How to Make Aromatherapy Oils

Aromatherapy oils are very easy to make and do wonders to relieve stress and improve your mood and health. Aromatherapy oils are made with essential plaint oils which are derived from various flowers and herbs. Aromatherapy oils can be added to a warm bath, massage oils or in room spray.

How to Make Aromatherapy Oils

1. Visit a natural or health food store. Choose different scents that appeal to you and will create the mood you are seeking. If you are looking for a scent that will relax the mind and relieve stress, lavender and chamomile work well. Citrus scents are uplifting and can give you the energy you need to get through the day. If you are unsure of which scent to choose, ask the clerk for assistance in picking the right scent for your needs.

2. Along with your essential oils, you will need to purchase a dark glass (amber or cobalt blue) bottle equipped with a dropper. The dark bottles will prevent sunlight from degrading the oils.

3. Place 25 drops of essential oil in the bottle. If you are blending oils to produce your own scent, add a little of each essential oil at a time until the desired fragrance is reached.

4. Fill the rest of the bottle with either grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil or olive oil.

5. Shake to blend.

6. You can use your aromatherapy oil in your bath, massage oil or diffuser. Enjoy!
