Essential Oil Foundations
Aromatics International / Natural Living Club live class
Originally recorded March 4, 2026
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, hello and welcome to our first workshop in our six-w weekek natural living makeover. My name is Jenny. I'm your host for today. I am so excited to have you here. We are about to have a lot of fun delving even deeper into some aromatherapy 101 foundations, which is the theme of this week. So, I want to give you a warm natural living makeover welcome to each and every one of you. I would love for you to introduce yourself in the comments here on chat. If you're watching the replay, thank you so much. You're such an important part of this community. We know not everyone can make it live. Um, those of you you who are live, we have some very special things to go over and we have some giveaways I can't wait to tell you all about. So, again, welcome to week one of our six week natural living makeover. And I want to dive in with some stuff. Uh, let's go ahead and I want to take you inside of our natural living makeover group. just kind of orientate you um orient you to where we are and what we're doing and how all of this works, right? Because there's a lot of new moving pieces. Um those of you who are um in our school community, it's a free group. It's six weeks. Please join us. It's we're having a lot of fun over here. Um this is what it looks like. It's hosted over at school. Um, we have different tabs up on top where you can interact and learn and find members to hang out with, which is pretty cool. Um, so here in community, this is where you can uh chat about different Let's approve this member. We want this person to be able to join us right now. Um, so this is where you can get in here and chat. We've got some um great conversations happening. Angie started um a thread looking at what is your favorite essential oil. She loves lime essential oil. if you're here, Angie. I also love lime essential oil. It smells so good. It's one of your uh recommended oils for this uh challenge. We're going to look at that in just a minute as well. Um here's where we did our Q&A replay uh for Monday. Every Monday, we're having a Q&A here inside of school. Every Wednesday is a live training where we're going to teach I'm going to teach essential oil information um aromatherapy information that relates to the theme of that particular week. And then u please introduce yourself. You can just um start conversations. You can ask questions. We're having a lot of fun. For example, um ply is one of our essential oils in our recommended supply kit. And um ply is distilled and comes from Thailand. And there's two different regions in Thailand that ply comes from. So um Ellie asked a question about a substitute for ply. And then we had the discussion um that kept going even further in terms of uh looking at the two different pies and how they're similar yet different. One is a little bit better for respiratory care and one is a little bit better for pain and inflammation. The one we have over here at aromatics is a little bit better for pain and inflammation. They both do both. So, it's just a great conver it's a great place to delve a little bit deeper in terms of the content we're going over and in terms of your essential oil knowledge. So, it's a great place for beginners and experts alike. And it's so much fun to come together and learn with each other, to forge those friendships, and to just look at how to create a natural living lifestyle, looking at um your own DIY products and how you can substitute um your own products for the storebought version, which again, when you're working with um products from nature, you're working with um you're just creating a more transformative experience for your mind, your body, your spirit, which is which is a lot of fun. So that's the community tab. Over here in the classroom tab is where you can find your course content for this six week experience. So our natural living week 1 foundations is now open. Every Sunday morning around 8 a.m. Mountain time. I'm going to open up the next course. So um as of March 8, which is this coming Sunday morning, I'll open up natural skincare, which is the mini course for week two. and then everyday wellness will unlock March 15 and so forth and so forth. So we're able to really digest the content together, go through it together and talk about it together. So we intentionally are unlocking it this way to create a really um just a very intentional experience around discussing these ideas. So um here's the calendar where um you can join each of our events. Uh, so for example, every Monday at 1 PM Eastern time, our Q&A happens right here and I'm posting the replays right inside of our school community. Um, for example, our replay, our first kickoff replay is right here. You can just play this event and, um, if you missed it or you want to revisit it, that's how you find that replay. Um, and then this is where on Wednesdays we're going to have all of our um, workshops, trainings that correspond with the theme of the week. And today is all about essential oil foundations. We've got some quiz questions from our lesson one content. Um, and we're going to do some a lot of giveaways today, which I'm really excited about. Here's where you can see different members. So, if you're really connecting with someone, you can chat with them inside of DM or whatever you'd like. Here is a map so you can see um if there's anyone in your in your local area who you might want to get together with, have share a coffee um or blend, do some blending in your kitchens. That would be a lot of fun, too. So, every Wednesday we are going to be doing leaderboard thank you prizes. So, our leaderboard um contributors, our members um are for example, we're going to be doing 7day the 7-day leaderboard um giveaway prizes every single Wednesday on our live event. So, I want to just um congratulate the first set of leaderboard winners. And again, these are folks who are spending a lot of time in the community interacting with other members who are just giving time to creating posts and to just being a part of the community. So, it's um our way of saying thank you for your time investment into that. And we really appreciate you. And the fun thing about a 7-day leaderboard is anyone can hop to the top of a 7-day leaderboard. Even if you're joining week three, maybe you're finding us in week three, but you can still participate in the leaderboard prizes every week. So, Elizabeth, Mia, Angie, Rebel Girl, Stacy, Katherine, Carrie, Ka, Kathy, and Wendy, all of you are getting $25 gift cards to go and spend at aromatics.com, which is um our other company where we have our recommended supply kit. Uh so, all of you are getting $25 gift cards. If you could please email us teamaromatics.com, um we can we will we will go ahead and um give you your $25 gift card as a thank you for your time and your energy just getting into this group. It takes a community to make this experience so very rich. And my very favorite part is the community piece where we can learn together and have fun hanging out. And so, thank you so much to all of our leaderboard winners for this week. I'm very excited about that. All right. Well, let's go ahead and um hop into our content for today. So, I'm going to pull up and and then we're going to have some more giveaways at the end of our time together. And one thing I want to tell you about um we are so excited about how many people we have in our group. So, we have just over 2,000 members going through this natural living experience together over the next six weeks. and we really want this to be a community outreach experience. So, we are doing um another giveaway that right after I'm done presenting, I'm going to create the post inside of our natural living makeover school