Essential Oils in Colour • Rosemary Caddy • Book Reviews
In her book, Aromatherapy: Essential Oils in Colour
For the advanced user of essential oils, the Caddy Classic Profiles allows you to visually connect particular chemical families with their presence in an essential oil. This is key safety information for the aromatherapist considering using essential oils high in ketones or phenols. The visual pie graph allows the user to see the breakdown of an oil’s therapeutic properties as stimulating, balancing and/or relaxing. This helps the aromatherapist make an informed decision regarding which essential oils to include in a blend.
And for those looking for some blending assistance, try Aromatherapy: The Essential Blending Guide

Thanks so much & safe blending.

Classic DewDrop Design • Khaki
Diffuser jewelry is a simple way to incorporate aromatherapy into the rhythm of your everyday.
‘Wear your Aromatherapy’ in style with one of our latest DewDrops designs. Our DewDrop Aromatherapy Glass Pendants are hand-blown by a local glass artist.
This glass piece is one-of-a-kind. This design is considered ‘classic’ because it is both in the shape of a ‘dewdrop’ and also has tiny ‘dewdrops’ embedded in the glass.
Like all of our DewDrops, this one has an opening at the bottom where an essential oil blend can be gently dispensed. You receive a special pipette to ‘load’ your DewDrop with one of our Turtle essential oil blends.
As the heat of your body gently warms the glass, so too does the essential oil blend gently diffuse.
This DewDrop also comes with a stainless steel chain – just to show it off a little bit more 🙂

Sleep & Aromatherapy Part 3
Dream•Weaver: Sleep Aid
Whether your challenges are falling asleep or staying asleep through the night, DreamWeaver may help. It is a carefully researched & developed blend of seven essential oils known to help with sleep, including Ylang Ylang, Lavender, and Canadian Balsam Fir.
We offer it as an undiluted blend, which means it is suitable for diffusion. Try Hubmar’s Classic Ultrasonic Nebulizer
As an undiluted blend, this also means it is at a 100% concentration level and should never be applied undiluted directly to the skin (despite what some Independent Distributors with an MLM recommend). In order to apply to the skin (or in a bath) you will need to blend DreamWeaver in a base (think carrier oil, distilled water, hydrosol or bath salts). You may add to an unscented lotion you already have on hand. Patch-test before use.
My rule-of-thumb in terms of safe use on skin is one drop of DreamWeaver to 5 ml (or 1 tsp) of base . This is the equivalent of a 1% concentration level.
For children, use 1 drop of DreamWaver to 15 ml of base (or 1 tbsp).
If you are pregnant or suffering from any health condition, please consult your health-care provider before using DreamWeaver or any essential oils.
