I attended the 2.5 hour aromatherapy essential oil workshop, as the purpose to learn more about its health benefits and how to make the essential oil. Due to my school project to create sustainable business plan, I came up with the organic body care brand that consists body oil as a product. The work shop located at the Sith Sense Beauty at Fookhai building. The workshop class consists of small group 5-6 people. I’ve met the Chinese instructor and one translator staff.

The workshop starting with the powerpoint slides of essential oil health benefits and a bit of history of how it started. The essential oil are the extract from plants and herbs. It can be used for various benefits where it’s for aromatherapy, skincare, house cleaning products and etc. In terms of using as skincare, the essential oil helps for relieve stress, mood booster, nourish skin, increase blood circulation, anti-inflamed, protect from insects and many more. Different extracts has specific benefits such as basil it helps to anti-bacteria / inflammation, peppermint helps to relieve headache, and clove helps to increase blood circulation.

In next 1 hour of lesson, they started creating the essential oil workshop, where they gave us the high-concentrate essential oil and base oil from dōTERRA. Which instructor is the owner, and she teach us of how to make the essential oil blending. The steps of how to make is very easy, you prepared 1. The base oil (50 drops) : Coconut oil 2.High concentrate extracts (10 drops for each) : Clove, Winter green, Basil, Marjoram, Lemon grass, and Peppermint. In order to create the skincare essential oil you need to blend high concentrate extracts (that can irritate your skin if apply directly) with the based oil (Coconut oil, Olive oil, and more). It will help to reduce the extracts concentration. I blend all the extracts and base oil accordingly to the instruction, and get the final 15ml essential oil back home as above picture!.
