主题：精油的调配顺序与度数

请问精油的调配一定要遵循中度 高度 低度的顺序吗？

温度？＝　＝不太懂

理论上是的，但有些低度油又可以转变为中度油

好高深哦 学习ING

哪些油是中度油？哪些又是高度？

Blending And Synergy

摘自 Yahoo!Club "AROMATHERAPY for everyone" 第12559篇文章

----------------------------------------------------------

Synergy the aim of the Aromatherapist is to produce a synergistic
blend of oils. A synergistic blend is a blend using 2 or more oils,
which complement each other and work together to enhance the overall
effect. The synergistic effect is created when the chemistry of
oils combine to produce a therapeutic effect greater than the
effects that could be achieved by using the oils individually. The
result is a more powerful combination of oils that are specific to
the individual.

More than 4 oils may provoke an antagonistic effect between the oils
and the client will not receive maximum benefit from the therapeutic
actions.

Keeping records Always keep a meticulous record of how you make up
blends for future reference. Your notes should include ingredients
and proportions, the date you started and completed the preparation,
processing procedures, comments, improvements to be made next time.
Label finished products with the date the product was made,
ingredients and instructions for use.

Blending Personal experience will tell which oils blend well with
each other, also, listening to experienced practitioners. Fragrant
oils (top) do not blend well together as they can over-power each
other; citrus oils blend well with floral oils; some oils are
overpowering and need to be masked within the blend. Essential oils
blend harmoniously with oils from the same family, for example:
Clary sage, Lavender, Rosemary (Labitae); Bergamot, Lemon(Rutaceae).
Client preference Client preference is also important and blends
need to be tested before using by allowing the client to smell the
oils in combination before a preparation is made. The best way to
test an aroma is to hold the opened bottles together and swirl them
under the nose. This causes the molecules to combine to simulate
the proposed blend.

Strong fragrances need to be used sparingly but can also be used to
mask other oils within a blend.

When mixing a blend, bear in mind:

Purpose of the blend

Therapeutic properties of the oils

Compatibility of the oils

Balance (top, middle, base)

Contraindications

Client preference


A well-balanced blend should use the following proportions of top :
middle : base:
TOP 30%
MIDDLE 50-60% ( most therapeutic effect)
BASE 10-20%
Dilution

Some oils have opposing qualities: for example, Lavender, which is
calming in small quantities, and stimulating in larger quantities.
Therefore it does not necessarily follow that greater the
concentration of oil, the greater the effect.

Oils should not be stored alongside homeopathic medicines as this
can affect their properties.

Oils that have been blended in carrier oil and kept cool and sealed
should last up to 3 months before deterioration. Adding 10%
wheatgerm oil to the carrier slows oxidation down and preserves the
blend for longer.

度数有什么区别?

度数即所谓『挥发性』，指的是物质与空气接触后消失的速度。挥发后的精油，便是我们所闻到的香气。每种精油的挥发速度皆有所不同，一般是以音符中的高音(top)、中音(middle)、低音(base)来区分，对于挥发度只能说是一个参考值，并没有固定的标准。
