The essential oils can be used in various methods, so the best way to approach self-defense is to make up a blend of essential oils in a bottle, and then take the drops you need for each method of use when required. Kept undiluted in this way, they will remain active for a much longer time than if diluted. You can multiply the number of drops, but keep the proportions the same:
Antibacterial blend 1
| Ravensara | 10 drops |
| Eucalyptus radiata | 8 drops |
| Niaouli | 5 drops |
| Ginger | 10 drops |
| Thyme | 4 drops |
| Lemongrass | 3 drops |
Antibacterial blend 2
| Frankincense | 5 drops |
| Ho wood | 6 drops |
| Eucalyptus radiata | 8 drops |
| Lemon | 5 drops |
| Palmarosa | 6 drops |
Antibacterial blend 3
| Rosalina | 10 drops |
| Lavender | 8 drops |
| Geranium | 4 drops |
| Lemon | 6 drops |
| Palmarosa | 6 drops |
| Ravintsara | 10 drops |
Blends 2 and 3 could be added to unscented shower or bath products made using natural ingredients. For baths, add 4 drops of the blend to 1 teaspoon of carrier oil and 1 teaspoon of salt before adding to the water and dispersing well with your hand.
