Are you looking for a heart-warming and original St Nicholas Day gift that will actually be used? With essential oils, you’re giving more than just a scent. You’re giving atmosphere, thoughtfulness and a little ritual for the home. Think of a winter blend for the diffuser, a gentle roll-on for the evening or a handmade scent frequency as a mindful gift. A gift that feels personal, homely and sensory is particularly fitting for St Nicholas’ Eve. At De Groene Linde, you’ll find 100% naturally pure essential oils, handmade blends and scent frequencies, locally bottled and packaged in Heiloo.

Would you like to make your own roll-on with essential oil? It all starts with the right dilution. In a roll-on for the skin, you don’t use lots of drops, but rather a gentle, careful dosage in a carrier oil. This ensures your blend remains gentle, pleasant to use and suitable for your skin. Below you’ll find a handy dilution chart for a 10 ml roll-on, plus tips on how to dilute and use essential oils safely.

Do you want to cleanse your crystals without damaging them? Then always choose a method that’s suitable for the stone. Water only works for some crystals, whilst incense, selenite or haematite are actually safer for delicate varieties. The text on our website specifies the suitable method for each stone. You can then recharge your crystal in moonlight, on rock crystal or on a selenite slab. Below, you can read exactly how to do this in a practical and gentle way.

Does your new bottle of essential oil smell different from the last one? That’s often perfectly normal. Essential oil is a natural product. Just like with tea, honey or wine, the scent, colour and intensity can vary slightly from batch to batch. An oil might smell a bit fresher, greener or more herbal one time, and warmer, rounder or sweeter the next.

Would you like to get started with aromatherapy, but are you feeling overwhelmed by all the bottles, diffusers and advice? If so, it helps to start small. With a few pure essential oils, a simple method of use and some basic knowledge, you’ll soon discover which scents feel pleasant as part of your daily routine.

Find out which carrier oil is best suited to essential oils. Guidelines for safe dilution, mixing ratios per 10 ml, and options for roll-on, massage, bath and skincare.

Before applying essential oils to the skin, you should always dilute them with one of our carrier oils, not with water. A practical guideline is often 1% for the face or sensitive skin and 2% for an adult’s body. Converted, this means that in 10 ml of carrier oil, you would use approximately 2 drops for the 1% ratio and 4 drops for the 2% ratio. Below, you can read about what to use for dilution, how to work out the proportions and what to bear in mind to ensure safe use.
