The term “Aromatherapy” technically refers to the use of essential oils and plant extracts to produce a therapeutic effect in a person. However, a lot of people enjoy blending essential oils simply because they like their fragrances.
Blending for the “aroma” created is a great idea, but you should always be aware of the therapeutic uses of the oils you want to use. Using oils that are contradictory to the person’s physical or emotional issues can produce a problematic response.
This is also true in blending essential oils for therapeutic use. Beginners should always use established recipes for the problems they’re trying to fix, and should not attempt to blend their own recipes until they have adequate experience. By the way, it’s also very important to remember that duplicating manufactured fragrances is not possible as manufacturers use artificial chemicals in their scents and perfumes.
