This is where it gets exciting! Now various old family recipes make
sense .... you have to peel back the traditions to find the foundation
in plain old organic chemistry!

Once you get the hang of the chemistry ... mixing is no longer just
carefully trying to copy an old recipe and wondering why it doesn't
quite work. If you know WHICH terpines have the magic -O-H off the
side and are small enough to do the job .... the spices, perfumes,
kitchenwitchery stuff all falls into place!

You won't believe the fragrances you can concoct with those EO's!
Just make certain you lay the base out in Tea Tree, Cajaput or
Ravensara, then decide which other EO you want to eclipse the
medicinal scent. Heavenly, glorious scents! And ... wonderful bug
repellants, especially since the local bats and frogs had fallen down
on the mosquito patrol! By the 4th day hennaeing, we were in a
skeeter-free zone!
