How to Make Aromatherapy Oil for Abrasions

Aromatherapy oils provide healing and relaxing fragrances, and they can help to heal minor abrasions. The carrier oils in the aromatherapy oil soothe, moisturize and promote the healing of wounds while essential oils fight infection, prevent scarring and speed healing.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 6-oz. dark glass bottle (sterilized)
• Small pot of water
• 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp. jojoba oil
• 1 tsp. vitamin E oil
• 20 drops lavender essential oil
• 10 drops tea tree oil
• Cotton balls

1. Sterilize your bottle. Uncap it and place the bottle and cap in a pot of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil for at least 1 full minute, and then turn off the heat. Allow the water to cool. Remove the jar and cap and let them drain and dry.

2. Measure into your sterilized bottle 3 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp. of jojoba oil and 1 tsp. of vitamin E. Add the healing element to your oils by measuring in 20 drops of lavender essential oil and 10 drops of tea tree oil.

3. Place the lid tightly on the jar and gently shake the bottle 2 or 3 times a day for 3 days before using. Store your oil in a cool, dark location, and it should last 18 months or more. To use, apply the oil to the skin, using a cotton ball 2 or 3 times daily until your abrasions heal. Use this oil after healing to reduce and heal scarring.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose fresh carrier oils when making aromatherapy oils, both for the healing benefits and to extend the shelf life. Whenever possible, select virgin or extra virgin oils that have been stored in dark glass bottles and keep them in a cool place.
