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.
