So New Flavor Has Been Made

I made one of the new flavors I have been working on with just measurements. The flavor I ended up making today was Bring Me A Dream, which if you remember was my sleep inducing/insomnia flavor. Which meant (since some of the EOs used had not been used yet) I had to pop some of the dropper caps again. I generally hate doing this, mostly because it is harder then it looks and takes a lot of energy to hold the bottle as still as possible while removing the dropper cap with a butter knife edge. Sometimes I do have those horrible moments (though I wear disposable gloves) where there is just a bit too much force and I am not wearing the correct clothes at the times for this to happen, so it spills just enough to hit my forearm. This time it was with the Valerian oil. I immediately rinsed off the oil so I didn't have a rash reaction. I have horribly sensitive skin where I can easily break out into rashes for various reasons. This time I did ok.

The rest of the mix happened without any issue.

Lavender: This made up a huge part of my essential oil mixture. It will hopefully lend the most flavor, it also is great for general relaxation.

Valerian: I hate the smell of this essential oil, it smells strongly of dirt and grass, which makes sense since it is harvested from the root of the plant. But it is also some of the strongest sedative and insomnia relieving essential oil that is available. Really hoping this helps in the mix.

Tea Tree: This is my general brightening flavor, I have realized strongly floral mixes are helped with a minty smell, citrusy smell, or something that is general invigorating. I used very little of the tea tree, so it should just lend enough flavor to lighten things, but it is also some that helps great with breathing.

I have two other oils that I added, but I have already mentioned what they do. Today I was asked a question from one of the important people in my life so I shall respond to that.

Frankincense- what does it do? Generally what do I use it for?

Frankincense should provide these benefits: I used Frankincense for the anti-inflammatory and general pain relief it provides, it also provides general uterine health and can help with healing internal wounds. Mental benefits, it is a sedative, and is great for helping with anxiety and insomnia. It also is good for respiratory issues, is considered good for oral and general skin health. I am not really sure if I ended up buying a good quality frankincense or not, may need to switch mine out with something else.

I am changing my current plant species of Frankincense for one that I think will provide more benefit. There are generally four species of Frankincense that are used as Essential Oils. The one I currently have is Frankincense Serrata, the one I want is Frankincense Frereana, the place I plan to buy it from is actually not as expensive as some of the shopped at Essential Oil places. The Frereana costs around 16.00 for a 10ml bottle, I don't honestly know if it will provide me with what I am looking for, but I honestly would rather try the $16.00 one before I decide to spend 80 or so dollars on one 5 ml for a type of Frankincense that is actually a blend of three types.

If the new Frankincense goes over well I will recommend the place I got from. Before then I will not give any info about it, due to not having tried it yet and not wanting to give out false information about a possibly good Essential Oil and then it ending up not being so awesome.
