Oil Advice

[Me Fang You]

Hi there and thanks for reading my note,

Hi to everyone as I am knew also and glad to be here as a member

I am currently studying aromatherapy and have came accross two questions I am unsure how to answer really. I am at the point where I look into base notes, top notes and middle notes.

I need help with 'when I would be most likely to include peppermint oil in my combination'. I only know the therapeutic properties of peppermint oil but do not know how to answer this one.

I also had to know what I would use for a client suffering with acne and the reason for my choice. I researched and found information and stated that for a client with acne I would use Juniper, Lemon, Cedarwood to regulate sebum production and purify the blood. I would also use Lavender and Geranium as they have healing properties and Chamomile to reduce any inflammation.

Can anyone correct me with the above as I am unsure wither my answers could be improved or changed as they may be incorrect.

Thanks

Hi there again,

I am at a loss here how to answer this one?? I am getting all muddled up with various oils i think and what should be the basic answer to the question.
The question was what would i use with a client suffering from acne and describe reason for my choice.....

We were studying top notes, middle notes ect and I only have Lemongrass Pertigrain as a top note, Chamomile, Camphor, Juniper and Lavender as a middle note then Cedarwood as the base note.

As i said i am unsure how to even answer this one and going stir crazy here...... can anyone help me out *sobs*

thanks
Adnachiel

Don't sob!

Firstly, don't get in a state about top notes, middle etc. The way to do it is to decide which therapeutic qualities you are looking for, then decide which oils fulfil those properties. Then decide how you are going to blend them.

Generally, there is no wrong answer.

Are they the only oils you've studied? They seem like quite a peculiar selection!