community. Um and the post is going to be a giveaway post and it will run for over 24 hours. I'll choose our two giveaway um winners tomorrow evening, which is Thursday. um tomorrow evening and we're going to give away two complete natural living makeover kits. So, this is the recommended supply kit um for this makeover and we'll go over it in a little bit more detail um during our presentation today. So, we've got essential oils, we've got accessories, we've got hydrosols, um we've got uh clays, we have um all different uh different carriers, butters, we've got all different kinds of deliciousness right here that we're going to be working with over the next six weeks. So, we're going to give away two full kits. So, how you enter this giveaway is um I will I I'll create the post and I want you to set your goal um for our time together during this next six weeks. and we we've dabbled with that in the first intro post. So, I'll make sure the questions a little bit different so it's not repetitive. Um, and what you need to do is um invite a new person that is not yet in the community, whether it's a a family member, a friend. Um, and you can enter as many times as you invite new people. And you and this other person you invite need to comment on the post. Um, introduce your new friend to the community. and you and your new friend are each going to be getting a full kit um mailed out from aromatics.com. And we'll announce those winners at the end of the day tomorrow, which is Thursday, March 5. So, I'm going to check in on comments to see if I've said that clearly enough. So, if you have any additional questions about that, I will create the written post and I'll pin it to the top of our natural living school makeover. So, you and your new friend who's not yet a part of the natural living makeover are going to receive each a complete kit um for the natural living makeover experience, which is pretty awesome. Again, we really want to just um encourage community growth. We want to encourage um natural living from every level in terms of skin care, green cleaning, everyday wellness, um all of those things. So, we really want to get the word out that it's easy, it's fun, it's effective to use aromatherapy to create these DIY recipes that are powerful, effective, and our bodies are just so appreciative of not having those toxins, artificial ingredients, synthetic components. All of that stuff just builds up over time in our bodies and our our system just has a hard time harder and harder time processing. And this is why we have issues that kind of start to surface with hormone hormonal disruptions, um, with allergies, just general tiredness. All of the things we're bringing into our system that are synthetic and artificial just kind of slow our systems down. So, when you're able to make your own products and replace all of those toxics uh toxic ingredients and synthetics for your own DIY products that are again quick and easy to make, um our bodies, the environment is just such a better it's just such a better thing overall. So, we really again want to encourage you to invite friends, family, community members into our group. You can enter as many times. If you invite five friends and you introduce your new friend into the group and they make a little comment, you can enter five times. You can enter 30 times. You can enter 60 times. However many friends join the group and comment in that post, that's how many times you get to enter, which is pretty which is pretty fun. So, I'm really excited about that. You and your new friend um will get a full kit mailed out. And again, I will create that post um at as soon as I'm done with teaching today and then I will um I can't wait to meet new all of our new friends. So that's great. Okay. Um so yes, here's I'll just show you now so it's uh a little bit clear. If you go to the about tab in the natural living group, all you need to do is um go to the about tab, go to the URL, and just copy that and then text it out. You can text it, you can email it. Um, however you share with your friends. Um, that is how you get the word out. And I'll put that link that you need to text to your family member, your friend. Um, so they're they can um, get into the school community. And if you want to start inviting them now, that's very fun. We have three membership requests pending. I'm sure our team is going to get in there and approve those folks so they can join in the fun. Okay, so let's start our workshop. We're going to go into our week one foundations. Now, um, those of you who had an opportunity to go through this content, fantastic. We have a little quiz, um, that I want to go ahead and walk you through. And it's just a great way to, um, to test your knowledge and to just, it's fun to have a quiz. Um, it's fun for me to have a quiz whenever I'm learning something new because it just means that if I know the right answer, it means that I feel good about my learning experience. So, we wanted to throw in a quiz element into our time together. So, let's go ahead and throw our first question into the poll. Um, so it's going to pop up here any moment. Our first question is, and all of these are true and false quiz questions. So, our first question that just popped up, all plants produce essential oils. Is this true or false? And this again is coming from the content in our week one miniourse. All plants produce essential oils. True or false? And if you haven't yet gone through the course material, no problem. Just try your best to answer the questions anyway. Um because it's fun to play along. So, all plants produce essential oils. Okay, as you're putting in your vote, let's go back over to our course content. Um, and I'm not going to go through every single one of these things, but I do want to point out some highlights from the information here. Again, this should take you about 30 minutes to go through. We wanted to create a foundational um working knowledge base for all of us here in this community so that we're on the same page when it comes to essential oil work and our philosophy around essential oils. Now, the information from this miniourse um comes directly from our aroma head courses. If you don't know about aromahead, we are the largest online aroma therapy school. We have over half a million students who've gone through our courses or going through our courses all over the world since we went online in the early early, right? I think we I'm not sure exactly when we went online. We were in person in the 90s. We went online shortly into the 2000s. Since then, again, we've taken over 500,000 students through our courses. And the coursework for this particular makeover is coming directly from those foundational courses over at aromahad.com. So all of this information is just setting the groundwork so that we all have the same working information to use as we go through this experience together. What I love about the essential oil world over the last 20 years is it has just absolutely um exploded with interest and with passion. And the the challenging piece of that, what I love about that is folks are turning to essential oils and aroma therapy work for natural solutions. I love that piece of it. The danger is when it comes to um just having a passion for essential oils is passion doesn't always translate into quality education or a a quality approach to working with oils. For example, there are oils with significant safety concerns that if you don't use them um with in terms of the appropriate dilution or potentially it has a phototoxic reaction or it's just not a good oil are good choice for kids because of their sensitive systems. Every essential oil has its own safety um recommendations. And so when you know your oils, you you can reach for them with confidence that you're going to be doing um so much good with them and no