Aromatherapy Diffuser Blends

Aromatherapy Room Diffusers are a really big thing these days. If you like to create your own scents but do not know where to start, here are some recipes to give you some ideas.

It is should be noted that if the recipe does not state whether or not the oil is a fragrance or essential oil, the recipe would more or less call for an essential oil rather than a fragrance oil. Just make sure when you purchase your Essential Oil (EO) that you are purchasing from a reptutable source. There are clear signs where are not your EO is a true EO. First, EO's are most commonly found in amber glass bottles. Second, the pricing of EO's from the supplier should vary for the same quanity ie an 1 oz of lavender is going to cost differently than an 1 oz of rose. And this is because it takes more of the plant to make the same amount of oil. Those are the two major ones. There are many other tell tales signs.

I tried to look online for you, but I could not any instructions. But I did find a site that sells them. Maybe you can purchase one and take it apart?
