Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi My name is Kim and I'm very new to this list and all of these topics. I would like to " start " by making my own mixtures of Bath soaks and Hand scrubs. I really have a love of Eucalyptus, and would like to use it for soaking in the tub, especially with winter here I love it for sinuses and upper respiratory. Also, when I go to the salons, I see and smell LOTS of lovely hand scrubs.They all smell so wonderful I just dont know which to pick!! I would like to learn the " basic recipe " if you will, so I can make many different ones to try and also eventually make them as gifts etc. I dont know the rules of thumb for proportions of ingredierts either so any recomendations for books or web sites that help beginners with the basics would be greatly appreciated. I am truely starting from the beginning, and am very interested in learning about using EO for therapeutic uses as well. I have spent a lot of time reading & enjoying many of the previous posts. (and taking notes as well) I am glad to have found the List!! Thank-you Kim from Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take equal parts of sugar or salt and mix with equal part of almond oil. Add essential oils in the ratio of no more than 1 teaspoon to 1 cup of liquid. I use a blend of lavender, rose geranium and sweet orange that seems to be pleasant and acceptible to a great number of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
