    There are lots of things to consider when blending essential oils together, like the molecules that compose them, energetic affinities, the plant parts from which they are distilled from.... But probably the most important thing is how they smell together. If your blend doesn't smell amazing, no one will use it!

      I’m actually planning to make with almond or avocado oil and mixed with essentials oil, but not sure how much of EO should I put on each 3ml bottle or mix all at once before putting into the bottles…

    @13:07. I found the part of holding bottles together to find a scent profile valuable. I never thought of that.
    And the idea of a lingering scent making it a one to three.
    All the information is technically valuable, but I knew all but the two I mentioned.
    This is a great presentation!

    Hi, thanks for making this great video! I'm having trouble understanding how to refine the blend, and how choosing each oil’s note will help me figure out the right amount for it.
    Should I put more drops of oil from the strongest note?

      yes, I usually gage it by aromatic potency - which scent is strongest and lingers, and which scents fade away more quickly.

    Hello, I just stopped by to say that your videos are amazing and very clear and easy to understand. But I would like to ask how to blend best frankincense, tea tree, lavander, thyme and lemon to desinfect my baby's room air during winter time. I'm planning to use that blend with diffuser - also do I need to add a certain amount of wanter ( for example 100ml of water with 20 drops of oils). Thank you very much. Kind Regards x

    • @officialamygalper
      @officialamygalper  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'd be cautious diffusing tea tree and thyme and lemon in baby's room...try watching my diffusing video about what not to diffuse? I'd just use frankincense and lavender...keep it gentle and make sure the room is well venitalted and the diffuser is only on for 5 minutes at a time

    Can we use single carrier oil instead of blending multiple carrier oil and single essential oil like 30 ml carrier oil with 6-8 drops of frankincense oil to make 1 % dilution?
    Is there any specific reason to add 6-8 drops of essential oil in 30 ml carrier oil? what , if we add more than 6-8 drops in 30 ml. does it harm you?
    Could you please instruct me what essential oil do you recommend for hair growth and anti wrinkle, spots and freckle for face and body?
    TIA

    • @officialamygalper
      @officialamygalper  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      yes you can use a single carrier oil! I like to keep essential oil amount low to avoid the possibility of causing any reactions on the skin. Some essential oils are more irritating than others. For scalp cair I'd try rosemary oil, and for antiwrinkle and spots I'd like frankincesne essential oil

    • @officialamygalper

    I want to make a lotion, salve, and body oil. I got the dilution tool app. But what I’m confused about is when combining multiple essential oils do I need to split the amount of total drops between them or can I use that amount for each…

    • @HuheJass
      @HuheJass 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That depends on the oils-
      However yes, that typically means the total amount of ALL essential oils combined should not exceed, in general, 5% of the blend. (Less for children and elderly, around 2%)
      Where it depends is the oils themselves, things like ginger, cinnamon, black/green pepper should always be heavily diluted. Whereas lavender and frankincense can almost be used by themselves / ‘neat’. So in an expert sense- it heavily depends on the oils used.
      However in general you should always be careful when the total % of essential oils approaches, or goes over, 5% of the end product. (If you find you need more strength than the 5% dilution look into infusing the herbs with your desired effects directly into the oil portion of your blend before you add your essential oils. I find a combination of infused herbs and essential oils is much more powerful than either method alone)

    • @officialamygalper
      @officialamygalper  ปีที่แล้ว

      for 100 ml container on the scalp I would use only 1% essential oil, so that would be only 1 ml total, or about 20 drops. So you can do a blend of those oils to equal 20 drops!...but I would not add more than 4 drops of peppermint into the blend. Make lavender the highest amount.