harm. That is the place we want to get to as a group. And that's my dream for the essential oil world as a whole. Now, um, for decades now, we've had, um, essential oil companies who are so excited to get their oils out there that it's more their marketing departments are in charge of guidelines and education than their expert aroma therapists who they have on staff. So again, enthusiasm does not translate into expert level advice or even good advice at all. There's misinformation everywhere. So this is why I wanted to take week one and just to create a foundation al together so that we're all on the same page with recommended dilution guidelines with recommended um inhalation general guidelines. Um just developing more of an understanding that every single drop of essential oil comes from somewhere. It comes from an orchard. It comes from a forest. It comes from wildcrafting, intentional cultivation. It's a direct um it's a direct chain between a grower or a wildcfter or a cultivator directly through the distillation process um then mailed to us at Aromatics International and then shipped out to you. It's a very very intentional um chain. And so I want to bring awareness that these are plants that we need to make sure that we align ourselves with how to take care of our plant allies. We need to be plant allies and plant advocates because these are precious resources. We want to make sure that we are supporting growers who respect the sustainability process, who respect the land, who integrate with local communities in a way that's um beneficial for that economy of that local community. All of this stuff is in our foundations week one so that we're all on the same page when it comes to um a just helpful nourishing philosophy around how to work with our oils. Okay, I'm going to check in on your comments. Um because again, it's really it's just a it's a fantastic um way to just um just get all on the same page. All right, so Oh, that's good feedback. It took a little bit longer than 30 minutes to complete because you took notes. I love that feedback. I was estimating about 30 minutes. Um I'm trying to create many courses that take less than 30 minutes because I don't want it to be a lot of information. And I think that I want it to be really, really valuable, really targeted, um, and easy to go through because this is a fun makeover where we're just going to just have a lot of fun blending and creating together. Okay. All right. So, has everyone had a chance to answer their true or false um, question? >> We did end the poll. >> And we ended the poll. What were the results? How did that happen? >> 52% said false. >> Okay. >> 28% said true. We had 207 votes. >> 207 votes. That's fantastic. So, and the question, can you can you read it to me again, Devon, since I went away? >> All plants produce essential oils. True or false? >> All plants produce essential oils. True or false? Now, the answer to this is false. Not all plants produce essential oils, which is a fascinating thing to start to unpack and to start to get your u mind around. That was a brand new concept for me when I jumped into this world maybe 15 years ago. I just assumed um all plants created essential oils and they don't. There's small pockets of um essential oil on the plant that really serve a very specific use for that plant which is very cool. And often the use it serves for the plant, it serves for us in terms of our health and and wellness in terms of how we use the oil and how we approach um that particular oil. not across the board and that's not something to just go by 100% in a black and white way. That's just a general guideline. Um, a lot of expert level um aromatherapists love to approach blending through three different ways. Um, plant part, because each one of our oils come from a specific plant part, roots, stems, leaves, fruits, flowers, all of those things. um each plant part um that the oil comes from, we tend to think and feel intuitively that that oil um has a specific action. For example, oils that come from roots, they're often in terms of an emotional, energetic level, very grounding, very stabilizing. if you're going through something really profound in your life, whether it's really profound in a positive, joyous way or really profound in a really hard tough way, right? Um those are the oils you'd reach for to be very grounding. So, every plant part has a um a recommended use and it's so fascinating to learn about plant part. Now, those of you who have enjoyed this content um and you are over in our natural living club, which is um a a sister community over here on school, um inside of the classroom in our natural living club, I'll just take you over and show you just because I want you to make sure you're getting all of the resources available to you. um inside of our natural living club right here inside of the classroom. Um this is where you can go and get your free aroma therapy 101 gift. Now the the content I put together for our natural living makeover takes about 30 minutes. The content in this aromatherapy um 101 which is free for our natural living club members um those of you who are in the club already, you can join anytime. We would love to have you inside of this club. Um this is about a 3 to four hour course. So, it's getting more into this concept of how to blend by plant part, chemical component, aromatic note, really um giving you even more of a foundation. It's a $49 course over um at Aroma Head, which we were talking about earlier. Um it's free for all of our natural living club members. So, I just wanted you to have um even more uh resources available to you. All this uh course right here, how essential oils work. This is about a um a one and a half a 90-minute webinar that we put together comparing and contrasting two different types of lavender in terms of their chemistry, which means how they are similar and different in terms of their therapeutic use. So, we do a deep dive. Karen takes us through it. She does an amazing job looking at lavendula angustoapoglia and lavendula latapogia. Two different types of lavender that that do two very different types of things. also some things in common. So, those are some two those are two resources if you're really enjoying this content over in the natural living makeover. Those are two resources available to you that you can keep learning um in between uh when we when you have gone through a miniourse and you're waiting for the next one to unlock, you can go and take um adv advantage of those two free resources. So, I just wanted to make sure you knew about that. All right. So, let's go ahead and pop in our second question, our second quiz question. Devon's going to pop that in. Um, and again, if you are haven't had a chance to go through the content, just do your best to answer and you can go back through um over the next six weeks and go through the content at your own pace. All right. True or false? The way a plant is cultivated, harvested, and distilled impacts it its chemistry and therapeutic potential. Okay, let's do that again. The way a plant is cultivated, harvested, distilled impacts its uh chemistry and therapeutic potential. True or false? One of the most magical experiences of my entire life occurred as I was deciding to make the transition into um making aroma therapy my profession and my career. I was deciding if I wanted to go allin and do that. And um I was in uh the Alps of France. I was in Provence with my mom and we were with a group of aromatherapists learning clinical internal use of of our beautiful aromatherapy products. So working um with uh nurses with doctors with folks who had that expert level knowledge who wanted to work internally with the Sunils. This is the group we were with. We were with Re and she took us on a tour of a um a distillery where two individuals, they were a