Have adapted this particular recipe to fit into what my body needs and personal oil preferences since I deal with sensory processing issues every day living with Down Syndrome takes its toll on the mind and body
You are so welcome! 💜 Being new to essential oils is a wonderful time. We have a free Introduction to Essential Oils class, and it's is a great way to begin. It is a popular class at Aromahead Institute - such a great place to begin to build a foundation of knowledge with essential oils and aromatherapy.

I made a blend to diffuse about three days ago... 1 d Roman chamomile 3 d dark patchouli . I could add another d of chamomile or a d of blue tansy, but I think I’ll make this one too
I really love watching you and hearing your voice. It’s like an old friend. I’m wondering if you have a video for an inhaler for clearing your nose when your sick with a cold, like the old Vicks inhalers? Thank You in advance.
Thanks Chantelle! I am delighted to hear you are loving the tips we share! Thank you for joining our community here on Facebook! How about making half the recipe?
Hi Lorrain! For an earthy aroma, this one comes to mind: “Root of Relaxation” Body Oil with Vetiver Essential Oil - ruclips.net/video/uIiqK56MIcU/видео.html While I don't have a roller blend with Bergamot, I thought you might enjoy this calming inhaler: 6 drops Bergamot essential oil (Citrus bergamia) 7 drops Frankincense essential oil (Boswellia carterii) 2 drops Neroli essential oil (Citrus aurantium var. amara)
I've read that some people use Pink Himalayan salt in inhalers, sometimes with part of a wick, in order to get the benefit of inhaling the salt along with the essential oils. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this before I try it. Thanks!
Hi Andrea, I bought your book and I love it. Unfortunately I don’t have the exact oils as in your reciepes, can you suggest ways for me to look for subsitution oils? Thank you.
Hi A Yeung! The joy and beauty of essential oils is that there are often many many options for their uses and many alternatives if you don't have an oil in a recipe. Substitutions depend on the intention of a blend. There are lots of other considerations such as the issue at hand, therapeutic use, safety, chemistry, aroma, personal preference. We are always happy to offer suggestions for essential oil substitutions for recipes. Feel free to email me anytime for a substitution! andrea@aromahead.com
Hey Andrea, ordered your book a few days ago, and I think it’s coming in today 😊 Could you possibly steer me in the direction of where to purchase inhalers with the reusable wick sand the glass vials. Thank you!!!!!
Yay Connie! I am so excited about that, I can't wait to hear back from you, let me know how you enjoy my book!! I would be pleased to share resources - Aromatics carriers the Arome inhalers and they also sell spare cotton wicks that are organic: www.aromatics.com/products/arome-inhalers www.aromatics.com/products/cotton-wicks-organically-grown
I love patchouli and myrrh. Especially patchouli. I bought some patchouli herb, myrrh and frankincense resins. I want to make an incense with them. Maybe add some orange peel? Perhaps sweet orange EO. I don’t know another bright note. I LOVE rose Otto I cannot afford it though. I bought a rose blend with jojoba instead. One day I will buy rose EO. I wasn’t to get your book. I’m one who likes to personalize things that aren’t people. Not sure how to say what I mean there.
Hi Tracy! I love the idea of orange peel and sweet orange essential oil to add a bright note to you incense blend. I love making incense and on the Aromahead Blog I've shared many posts to inspire fun and creativity; I've done a quick search for you - I hope this helps: blog.aromahead.com/all?search=incense It was so fun to bring the essential oils to life with personalities and I have a feeling you're going to love my book!!! At the moment my book is on sale through Aromatics: www.aromatics.com/products/book-the-heart-of-aromatherapy
Teresa Sweezey Myrrh has a warm, resinous, spicy aroma, sometimes with a slight medicinal undertone. Frankincense is soft, woody and lemony with a balsamic note. They are a wonderful pair - the aroma is amazing! I love them together in a linen spray. You may enjoy trying this one that I call "Sleep with the Resins Linen Spray": 1 oz (30 ml) Frankincense Hydrosol (Boswellia carterii) 2 drops Frankincense essential oil (Boswellia carterii) 1 drop Myrrh essential oil (Commiphora myrrha)
nm reza you can use any rose you have. There are different types of extraction methods. Rose otto is steam distilled. There is a Rose Absolute where a solvent is used to extract the essential oil out of the plant material. Essential oils extracted by solvent are referred to as absolutes and they are highly concentrated There is also a Co2 extraction method. The CO2 process is really interesting and it produces beautiful extracts. I wrote a blog post about CO2 here on the Aromahead Blog: www.aromahead.com/blog/CO2Extracts Great question!!
