Hello,

I am hoping to pick your brains and looking for some suggestions about using German chamomile!

I am doing my case studies for VTCT Aromatherapy and it is one of our compulsory oils we must use. I know it has some really good and useful properties but heck does it smell awful, lol! 😮

Any suggestions on oils any of you have found it blends well with to enhance the smell and make it palatable to use?

Many thanks 🙂

Hi pheonixstar,

I agree GC does have a particular smell 😀

I generally use it with geranium or lavender. It does depend what you are hoping to create with the blend.

I usually instinctively pick out oils to blend and then run them past the recipient to see how they respond before I go any further.

HTH

You might well find that GC is fairly well received by male clients.
Brilliant for hay fever - so definately good in blends with myrtle or cypress.

I like blending it with neroli, bergamot or petitgrain.

Try it as a facial mist in orange blossom - gorgeous!
