Essential oils are applied in one of two forms -- as singles or as
blends.
Single oils are derived from one kind of plant species.
And they can be used individually or consecutively in layers.
Examples of single oils are lavender, frankincense and eucalytpus.
Essential oil blends are specially
formulated combinations of oils.
Their purpose is to maximize the synergistic effect of various oil chemistries and frequencies.
Examples of blends are Believe, Gathering, and DiGize.
The question is sometimes asked, which is preferred... to use single oils or
blends?
The answer is... it depends.
Dr. David Stewart does a great job explaining this when he compares the application of essential oils to music.
In music, you have a variety of notes and chords and instruments... all providing different pitches, harmonics, and timbres.
With
this variety, you would never say one note or chord or instrument is better than another... because it depends on the sound or effect you want.
It works the same way with essential oils...
There are many single oils and blends... all with varying frequencies and effects.
Sometimes you might want to provide the kind of direct support
that comes from a strong single oil like peppermint or oregano.
Yet at other times you might be looking for the kind of synergistic effects that come from essential oil blends.
In the end, the oil you choose to use in any circumstance is frequently best decided by intuition and prayer.
And whatever you choose, the result can be like
soothing music to the body, mind, and soul.
For Your Best Life,
