- Hi, I'm Karen Williams,
and I'm an instructor at
the Aromahead Institute.
This blend that we're making today
is called Sweeten Those Emotions.
This blend is an amazing support
for helping to ease uncomfortable
and distressing emotions,
and bringing balance back
to our entire systems.
This is a welcome blend
to help calm those nerves.
So whether your emotional
unease is caused from stress,
tension, or just life,
these essential oils
will go a long way to helping
you feel like smiling.
I'm excited to show you how
to make an roller bottle blend
using jojoba wax, which acts like an oil.
These are so easy to
make, they're fun to use,
and they're so easy to put
into your pocket or your purse
and use them whenever you
need them throughout the day.
There's an oil in this
blend that you may not
be familiar with, and
it's called Fragonia.
Fragonia is Agonis fragrans,
and it comes from Australia.
So it's from a bush, and
it has a really sweet,
camphor-like, spicy scent
with hints of citrus.
So, to start our blend, let's add 10 mLs
into our roller bottle.
I actually put in more like 9
mLs, as it's a 10 mL bottle,
and we want plenty of room
to add our essential oils.
So, I'm using a graduated cylinder,
or you can pour the jojoba
wax directly into the bottle.
So there we go, blending in our jojoba
with our Fragonia.
Put two drops of Fragonia.
Mm, it does smell beautiful.
Our next oil that we will use is neroli.
Neroli is an oil that most of you
have used before, and it is distilled
from the blossoms of
the bitter orange tree.
So we'll add two drops of neroli.
There we go.
Mm, I can smell it already.
It is very nurturing for the heart,
it's calming, it's soothing for emotions,
and it helps to relax our nerves.
It's especially good when
you're trying to sleep,
or if you're, have some
restlessness going on,
it helps to calm that down.
Our third oil is cypress,
and cypress has a
beautiful aromatic profile.
It's smoky, balsamic, resinous,
and with a woodsy aroma.
It's great for encouraging circulation,
either physically or emotionally.
Also great at lung support,
so we can kind of layer
our blend a little bit.
It has an emotionally synergizing effect
with our other two oils,
and it has a profound effect
on our emotional body, encouraging us
to take a new direction, maybe
looking at where we're at,
and how we can change and
uplift those emotions.
So, now we have our Sweeten
Those Emotions blend.
So we put the top back on,
we give it a quick roll so that we blend
all the essential oils up into the jojoba,
and I'll use this two
or three times a day.
I like to apply it on my wrists,
rubbing it like that.
I many times apply it on my neck areas,
and sometimes even on my hand,
and then I'll rub it together,
(sniffing) and do a quick whiff of that.
