I recently made a blend for myself that I would like to share. I used one ounce of Jojoba Oil for my carrier oil and blended in just a few drops of Jasmine, Bergamot, and Lavender Essential Oils.

The scent is wonderful and with my husband massaging in the oils into my back, the moisture alleviates the itching immediately and I drift into a deep, restorative slumber.