couple. They had a rose essential oil distillation um production. So we arrived early early early. So we were able to witness the process from picking the roses to distilling the roses. And it was misty. The mountains were beautiful. It was in the middle of the summer. It was absolutely gorgeous. We were with this group of people who could not love essential oil work more and were dedicating their lives to quality essential oil work and we're there and these two um farmers came in with just all of these roses and they put their roses into their copper um still and they distilled down that rose um into hydrosol and essential oil and it was just the aroma of that rose distillation. Um, I looked around and many of the aroma therapists there were just tearing up, just tears streaming down their their faces just to see number one the amount of effort it took for this um, couple to go and harvest all of those roses that morning. They'd been up for hours before we got there to take their roses, put them in the still. It takes a lot of roses to fill up a copper still. And then it takes the right amount of knowledge and experience to know how long to run that distillation process, how long to do the steam distillation so you get the best, highest quality essential rose essential oil possible. And it was just absolutely magic to watch that. And it it instilled inside of me a deep respect and regard for every single drop of essential oil and what it takes to produce every single drop of essential oil. It takes knowledge, dedication. Sometimes rains come. We had a we had one year where we couldn't get any um Roman chamomile or German chamomile out of England because rains came in, flooded the fields. They were not able to get in. They lost their chamomile crop and there was a chamomile shortage everywhere. Every company had a chamomile shortage because um we were all relying on this particular farm in in England. And we just everyone kept saying, "When are you going to get um German chamomile? When are you going to get Roman chamomile?" And there just wasn't going to be any for months and months and months, sometimes even a whole year because we're so dependent on weather patterns, the conditions of the soil, all of the environmental impact factors impact essential oil distillation. So the answer to this is most definitely. Um, the way a plant is cultivated, harvested, and distilled impacts the chemistry is definitely true. A resounding true. And if you ever have an opportunity to go and witness an essential oil distillation, please do. It is just one of the most incredible things. We take um we extensively film our we have a high altitude lavender field here in western Montana and we extensively try to film that every summer to give you a taste of what that distillation process is like. So, um, that's something that you can look forward to, um, this summer. And we are doing more and more and more trips with a with a camera to to kind of get in there and show you what the distillation process is like. Again, it is it is absolutely magical and it gives you such a profound respect for how all of this works, which is which is fantastic. All right, let's go ahead and put in our third quiz question. We have five quiz questions today and then we're going to do some blending. Our third quiz question. Buying ethically sourced ingredients supports fair trade and human dignity worldwide. True or false? Now, you don't necessarily have to have gone through the course material to know if that this is a true or false statement, but it's really important um to mention that not only do we want to keep in mind the uh plant journey and how our plants get to us and the quality experience um the the higher quality plant you're working with just like in anything um creates a higher quality essential oil. If you have, the same goes with um cooking with herbs in your kitchen. The the higher quality ingredients you're using, the better your food is going to taste, the more nutritious it's going to be. It's the same sort of thing when it when it comes to aromatherapy products. the fresher they are, the more vibrant they are. Not even the fresher they are, but the the more vibrant they are, because some oils over time, even though there is a recommended shelf life for each one of our oils, um if you're getting them towards the middle or end of that shelf life, it's a beautifully vibrant oil. Sometimes just like like pachuli for example um folks just go out of their way to find something called vintage pachuli because pichuli is one of those oils that the longer you let it age it's just like cheese or a fine wine the more um gorgeous it gets and more potent it gets aromatically. So um the better your ingredients are the better results you're going to get with your aromatherapy products. So, if you're using a tea tree oil or a ravensara or a black spruce or a sweet orange that's outside of that recommended shelf life or it's been sitting in the sun or it's coming from plants that were already tired to begin with and that's what a lot of monoculture does, right? It asks a lot of the land. Monoculture just means widespread farming. So when you go to an area or a region and it's just apples for days or it's lavender for days and days or it's whatever it is um that's monoculture. And the the benefit to that is so many more people get apples, so many more people get lavender oil, right? The downside to that is we're asking the earth to produce and to produce and to produce. There's never a break. um there's never just a a a period where the land can rest. So those plants are not necessarily ideal when they're being harvested because it's more of this monoculture um energy and approach to um creating plant material to then distill. So when you're working with plants that you know we have so many of our um of our distillers go out and they wildcraft. We have a distiller um who will actually um wait for branches to fall from certain trees um to then go and take those branches and that's what he uses to craft um different essential oil like our Engleman spruce producer for example. He doesn't want to go and wildcraft or cut down. He waits for a tree branch to fall or he waits for that particular angleman spruce to give of itself and then that's the branches that he's using to craft the oil which is a beautiful a beautiful process. Same with our paleo santo producer down in Ecuador. And um po santo can be on the sustainability watch list and it's really important to keep track of those oils that are potentially on the sustainability watch list. But when you have a producer like in Ecuador with the paleo santo who waits for trees to fall down and that's what they use to do the distillation, it's incredibly sustainable and then a beautiful process just dance with um the land and the plants and all of that. So it again really matters how a plant starts and it impacts the local community. I use the example of argan oil for Morocco. Um it's uh products like that where you have a local community, a co-op of people who go and um harvest, they produce, they do the whole process. It really um it really puts an economic um influx in a positive way into that local community. And so it's when you can create when you can find communities that rely on this process and you're able to support them, it's just a really it's a really it's a really important thing um in terms of just how we all relate to each other in terms of our global um awareness and consciousness, which is very cool. All right, so let's go ahead and um see what these results are. Right. And someone is mentioning adulteration um which um a lot of essential oil is adulterated. So it's really important to run what we call GCMS reports gas chromat chromatography mass spectrometry on all of our oils which um ethical essential oil companies do. It's very important to