchase should be natural and unadulterated.

Massage is the ultimate experience  that essential oils have to offer, and you do not have to be a professional Aromatherapist to use them in this way. Massage oils can also be used as a moisturizer for your skin, either by adding a spoon (5ml) of a blend to your bath or by applying the oil after bathing.

Essential oils are the integral part of Aromatherapy. Essential oils provide the ‘aroma’ part of the aromatherapy. Essential oils are the subtle, volatile liquids that are extracted from flowers, resins, wood, roots, fruits, herbs, leaves, seeds etc. Essential oils can affect every aspect of our daily life - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health and balance.

The Essential Oils have distinctive therapeutic, psychological and physiological properties that improve health and prevent illness. All essential oils have unique healing and valuable antiseptic properties. Some oils are anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, anti-depressant, stimulating, relaxing, expectorating, support digestion and have diuretic properties too.

In aromatherapy, blending is the most important part and is generally ignored by us. The mixing of essential oils is called blending. Creating your own personal essential oil blends can be one of the most creative and satisfying aspects of aromatherapy. Blends can be created for aromatic pleasure as well as for therapeutic purposes.
