There are many possibilities for synergies, even if not all combinations are good. It is always wise to find out about the effects of the chosen composition and the amount of oil to be taken before use.

To relieve headaches: peppermint, rosemary, marjoram, thyme, lavender...
Comment choisir une synergie de qualité ?
Synergies must be created according to certain principles to obtain balanced mixtures. This is why, unless you are a competent aromatherapist, it is advisable to buy your ready-made compositions whose dosages have been established by competent people.
To choose a superior quality composition there are several criteria to check.
The method of plant cultivation and the extraction process of the aromatic molecules must be mentioned to prove the absence of pesticides in the oil.
The mention "100% pure and 100% natural" assures the consumer that the oils have not been diluted or mixed with other non-natural products.
The presence of the chemotype of the plants used. This is the biochemical identity of the oils.
The presence of the H.E.B.B.D label (Botanically and Biochemically Defined Essential Oil) includes all these criteria.