run tests on batch specific essential oils from one region. Um, so all of the um, GCMS reports for our um, supplies we recommend are available over at aromatics.com and um, we love blending by chemical component and if you go through that A101 course over inside of your natural living club or you can just go to aromahad.com and purchase the course and enroll as a student that works that works too. It's a great great thing um to be able to um, it's very reassuring when you know you're working with a product that's not adulterated. It's not cut with synthetics. For example, lavender langustapoglia, lavender, um, which is one of our oils in our recommended supplies. Um, it's rich in a component called linol, linol acetate and linol. And these are components that help inform us that the oils are going to do the thing we know that they're going to do, right? Um but linol is one of those components where you can have a synthetic linol and it is um very tempting for producers to pour in a synthetic linol. So it tests high in linol but it's not from the plant. It's not from the distillation process. It's an outside linolol that goes into that particular oil. And a lot of times when you're buying oils from the grocery store or um you're buying oils that are just on Amazon and you don't know much about the storyline of where those are coming from um then they're potentially adulterated. We don't know that. And that's why it's important to do the GCMS report. Um, and it's when you get into our larger companies, it's also um, again, I'm not going to say the oils are adulterated at all, but it's harder to keep track of these things. For example, um, if you have a really large company, that means you need to use many, many, many, many distillers to create one bottle of oil, right? So that means and the example I used in our miniourse is if you have lime oil from you have it from China, you have it from Italy, you have it from all over, right? Because there's a mass you need a lot of oil. Um you're taking all of those distillations and putting them all together. Now citrus oils typically are vibrant for two years. We don't know in that bottle of oil when all of those lime distillers produced their lime. So you might be getting um an eighth of your bottle that was produced 5 years ago. It's impossible to track and to keep um and to to know the journey of that oil. Which is why we like working with single origin producers where we can track the specific batch. It's a small batch from a producer let's say in Italy. We know exactly when it was produced. That starts the countdown timer for shelf life. we know, we can track the process and it's a very, very, very, very intentional way to making sure your product is vibrant and as beautiful as possible and it's going to get those results that you really want. So, there you go. All right, let's go to our next quiz question and then we're going to get to blending. We're almost there. Okay. True or false? True or false? Topical use is one of the most direct ways to experience the benefits of essential oils. Um, topical use is one of the most direct ways to experience the benefits of essential oils. And to to add on to this statement, um, topical use is one of the best ways to experience essential oils. This is um I can see a case for either way. I probably should have worded that even more um specifically. Um I was kind of getting what I'm getting to is looking and comparing and contrasting which is a discussion I'm about to start comparing and contrasting inhalation versus topical use. And they both have um the they both have benefits and you can use them both together, right? You can use an inhaler and you can use a topical massage blood. You don't have to choose one or the other. You can combine modalities when it comes to experiencing our gorgeous essential oils. Um, and it's really, really, really fascinating, especially if you're just getting into aromatherapy. It's really fascinating to start to develop more of a respect for our olfactory system. This is something that just took me quite a while to get to um, in that we're used to taking something in in terms of our western culture, right? We're used to taking ibuprofen. we're used to putting on something on our skin um that can help with a rash or whatever it is. You know, that's kind of our re reflex and our instinct is to do that. Um the olfactory system actually goes in and I put a whole we had a Q&A on Monday and I can't remember the name of this member. Um I can visualize I can see her face but I don't remember her name. She said, "Can you give us more guidelines around inhalation in terms of um how many drops to put on your your in an inhaler, how many drops to put in a diffuser, all of those things, right?" And I was like, "Absolutely, absolutely." So, I went went through and created a new tab called inhalation general guidelines. And it's important to point out that our olfactory system, you know, our sense of smell is so powerful. It's one of our senses. Our sense of smell is so powerful, especially on that emotional level. If you smell chocolate chip cookies in the oven, if you're walking along and you're like, I smell jasmine. You know, if you're in a park or you're, you know, just walking down the street wherever jasmine grows, those sorts of things elicit an immediate powerful emotional emotional reaction. So, we already know that our sense of smell can create that power, right? So when you're intentional about taking our essential oils, putting them in a diffuser, putting them in an inhaler, it's a powerful way to get that immediate reaction, right? And then again the um olfactory system, our lyic system in in our brain sends signals to our body that can help immediately with relaxing, with that pain and inflammation support, immediately with depression relief, with anxiety management, cold and flu, incredible. Um in our recipe one PDF, I have an inhaler recipe for cold and flu for kids and for adults. When I say kids, it's kids over five. Adults, a healthy adult that can um respond well to the dilution in there. If you have someone who's really going through an illness, you would want to use the kid version of that. Um so that particular inhaler has saved us so many times. Specifically, my mom and I um went on a sourcing trip to Greece last fall and we flew and flew and flew and flew and flew and flew and everyone around us were on airplanes for days. Everyone around us is coughing. They're sick. We took our cold and flu inhaler and we would smell it maybe once an hour or if someone by us was sick, we would smell it like once every 15 minutes and we didn't get sick because if you take those oils, those aromomas go in and just cleanse out your airways. And if you're going to get a cold or flu, it almost always starts in the sinuses. So that inhaler is your new magic inhaler to make sure you keep your cold and flu at bay either for yourself or the kiddos in your life. So I definitely wanted to put it in our recipe one inhaler. We're going to in our recipe one PDF. We're going to talk more about cold and flu support when we get to everyday wellness, which I believe is week three. Okay, so let's go back to our quiz. Um, topical use is one of the most direct ways to experience the benefit of our essential oils. And I can see why you would put true and I can see why you would put false. So, um, topical use is definitely incredibly powerful um, when it comes to our skin absorbing those oils and those um, beautiful chemical components, which is what we're looking for to get in and just start to get the job done. Inhalation is the fastest way to get the benefit of aromatherapy. Skin um topical application is the second fastest way. And to me, why not use both approaches if you're really looking to relieve a certain specific situation? And depending on the person you're