Information about our Synergistic Essential Oil Blends

Synergy is the combining of two or more pure oils in such a manner that the combination is more than the sum of the parts. When oils are mixed together in the correct order and in the correct proportions, a chemical compound is created that is very particular and powerful; an increased potency can be achieved without the need to increase the dosage. For example, the anti-inflammatory properties of Chamomile are greatly increased by adding Lavender in the correct proportion. The interaction of particular essential oils upon each other gives dynamism to the blend, which could not be achieved by using the single oils on their own.

Our blends are never mixed with carrier oils in the bottle. The moment you mix an essential oil with a carrier oil, such as almond, the molecular structure of the essential oil begins to break down and the therapeutic properties are lost. To prevent this, we suggest that you mix them at the time of application.

Blended oils have the added advantage of being less likely to cause any kind of a reaction or problem. For example, there is quite a long list of cautions associated with the use of Clary Sage as a single. However, in a blend, there is rarely more than a very small percent of Clary Sage; you are able to achieve all the best effects off the Clary Sage, along with the benefits of the blended oils, with much less risk of side effects. This is a very great advantage for pregnant women, children, the elderly, or those who suffer from seizure disorders.
