Essential Oil Recipe Variations
- Orange offers a more sweet note and lemon is more uplifting.
- Black pepper creates a spicy warm effect in the blend, and patchouli offers a mellow, earthy note.
- Pine has a lighter spirit, and fir is a more heavy, woody aroma. Cedarwood could also be used. It has a woody aroma like fir.
- Instead of 15 drops of cinnamon, you could try 8 drops of cinnamon and 7 drops of clove. This will tone down the dominating cinnamon aroma.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
