The word \u00ab Synergy \u00bb defines a phenomenon through which several factors act together <\/strong>in order to obtain a more favourable global effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n An aromatic synergy is therefore a combination of essential oils<\/strong> of which the formula will produce a better result to answer a precise problem<\/strong> than would be reached if using only single essential oils. Indeed, a mixture will produce several advantages:<\/p>\n All that remains then is to define what VO to use.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first criteria to consider is to know for what use you are making a synergy of essential oils:<\/p>\n EXAMPLE 1: \u201cSleeping\u201d synergy<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to \u00abfavour\u00a0\u00bb sleep, it will be necessary to act on the nervous system. The properties to consider:<\/p>\n EXAMPLE 2: \u201cMuscular pain\u201d\u00a0synergy<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to ease muscular pain, you will chose in preference essential oils with the following properties:<\/p>\n To start, chose 3 to 5 EOs following their molecular family whose properties are complementary and likely to answer your aimed objective.<\/p>\n For example, if you are trying to obtain an anti-inflammatory effect, you will begin with 2 essential oils containing aldehydes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The total percentage will be the sum of percentages of the number of EOs used in the synergy. To begin, the simplest thing to do is to use equal parts of each.<\/p>\n The measuring of the drops of EO to use will also depend on:<\/p>\n Certain type of usages are better suited than others,<\/strong> depending on the situation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why: <\/strong>in cases of infection of the ENT and respiratory routes, to favour relaxation or create a relaxing environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n How:<\/strong> a few drops in a diffuser, on a handkerchief or in an inhaler. The synergy does not need to be diluted in a VO.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n How: <\/strong>the synergy has to be diluted in a vegetable oil.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For a cutaneous usage, the dosage of essential oils will depend on the targeted organ and the usage<\/strong>. Traditionally, it is accepted to use the following dilutions:<\/p>\n There are 2 possible options:<\/p>\n – carry out an existing synergy, from an established formula made by an aromatherapist or found in a book on aromatherapy<\/p>\n – create your own personalised synergy by seeking documentation on internet sites or in reference books on the topic. To do this, you need to ask yourself a few questions before getting started<\/p>\n In general, ALWAYS chose an EO that you are familiar with and that you have used a lot, or at least an EO known for its low risk of toxicity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Choice of 3 adapted essential oils:<\/p>\n Usage<\/u>: no dilution, the mixture will be used in a diffuser or pure on a handkerchief. To be used in aerial diffusion.<\/p>\n Mixture<\/u>: pure (no dilution) in a 5ml bottle<\/p>\n Quantity of EO<\/u>: you divide the volume by the number of EOs, here 5ml \/ 3 = 1.7ml<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Roman chamomile<\/a> \u2013 Lavender<\/a> \u2013 Mandarin<\/a> : 43 drops of each<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Choice of 3 adapted essential oils:<\/p>\n Usage<\/u>: dilution at 10% in a vegetable oil for a skin application and a local massage<\/p>\n Mixture<\/u>: 10% in a 50ml bottle<\/p>\n Quantity of EO<\/u>: 50ml * 10% = 5ml<\/span> <\/strong>of EO. Here, there are 3 EOs (so, like above 5ml \/ 3 = 1.7ml)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Wintergreen<\/a> \u2013 Eucapyptus citriodora<\/a> \u2013 Helicrysum<\/a>: 43 drops each + complete with a VO to fill the bottle (= about 45ml) <\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Choice of 3 adapted essential oils:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By combining these different properties, this synergy will help getting rid of the pimples, will cleanse the skin and heal it.<\/p>\n Usage<\/u>: dilution\u00a0 at 1 % in a VO suitable for skin application<\/p>\n Mixture<\/u>: 1% in a 50ml bottle<\/p>\n Quantity of EOs<\/u>: 50ml * 1% = 0.5ml<\/span> of EO. There are 3 EOs (so, 0.5ml \/ 3 = 0.2ml)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Spike lavender<\/a> \u2013 Tea tree<\/a> \u2013 Rosemary<\/a> : 5 drops each<\/span> + complete with a VO to fill the bottle (= about 49.5ml) <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n -in a dark glass bottle (EOs are sensitive to ultraviolet rays. They modify their biochemical structure). Away from heat.<\/p>\n -keep the bottle tightly closed (EOs are very volatile and would progressively loose their properties).<\/p>\n By following these rules, you can keep your synergy of pure EOs for 1 year.<\/p>\n A synergy of mixed EOs and added VO can be kept in general for 6 months.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Synergy or combining of essential oils works wonders because it makes them more efficient when they work together.
