When is it time to take the next step?

You’ve been playing around with essential oils for a little while now, found out that you absolutely LOVE them, and you want to do more—be creative and make magnificent aromatic and therapeutic masterpieces!

If this is where you find yourself right now, this is the perfect course to unleash your inner artistic healer. You will be easily guided through a solid thought process that will help you:

• Get the results you want.
• Save time and money by using your essential oils efficiently.
• Open the door to thinking like an herbalist.

I want to answer some of the questions that come up a lot, like:

“How many different oils can you safely use in creating a blend? Is there a recommended maximum for the best therapeutic results? Is there any specific issue that you should consider when matching certain oils together?“ ~ Carole R.

“Mostly I struggle with decisions. They [the oils] are all so wonderful, sometimes it is hard to choose. There are so many oils out there. I have also found that what works for someone will vary depending on the person. For example, my granddaughter will knock out with Ylang-Ylang and Lavender. But the boys not so much. I am still trying to find the sleep blend that works for them. Sometimes I also get overwhelmed because there are so many oils.” ~ Debra D.

“If I want to make a blend for cold symptoms, should I make it topical, or is there a better method to use? How can I figure out which blends are best to smell or ingest or apply on the body?” ~ Sue B.

Be confident in making your custom therapeutic blends. It’s a fun hobby, and if you work with oils professionally, it can provide a lucrative source of income.

CASE STUDIES

In addition to the topics listed above, I've provided case study examples to help you better understand the thought process involved in making a blend. I’ve chosen three common health issues that people deal with (anxiety, insomnia, and depression), and I walk you through a detailed thought process about how to approach each issue. I’ve also provided suggested essential oils for each of these issues. In addition, I’ve included a personalized case study about a PTSD blend made by one of my students.
