About Essential Oil Blends

By mixing 2 or more essential oils you are creating a chemical compound that is different from any of the individual parts and has a unique effect.

These synergistic blends are very particular and powerful.

A diffuser in an open work space, with a few drops from one of these recipes, is a stress buster of note.
