• 2 tbsp. jojoba oil
• 1 tsp. vitamin E oil
• 15 drops lavender essential oil
• 10 drops rosemary essential oil
• 5 drops ginger essential oil

Instructions

1. Remove the lid from your bottle and place both in a small pot of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil for 1 full minute. Turn off the heat and remove the cap and bottle when the water has cooled. Let them dry upside down.

2. Pour 3 tbsp. of sweet almond oil, 2 tbsp. of jojoba oil and 1 tsp. of vitamin E oil into the bottle. Add 15 drops of lavender essential oil, 10 drops of rosemary essential oil and 5 drops of ginger essential oil.

3. Cap the bottle tightly and shake gently. For 3 days, shake the bottle 2 or 3 times daily. Use whenever needed to soothe arthritis pain.

Tips & Warnings

• This aromatherapy oil will warm your skin. You can increase or decrease the amount of ginger on your next batch to increase or decrease the heat.

• Select fresh essential oils and carrier oils. If you sterilize your equipment, choose fresh ingredients and store your oil in a cool dark place, it should keep for at least 18 months.
