How to Make Aromatherapy Oil for Relaxation

Aromatherapy oils are potent concoctions of essential oils and carrier oils. You can wear them as healing perfumes, use them as massage oils or drizzle them in a bath. A combination of oils can calm your nerves and promote relaxation.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 6-oz. dark glass bottle (sterilized)
• 2 tbsp. jojoba oil
• 3 tbsp. sweet almond oil
• 1 tsp. vitamin E oil
• 5 drops frankincense essential oil
• 5 drops petitgrain essential oil
• 20 drops lavender essential oil

1. Sterilize the bottle. Uncap it and the bottle and the cap into cool water and heat to boiling. Allow the water to boil for about 1 minute and then reduce the heat. Remove the bottle and cap when the water cools and place upside down to drain.

2. Mix the oils in your glass bottle. Add 2 tbsp. of jojoba oil, 3 tbsp. of sweet almond oil and 1 tsp. of vitamin E oil. For relaxation, add 5 drops of frankincense essential oil, 5 drops of petitgrain essential oil and 20 drops of lavender essential oil.

3. Seal the lid on the bottle and shake the oils lightly. Shake the bottle gently 2 or 3 times each day to blend the aromas.

Tips & Warnings

• Mix your aromatherapy oil in a 6-oz. sterilized dark glass bottle.
• Choose high quality, virgin and fresh essential oils when making aromatherapy oils. If all of your ingredients are fresh and you store the final oil in a cool, dark place, your oils should last for 18 months or more.
