My lips are sealed until I have a good response

I read this here somewhere. It was written by fennel fairy. I am following the same route but using different oils. I saved the part of it but can't find the link now. I wish you well too

Recipe of NBE massage oil:
6 tablespoons of carrier oil: Preferably a mixture of Avocado oil, Soy bean oil and Emu oil.
Add an individually chosen amount of fenugreek powder to the carrier oil and leave for 3 to 5 days in a closed bottle before adding essential oils.
Then add:
10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil since medical studies have found to be a very effective skin penetration enhancer.
10 to 15 drops of fennel essential oil because of it’s estrogenic properties and likeness to mix well with, and help to transport the phytoestrogens from the added fenugreek capsules.
Shake bottle. Use within a week for maximum freshness and potency. Essential oils are volatile and evaporate easily, make sure to keep the top on the bottle.
Do not use more than 25 drops of essential oil with 6 tablespoons of carrier oil to avoid skin irritation.
Use a weekly body scrub (exfoliator) to ensure maximum penetration. And take a warm shower or bath before application of massage oil if possible.
Here is a few notes I picked up on oils for massage.
Safflower Oil
Safflower is easily absorbed but is quick to go rancid; users can expect a shelf life of 3 to 6 Months with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight).
Soya Bean Oil
Soya Bean is well absorbed and, as we all know, phytoestrogenic.
Soya Bean Oil is slow to go rancid; a shelf life of 6 Months to 1 Year if stored cool, and out of direct sunlight.
However, if it is just massage oil you need and don't plan to mix herbs into it, I'd recommend the soy bean oil.