blending for, what's going on with them, what you're your overall intention, um it just depends on if you want to start with topical or you want to start with inhalation. And that is where developing your knowledge, it's the art, the heart, and the science of learning aromatherapy that the more you allow yourself to lean into those things and the more you learn and become prepared, the better results you're going to get for specific situations. Every situation is a little bit different. Okay. So again, if you have more questions on this, please join our free makeover and go through that week one course. It's a fantastic way to set that foundation. We have a lot of good information in there, which is fantastic. Okay. Um, do we have our last question? >> Okay, our last quiz question for today. All right, here we go. Every essential oil is somewhat phototoxic. Okay, every essential oil is somewhat phototoxic. Now, if you don't know what phototoxic is, like I did not know when I started over 15 years ago, um phototoxic just means that an essential oil contains something called furanoirins. And that is a um fancy way of saying that it contains an ingredient that when you put it on your skin and you expose your skin to sunlight or you expose your skin to a tanning bed, which I personally don't think we should be going to tanning beds ever, but you choose your own life experience. Um when you go out into the sun, um the sun creates a reaction and it can create a really terrible um chemical burn on your skin. And so, um, when you're working with I don't want to give it away. When you're working with oils that can be phototoxic, it's really important to pay attention to dilution guidelines for those oils. For example, you can put up to a certain number of drops in a 1 oz carrier and you're not going to have a phototoxic reaction as long as you stay with under the recommended drops for that particular thing. Now, I don't know that I would test that out if I'm in Cabo or I don't know if I would test that out if I'm right on the equator. I don't think I would use I don't want to give it away. oils that are phototoxic. Um, I just wouldn't go there. I would use inhalation or I would put them in a diffuser. I probably wouldn't choose to go out into the sun, but you can go out into the sun as long as they are under a specific um they're within a specific dilution guideline. And we have those dilution guidelines um over at aromatics.com and in your aroma head courses in terms of how to blend with our phototoxic oils. All right, let's go ahead. I've already given away the answer. Let's go ahead and close that poll and let you know what the answer is. All right. So 90% of you were correct. Every essential oil is somewhat phototoxic. Is not true. There are um it's typically our citrus oils that are phototoxic, but not always. Sweet orange is never phototoxic. Um steamed distilled lime is not phototoxic. Correct, Karen? I can look it up right here as well. Coldressed lime is. So, it's really important to have this in your mind. Grapefruits are phototoxic. Um it's important to keep in mind the specific oil. Angelica root, oddly enough, is phototoxic. So, when you're learning how to blend and you're really wanting to pay attention to safety, let me show you how to do that. So, I'm over here, let's say, under Ravensara at aromatics.com, which is where your recommended supply list, it's our other company, aromatics.com. Um, we go and we source um our essential oils and aromatherapy products specifically from people we know and trust, right? We have relationships with every one of our producers and distillers, which is a beautiful thing. Karen specifically. So you can go to a product page or you can go into your aroma head courses on your data sheet um and you can go through and click on the uh tab safety and shelf life. Now aromatics.com and the aromahead institute were created around the same time way back in the '9s and they were created to support one another. So the aromahead institute is all of your aromatherapy courses. Aromatics international is all your aromatherapy supplies. Back then there were not you couldn't find essential oils readily. So these relationships many of them go back over 30 years in terms of the distillers we started finding way back then and have been building on and been adding to. So, all of these um essential oil distillers were selected and the oil specifically is such high quality because we wanted to support our students over at Aroma Head so that they had the best oils they could possibly find to support their work with their aromatherapy um clientele, their patients, their practice of aromatherapy. So, we have so much information on purpose on every single product page because it's designed with the student lens in mind. It's designed for the practitioner and it's designed for you as a clinical worker to be able to go in and to see exactly, for example, a quick breakdown of is it wildcrafted? The plant part, remember the plant part can inform the energetic application, the chemical families. It's also designed for the beginner. Okay. So, you can go down to the safety and shelf life. And for every oil you're working with when you first start off, if you don't know the safety, please review the safety because there there can be drug interactions. There can be phototoxic reactions. Um, for example, rainsara is something we're very very very careful with and barely use on kids under the age of 10. It needs to be a very specific um instance if we're going to do that. There's other oils like tea tree that can be an excellent substitute which we do use with our kids under the age of 10. Um when it comes to helping with cold and flu above the age of five, under the age of 10, for example, we would use a tea tree. Um this is where you can find all of the GCMS reports that we've been talking about. So every single batch is tested and that's how we know. And what's really fascinating looking at Ravensara is it will vary year to year depending on growing conditions, right? rainfall, sunlight, you know, maybe it was um harvested a week earlier than the following year. All of those things impact the exact percentage of our chemical um components. So, I'm going to show you what one what a GCMS report looks like. You can compare different years, which is right here, from wellcrafted from Madagascar, which is a pretty cool thing. So, this is what a GCMS report. Um, we've formatted it specifically for our aromatherapists that blend by chemical component, but you can look and you can see what it's rich in. Those of you who are in our um component blending course, your aromatherapy certification program, your essential oil specialist course, we teach you specifically how to blend by chemical component. I don't want to overwhelm any beginner here, but I do want you to see how far you can go with your learning journey in that you can start to learn what these chemical components do in terms of their researched studied therapeutic actions so that you're able to get better results with your oils when you start to get into this mindset of blending biochemical component which is pretty cool. Okay. Um, I want to get to blending and I know we are I want to keep these um trainings these workshops to about an hour and I do want to do more giveaways. So, we're going to do a couple of things now simultaneously. Um, we're going to go back here. Have we done our um we've done our five questions? Okay, we've done our quiz questions. So, this will be a very similar um flow every single week. Every Sunday morning, the mini course for that week will unlock. I would love for you to start going through that miniourse. Come over to the classroom tab. Um start learning. Go over to community. Start discussing. That happens on Sunday. On Monday is our live Q&A inside of school where you're