How do you develop the ratio the number of drops to whichever carrier you're currently using am trying to come up with a spray with myrrh to cleanse or smudge negative and stagnant energy
Hi Angela! There are many approaches to blending. In the Introduction to Essential Oils class we begin blending in Lesson 4 on Making Products, and we walk you through the drop-by-drop technique. Blending aromas becomes a personal preference and over time you will learn to trust your instinct about aroma. So to begin, we start with reading the datasheets. Reading about the oils you are using each time you use them is a great way to gain and reinforce your knowledge and confidence with the oil. We use the drop by drop technique - marking each drop added on a piece of paper. Counting the drops this way is important so you can recreate the blends you love and so you keep track of the number of drops for the dilution rate you want to achieve. (Diluting Essential Oils is also reviewed in Lesson 4 as part of Making products.) You can begin with the base oil you selected - add 1 drop of that oil - and pause to smell the aroma and to think about the properties you’ve read. Then you add 1 drop of the next oil pausing to smell the newly created aroma and again, think about the properties you’ve read. We repeat this process until 1 drop of each oil we want to use has been added. We reflect on the aroma and then decide which aroma we'd like to have come forward. After 1 drop of each oil has been added, you continue the process adding 1 drop, counting, smelling and pausing to reflect. Over time you will learn to trust your instinct as the little voice inside you says “A little more …" or "a little less …”. It begins to feel right to add the oil. Approaching blending like this is a wonderful way to build your knowledge and confidence. In our Aromatherapy Certification Program, you learn essential oil chemistry - chemical families, the therapeutic properties and safety considerations, anatomy and physiology, and medicinal blending. As you understand all these properties, blending takes on a whole new meaning - you gain the knowledge to blend therapeutically with a full understanding of essential oil chemistry and when needed, you can confidently select an oil substitute based on similar chemical components. Enjoy blending! Hope you find this information informative! Let us know if we may assist and guide you further! 💜
patrick Kubik Pinion Pine (Pinus edulis) and Scotch Pine (Pinus sylvestris) are part of the Pinaceae. Both are wonderful to support the breath especially during cold and flu. I find Pinion Pine to be fresh, and piney like other conifers with soft hints of citrus that remind me of pineapple. Scotch Pine is warm & coniferous with resinous and balsamic notes.
Thank you as always Andrea. I will be trying this but I wanted to ask if you can recommend oils for hot flushes....I’m from the uk and thought I’d welcome them in our cold climate...but I’m dying!!! I’m a hot mess. Please help 🌱🌿🌺🌹
MyDaisy66 essential oils can be helpful offering emotional support and to reduce some uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flashes. An inhaler blend that is emotionally nourishing using uplifting oils such as Bergamot and Frankincense (or any oils that resonate with you) could be beneficial. Many women find relief from peppermint hydrosol sprayed on the back of their neck. Here’s an article from my blog post with some recipes for cooling mist sprays: blog.aromahead.com/2015/07/20/make-cooling-body-mist-summer
MyDaisy66 so many wonderful suggestions have been shared (thank you everyone!!). I would love to hear back - if you could let us know what you try and how it goes.
Have you ever considered selling roll-ons with these oils? Some of the recipies use so little of an oil, it doesn't make sense to buy an oil to use 1-2 drops. I would love this but can't justify buying the oils for so little use.

Mandy Kharod that makes me so happy! Do you have a favorite recipe from my book?
Hi Andrea, thank you for this lovely recipe. but what if my Rose oil is Rose absolute, how many drops should I use in this recipe!
Lana it would be the same number drops. Just 1 drop of Rose absolute will do it.

I need it now! I have your book and it is very special. What could be used instead of roman chamomile?
2010kh for this inhaler, I would suggest Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) or Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) as a substitute for Roman Chamomile.
