I became interested in aromatherapy for it's therapeutic properties. When I would look for different essential oil blends, the books would suggest mixing with massage oils. Using the oils sounded so messy, so I hesitated using aromatherapy. On day I found this book that had different types of blends. One of them was mixing the essential oils with water into a spray bottle. I loved it! I used on of their recipes to make a spray that I took with me when I drove up to Boston from NJ. I sprayed my arm and smelled the whole ride there. By the time I arrived in Boston, I felt really wonderful!
I decided to mix my own recipes. When I created Orange Delight, I used oils that are for happiness and relaxation. I brought my blends to my chiropractic appointment one day. Dr. Kiechin liked the blends and wanted me to make some for him. That was the beginning. Different potions were inspired by different circumstances. Healing Skin was created from a request of a friend of mine. She was using Tea Tree oil to heal a skin irritation cased from wearing a cast. If you have smelled Tea Tree oil, you know it's very strong and you have to have the nose for it. I mixed some oils together that are know for skin conditions. I added some Calendula oil and water. My friend's doctor was amazed by the healing to her skin.
Lately, I have been back to using Orange Delight. I just spray some on my neck and breathe in.
Enjoy!