please come. Um you're able to be on camera, ask questions, unmike, you're able to just it's more of an informal Q&A. On Wednesday, just like we're doing now, is our training where we have quiz questions. We go over the content. Um, and it's it's just a a way to go into more instruction around the theme of each week. Every Friday, we're gonna have our takeaway post where you're able to um put in your aha moments or post um a picture of the blends you're making. Um just interact with um the recipes of that week in a more personal, meaningful way on Fridays. So, that's the kind of rhythm to this six week makeover. And then our seventh week, we'll talk about next steps. Um, we'll look at what what your goals are in terms of where you want to go with your aromatherapy journey and we'll give you some different routes you can take to keep learning depending on what you want to learn. And then this week we'll conclude, this experience will conclude and I can't wait to see how much more confident and how much more knowledge you have at the end of these seven weeks together. So, thank you so much for being here. So, um, we're going to do three giveaways of um, $25 gift cards. You don't need to be in the makeover. You don't need to be in the natural living club.

And you can what I love about aromatherapy is even if you know nothing, you don't know anything, right? What you can do is follow the recipes we give you and get profound results right away. The more you know about aromatherapy, the more you know about how to blend by plant part, chemical component, aromatic note, you're able to customize and not just use the blends we're giving you or the recipes we're giving you. You're able to customize and get even more intentional results for yourself, your family, your friends, your clients. The more you know about all of these things, the more knowledge you invest, the more time you invest in your education. So, it's a very exciting thing. You can get again early results as a beginner and really profound results as a clinical worker. And there's a million there's a million levels between those two things, right? Beginner and clinical worker. So, I'm very excited that you're here and I'm very excited to support all of these goals I see coming in during this six week makeover. So, that's very exciting. All right. So, I'm going to let that run. We're going to make a blend together. So, I'm going to pull up my recipe PDF. Now, you can find your recipe um PDF I'm going to exit full screen here. I'm going to pull up the PDF. You can find this PDF um in many places, but most reliably, you can find it in the week one um resource uh tab right there in your miniourse. Um this is your foundational um again uh blends that we put together. So, this is the clear and courageous inhaler. We're not going to blend that together today. Um, but I wanted you to have this recipe because it is my most favorite recipe when it comes to keeping colds and flu at bay. And during this these next six weeks, I want to share with you my very favorite tips and tricks. So, this is one of my very favorite um this is my very favorite blend when it comes to an inhaler that really helps support your immune system that keeps your cold and flu at bay. Now, the earlier you are in avoiding getting sick by using an inhaler or if you're just getting sick, the earlier you are with using uh steam treatment, with with getting in there with your essential oils, drinking water, getting sleep, all of those things, the better your essential oils are going to be at keeping her cold and flu away. Um, the longer you wait, if you're just full-on sick, your inhaler is going to help, but not as much as if you were to use it at the beginning of your symptoms. So, I really wanted to make sure you had this beautiful inhaler recipe so that you could have it right on hand. Um, as we are um in this hemisphere right in the middle of cold and flu season, we have our little defender version. Um, which kids over the age of five, we this is the um these are the substitute substitute oils I recommend. Again, oils like our ravens are really rich in 188, which is what you're looking for when it comes to cold and flu relief and support and prevention. That specific chemical component is too much for our littles. So, we turn to oils that are appropriate for their systems and their bodies, right? A little bit goes a long way with kids. They're going to have an equally positive response to an oil like tea tree, which is also good for adults and cold and flu relief. So, we've reformulated it so it's kid-friendly and I wanted you to have this in your back pocket if you do have kids in your life um so that you're able to uh really enjoy the benefit of keeping that cold and flu out of your house as long as possible. Um, this roll-on relief um, inhaler is so good for easing muscle tension and calming inflammation. Um, and again, these oils are specifically selected to get the most positive result from keeping that pain and inflammation either um, more managed. Now, here's a here's a here's I want to set realistic expectations when it comes to pain and inflammation. If it's a minor pain, inflammation, you can have profound results with your oils. If it's a chronic big pain, big inflammation, you're going to get results that are still so helpful. But if you have someone in your life with chronic back pain, and you make this roll on for them, and you give it to them, they might think, "My back pains at like an eight out of 10. It's bad." maybe this um particular blend is going to be a is going to help take their pain from an eight to a six, which is huge, right? That's huge, huge, huge. But in their mind, if they're looking to go from an eight to a zero, this this may not be the route, right? It just may not be the route. So, we want to set realistic expectations on our oils, let them bloom, let them go. And we were talking about it, and many of you were um commenting on this. Sometimes our essential oil recipes are all we need to get the job done to go from an eight to a zero. If it's something that's shortterm or or um acute like like a migraine, you can use peppermint, you can use lavender, you can go from a 10 to a zero right away because it's right there versus that maybe someone has a broken back. This rollon is not going to help that broken back. you're going to need to do a more integrative approach working with their doctor, working with their prescription meds and using the rollon, right? So, you really need to use common sense and have that realistic expectation on what our oils can do in terms of being the star of the show or playing that supportive nurturing role coupling with um your Chinese medicine practitioner or your acupuncturist, your massage therapist, your western medicine doctor, whatever it is. Sometimes you need to go and have multiple modalities working together to create the result you're looking for. So just make sure you're keeping that in mind and not expecting your essential oils to be the cure for everything. It's really important that we bring them in when it's appropriate. It's always appropriate. Just making sure you're knowing whether they're the primary hero or they're that nurturing, supportive character. And both things are really important and that's what we're trying to go through and teach our students at Aroma head um to kind of that nuance and that and figuring that out which again is um comes down to that art and science of studying essential oil work. Okay. So what we're going to do together because it's we're at the top of the hour um we are going to make um this home reset blend. Now, we put together um this particular um stock blend with the intention that you can create this stock blend and diffuse this um stock blend in your diffuser all throughout the next six weeks, which is fabulous, right? Um