When blending oils always remember to perform a patch test. Use carrier oils like grapeseed or almond, and be sure to ask your client if they are allergic to nuts when using almond oils.
Play with the blends and prepare them with your client's best interests. They may have allergies or have negative reactions to some mixtures. Use carrier oil to dilute the mixture until the client is comfortable with that particular blend. To find out more visit my Aromatherapy Education website www.scentedaromatics.com
