Homemade essential oil recipes can replace many, many store-bought products including bath and beauty products, medicine and first aid products, and home products like cleaners, air fresheners, and more.

Pretty much every homemade essential oil recipe I’ve tried has been super effective and easy. I mean really easy; like “add these ingredients to a container and shake to combine” easy. 🙂 So there’s really no reason not to give homemade essential oil recipes a try!

INGREDIENTS

10 drops lavender essential oil
8 drops vetiver essential oil
4 drops Idaho blue spruce essential oil
4 drops cedarwood essential oil 
Carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil or almond oil
Roller bottle*
Pipette or dropper

*For homemade essential oil recipes, whenever possible, opt for tinted glass containers. Tinted because light can cause essential oils to breakdown faster and glass because, overtime, essential oils can eat through plastic.

DIRECTIONS

1. Remove the roller from bottle.

2. Using a pipette, fill bottle 3/4 of the way with carrier oil.

3. Add essential oils.
Tip: Make sure there is a little empty space so that the ingredients can be mixed together.

4. Replace the roller and lid and shake the bottle to combine the ingredients.

5. Optional: Label this homemade essential oil recipe so you don’t forget what it is!