I want to encourage you to play with this. So what you need is the total number of drops for a five mil is going to be around 100 typically for a 5 mil. Um so what you want to do is you can play with this and I want to show you how to play with this. So you can take your oils um you can take oils that are not on this list. Um you can take these exact oils and you can create your own stock blend of 100 drops that's perfect for you. Thank you so much. I did need some water. Devon can read my mind. Devon knows what I De I was like, "Well, there's no water in here." Um Karen and I were talking too. If you don't want to create a stock blend of 100 drops, um you can al also um if you look at the recipe that I have up right here, 25 drops of sweet orange, 20 drops of lavender, 20 drops of frankincense, 15 drops of black spruce, 10 drops of distilled lime, 10 drops of tea tree. Not only is this with all of these oils emotionally uplifting, it's so good for our respiratory, open up our our breathing, open up our airways, opening up our minds as we go through this new learning experience together. All of these oils are so good for all of those things. But maybe you want to really lean into sweet orange and distilled lime and tea tree. You can mix and match. You can just make sure you have a total of a hundred drops um in your specific blend. Now, one thing you can do, I'm going to take u black spruce. I'm going to take my sweet orange. I'll put these up here so you can kind of get a better sense of what we're doing. Um, black spruce, sweet orange. Now, I'm not going to I'm not going to blend my stock blend of 100 drops. What I'm going to do is show you if you want to do um a diffuser blend um the same recipe every day or however often you want to diffuse um to set your own intention because all of this is just creating a sanctuary around yourself and creating your home as your sanctuary. That's a big deal when it comes to um promoting a natural living lifestyle and and mindset, right? And so what this blend does is it allows you to be really intentional about what you want your inner sanctuary and out outer sanctuary, how you want it to feel and how you want it to go and the the goals you're putting in for your six weeks, where you want to go with your aromatherapy journey. You can um take that goal and really um say this blend represents this goal. Every time you use those oils in your diffuser, you're reinforcing and you're keeping in mind your big goal for yourself and your aromatherapy journey. So that's my intention with the home reset blend here is that it's a bigger nod to your bigger goal, right? And so every time you use it, I want you to remember your big picture goal and just take a minute to remind yourself of what you want to accomplish during these next six weeks together. Okay? So, let's keep pulling these oils. We've got our sweet orange. I want our lavender here. That's our cashmere lavender. I love that. We want our frankincense, which is right here. We want our black spruce, which I've already pulled. We want our distilled lime, which is right here. We want our tea tree. Let's grab our tea tree, which is going to be right here. Okay. So you can take all of these oils and you can do 25 drops of sweet orange, 20 drops of lavender, 20 drops of frankincense, 15 drops of black spruce, 10 drops of distilled lime, 10 drops of tea tree. You can also say, you know, I want to really lean into sweet orange. I want to really lean into lime and I want to really lean into lavender. What you can do is then do 33 drops of each of these, 33.3 drops of each of these into your 5 mil stock blend. And it just is an easy way where you don't have to um pour in or drop in three different oils, many times a day, many times over the six weeks. A stock blend is so helpful in that it's just pure essential oil. There's no carrier, there's no Hoba, there's nothing. It's just pure essential oil. you're able to take stock that stock blend and use it for your diffuser quickly and efficiently. So, um what you can do is you can take these oils and you can confirm or adjust the aroma. And this is what you would do. So, I love to take the caps off of my oils, smell them all together. That is such a beautiful blend. So, it just confirms to me my instinct that yeah, these three oils are what I want energetically, therapeutically. You also need an a blend that smells beautiful, which is why we teach our students to blend by aromatic note, top, middle, base, right? And all in between because if you have a blend that smells really good, you're going to use it more. If you have a blend that is therapeutically amazing, but it smells terrible, no one's going to use it, right? So, there's that. That's where that art comes in to crafting really beautiful smelling blends with that science piece with the chemical components with the chemistry with that plant part heart piece of our energetics. So that confirms to me that these three oils smell amazing. So I'm going to go I would go ahead and make up my stock blend. So you're able to customize if there's oils um that you want to make your own stock blend that are not in this home reset blend. Um you can absolutely do that. Now, if you want to, like I'm about to show you, if you want to just um create this as you go, you don't want to stock blend, you just want to create it as you go. I'm going to take my diffuser, fill it up to this max line. This is just tap water. There we go. Or right below, that's fine, too. Um, then I'm going to look at my recipe again. Instead of 25 drops, I'm going to put in just the first number of each of this ingredient list. So, I'm going to do two drops of sweet orange. Instead of 25, I'm just going to do two drops of sweet orange. If I can make sure I get two. Um, I'm going to do not 20, two drops of my lavender. Not 20. I'm going to do two drops of my frankincense. There we go. I'm going to do one drop of my black spruce. And do you see what I'm doing? I'm just doing using the first number of the two. I'm going to do uh one drop of my black spruce. I love black spruce so much. One drop of black spruce. I'm going to do one drop of distilled lime. If you're Angie, you might do more than that. We put in two. That's for you, Angie. One drop of my distilled lime. I'm going to cap this as I go. I like to put the caps on my bottles pretty quickly because I don't want the interaction of the air. Air is air is evil when it comes to your shelf life of your oils. You want to keep your oils in a cool, dark place. They're going to last longer. I like to put the caps on as soon as I can without being too um militant about it. And then I'm going to do one drop of tea tree. And this creates a quick and easy style of blending. There we go. And then all together it smells gorgeous. I love that so much. Every time you invite a group of essential oils together, they create their own synergy and their own aroma unique to that group. Right? So this group of oils represents Australia, Italy, Canada, Somaliad, India, another Italy. all of these groups of people that are wildcrafting, cultivating, growing, all of their efforts. Not only um are you again connecting that global community with all of these products, but the chemistry here, the ar the aroma of all of this is just absolutely profound and it smells beautiful. So, this is a if you want to just follow the recipe exactly, it is a fantastic home reset blend for your inner and outer sanctuary. If you want to customize it, I'm very curious as to what you I think I'll start another post inside of the the natural living makeover to see how you're customizing your home reset blend, your stock blend. I would just really love to see what you're coming up with in terms of your own unique um sanctuary blend for this. All right, this has been a packed packed hour. I'm so excited um to kick off.
