20 Awesome Essential Oil Recipes That'll Change Your Life ... (2024)

Did you know there are lots of essential oil recipes you can make yourself? Essential oils are amazing! Most of them smell fantastic, and they boast benefits to your body and mind. They can help you feel better while sick, boost your mood, help you sleep, and that is just a few of the awesome ways essential oils can be useful. While you can buy pre-made blends, it is often better to make the blends yourself. By making your own blends, you will know exactly which oils are going into the blend.

It should be noted that applying essential oils without a carrier is generally not recommended. There are many different carrier oils that can be used. The most common ones are almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil. There are other carrier oils that can be used; those are just some of the more common ones. When making an oil blend, essential oils should be mixed into a glass oil bottle and then topped off with a carrier oil. Be sure to only apply a small amount at first to test for sensitivity. If you’d rather not apply the mix to your skin, you can use the same recipes below (without the carrier oil) in a diffuser or humidifier. Here are some of the best essential oil recipes you can make yourself.
