Step 1
Measure 8 tsp. of grapeseed oil into a dark glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Grapeseed is an odorless oil base perfect for massage; however, safflower and almond oils are also great base oils.

Step 2
Add six drops of sandalwood essential oil to the bottle. Sandalwood is a natural skin moisturizer but also calms and soothes the mind and body. With a pleasant woody aroma, sandalwood has been used for thousands of years in incense, perfume and natural remedies.

Step 3
Place two drops of myrrh essential oil to the massage oil mixture. Myrrh is a healing oil that nourishes mature skin, helps to heal wounds and can relieve cold symptoms. A perfect blend with calming sandalwood, myrrh is said to help clear emotional blockages and alleviate mild depression.

Step 4
Add two drops of jasmine. Jasmine is not only a popular perfume fragrance, it also helps to heal dry, sensitive skin, helps treat muscles spasms and is a mild natural sedative, the perfect additive to your calming sandalwood massage oil.

Step 5
Close the bottle tightly and shake. Allow the mixture to settle for at least 12 hours before using, shaking the bottle gently before use.
