Pain isn't just one thing.
Headaches, neck tension, sore muscles, joint discomfort, inflammation, stress-related pain, and chronic pain patterns can all show up differently in the body.

This graphic gives you 8 acupoints that are commonly used for pain support, but each point has its own purpose, strengths, and ideal uses.

Over the next several days, I'll be breaking down each point individually:
• How to find it
• What types of pain it's best known for
• Why it's used in acupuncture
• Essential oil pairings
• Simple ways to use it at home

The graphic gives you the overview.
The deeper explanations, oil pairings, protocols, and practical applications will be shared inside my subscription group.

Which type of pain do you struggle with most? Headaches, neck tension, back pain, joint pain, inflammation, or stress-related pain?

Happy June - my birthday month 🥳

I love making my own blends 🌿✨ And once you understand this simple framework, you may never look at your oils the same way again.

Every blend has three layers, a concept borrowed from the world of perfumery, where scents are designed to unfold over time.

The same principle works perfectly for roller blends.

Why? Because each oil evaporates at a different rate (volatility):

🌿 Top notes evaporate first
🌸 Middle notes unfold more slowly
🌳 Base notes linger the longest

Together they create an opening, a heart and a lasting finish, like a beautifully composed piece of music.

🌿 TOP NOTES — approx. 30% (3 drops in a 10mL roller)

The first impression. Light, bright and uplifting — these are the oils you notice first.

Think: Lemon, Wild Orange, Peppermint, Bergamot, Grapefruit

🌸 MIDDLE NOTES — approx. 50% (5 drops)

The heart of the blend. These oils often carry the therapeutic intention — calm, balance, emotional support or comfort.

Think: Lavender, Geranium, Roman Chamomile, Rosemary, Cypress, Clary Sage

🌳 BASE NOTES — approx. 20% (2 drops)

The foundation. Rich and grounding oils that anchor the blend and help it last longer.

Think: Frankincense, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Myrrh, Copaiba, Sandalwood

✨ Simple formula for a 10mL roller:

3 drops top note
5 drops middle note
2 drops base note

Top up with Fractionated Coconut Oil.

That’s 10 drops total (~5% dilution) — suitable for adult pulse point use.

Blending isn’t about perfection 🌿

Start with one oil from each layer and experiment from there ✨
