Soaps Creams & Things, uses organic essential oils when blending, making each blend even more potent. Why is a blend more potent? Simply put, when essential oils interact with one another, they can bring out superseding effects that cannot be reduced to any individual essential oil. 
 
In aromatherapy, this phenomenon is known as 'synergy'. This ‘synergy’ is a harmonic sound of music that produces peace, harmony, happiness, excitement, and a balance that only our brains can hear.
 
Uses:
Use as a mouth wash, one drop to a quarter of a cup water
Coughs are calmer when gaggling
Cleans dishes and laundry, a drop in water
Hand sanitizer; mix one cup vinegar to 5 drops of Thieves oil
 
In short, blending oils is like creating music, it takes more than one note to have an orchestra. Oils are more powerful and last longer because of the protection that each essential oil has, from oxidation to losing their strength.
