Making blends for others

[Pompal 09.]

Hi

I wondered if someone could give me some advice on making up an oil blend for my MIL's gymnastics club. I have treated a few of them so far and occasionally she will ask if I can do a blend for such and such. Last week she wanted an oil that would ease overexercised muscles for a girl in particular so I made one of Grapseed oil, Roman Chamomile and Marjarom. I asked all the relevant questions for contra-indications etc and all was ok. However, now she wants me to make up a larger bottle that she can use on a few of them for their next competition. Does anyone not advise this? I wasn't 100% sure because I haven't seen them in person to check everything is ok. What I did think though, was to make up the blend and put the necessary precuations on the bottle and then before she used on on anyone, to check the list of contra-indications first.

How does it work when pre-blends are bought for instance from the internet? Would these come with precautions?

Thanks
Tracey

Hi Tracey

What about making a muscle rub with a bees wax base rather than an oil blend? The rub provides long term effect when continuously applied & you can write on the label which oils have been used & their perecentage & maybe advise that if people are unsure to patch test the cream first?

Hopefully that would be ok.

If you are qualified and insured in aromatherapy then there is no problem. As you say, put all the ingredients and the precautions on the bottle though.

Personally I find that peppermint and chamomile is fantastic for this and all my clients say it works brilliantly. I do use a lot of peppermint though and would be safer for you to use less in this case.

Make sure your insurance covers you, it is an add-on usually.
