Tips & Warnings
  • The best oils to use are natual, Bio-tone is my prefered brand, or you can use vegetable, corn, olive, almond, sunflower or jojba oil.
  • Check that your base oil does not have its own scent or that will change the outcome.
  • You can adjust the amounts of essential oil to your preference. I have used this on my clients for years and they love it.
  • When you are done just smell and feel the relaxation come over you. If you feel the need to add a few more drops of any of the essential please do so, make it your own.
  • If you are pregnant do not add lavender oil to your mixture.
  • Lavender is also a strong essential oil be careful not to add to much.
