When blending essential oils, start with a small amount and adjust to your preference. Always dilute with a carrier oil for topical use and follow safety guidelines.

When blending essential oils, a common starting ratio is:

  • Top Note (like spearmint): 30%
  • Middle Note: 50%
  • Base Note: 20%

Here’s a simple guideline for a balanced blend:

  1. Top Note (Spearmint): 3 drops
  2. Middle Note (e.g., Lavender): 5 drops
  3. Base Note (e.g., Cedarwood): 2 drops

For more specific applications (like for diffusing or topical use), consider these ratios:

  • For Diffusion: A 2% dilution is common. For 10 mL of carrier oil or water, use about 6 drops of total essential oils (2 drops of spearmint, combined with other oils).
  • For Topical Use: A 1-2% dilution is recommended. For 10 mL of carrier oil, use 2-6 drops of total essential oils.

Adjust based on personal preference and desired effects. Always perform a patch test before applying to the skin.

And make your own blend. Mix or match!
