Making an essential oil roll-on to take with you is a practical and convenient way to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of essential oils anytime, anywhere. Here are the steps to make your own roll-on:
Materials you will need:
- An empty roll-on bottle: You can find these bottles at health food stores or online. Make sure it is clean and sanitized before using it.
- Essential oils of your choice: Choose essential oils that you like or that have specific therapeutic properties you wish to obtain. For example, for relaxation you can use lavender and for energy you can use lemon.
- Carrier Oil: You will need a carrier oil to dilute essential oils before using them on your skin. You can use almond oil, jojoba oil, fractionated coconut oil, and more.
- Small funnel: It will help you pour the essential oils into the roll-on bottle more easily and without waste.
Steps to make the roll-on:
-
Clean and disinfect the roll-on bottle: Make sure the bottle is clean and sterilized before you start preparing the mixture.
-
Prepare the essential oil blend: In the roll-on bottle, add the drops of the essential oils you have chosen. You can use between 5 and 10 drops of essential oil in total, depending on the intensity you desire.
-
Fill the bottle with carrier oil: Fill the bottle almost to the top with the carrier oil. Leave a little space so you can fit the roll-on sphere in.
-
Attach the roll-on sphere: Insert the roll-on sphere into the bottle and make sure it is tight to prevent leaks.
-
Shake gently: Gently shake the bottle to thoroughly mix the essential oils with the carrier oil.
-
Label the jar: Label the jar with the name of the mixture and the date of preparation.
Done! You now have your very own essential oil roll-on to carry with you. You can apply it to your wrists, neck, temples, or any other part of your body where you wish to enjoy its aromatic and therapeutic benefits. Remember that essential oils are concentrated and should be used with care. Always perform a skin sensitivity test before applying the blend to larger areas.
