DIY Recipes For Essential Oil Roller Bottles
One of the most amazing things about essential oils is their ability to solve common everyday ailments naturally as an alternative to over-the-counter solutions. Many of the items in your medicine cabinet that are used to pain relief, treating cuts and wounds, promoting sleep and helping digestion can actually be replaced with a few drops of the right essential oils.
All that being said, if you’re a regular oil user, you’ll know just how potent and powerful they can be. That is why we always recommend diluting them with carrier oils in roller bottles if you plan on using your essential oils topically. And that’s what we’re talking about in this blog post.
Roller bottles are just so handy! They make it easy to pre-make your mixtures and have them on hand and ready-to-go when you need them. When something aches or needs to be treated, your roller blends will be ready to be applied to the wrists, neck, belly, feet and more!
An Important Note...
By diluting your essential oils you are not diluting the effectiveness of the oil. Instead, you are doing a few very important things…
1. Making the most of your essential oils!
Essential oils are volatile, which means that they evaporate very quickly. Carrier oils do not evaporate. In addition, essential oils can cause sensitivity when applied undiluted directly to the skin. Carrier oils serve to dilute the essential oil before applying it topically (to your skin). The carrier oil acts as a base and “carries” the essential oil that is being mixed with it. This helps your essential oil cover more surface area, and better penetrate the surface of the skin for added benefits.
Carrier oils are relatively odorless, and do not compete with the natural aromas of your essential oils. This means that they also do not take away from the aromatherapy benefits of your essential oils.
2. Adding even MORE benefits to your skin!
When you dilute your essential oil with a carrier oil, your skin is then benefiting from the effects of the essential oil PLUS the effects of the carrier oil - which typically nourish and smooth the skin.
