Gift giving can be such a rewarding experience. Finding that perfect present and seeing the pleased look on their face when they open it up, is such a great feeling. But what makes it even more special is when it is homemade and from the heart. Essential oils are the perfect tool for creating some amazing last-minute holiday gifts.

Of course, REVIVE has some thoughtful ready-made gifts that you can give to get someone in your life started on their essential oil journey. The quarterly subscription box is the gift that keeps on giving throughout the year. Or the starter kit with diffuser is a great bundle for a loved one that covers all the bases. But if you are looking to get a little bit creative and make your own natural gifts, here are some fun recipes.

 1. Beard Oil

Do you know a man who is working on growing that full and perfect beard? Why not put together a nice little gift that he will actually use… a fantastic smelling and nourishing beard oil. This blend of carrier oils and essential oils can actually help stimulate hair growth and condition the beard at the same time.  You can feel free to play around with the scent a bit, but here are some guidelines to go by.

–          2 ounce glass bottle

–          1 oz Sweet Almond Oil

–          1 oz Jojoba Oil 

–          5 drops of Castor Oil

–          8 drops Rosemary Essential Oil

–          5 drops Lavender Essential Oil

–          6 drops Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil

–          3 drops Lemongrass Essential Oil

 Add all ingredients to a small glass bowl and mix well. Use a funnel to pour the blend into the glass bottle. Create a little note of ingredients if desired and tie with a ribbon to the bottle neck for gifting.

 2. Stress Ball

Teachers can be hard to buy for. You may not always get to know them that well throughout the year, but many times you would like to offer them a small gift of thanks during the holidays. One thing that we can assume is that they carry a lot of stress. Here is a fun gift idea that you can actually create with your child to give to their teacher that will help them manage stress levels by actively squeezing the ball and inhaling the calming oils.

–          1 heavy duty balloon

–          A small funnel

–          About 1/2 Cup of Flour

–          10-15 drops of your favorite stress blend (we love REVIVE’s Stress Easy)

 Stretch the balloon a bit by blowing it up to about twice its original size. Wrap balloon tightly around the base of the funnel. In a glass bowl, combine flour and essential oils, stir together. Once it is well mixed, use a spoon to scoop flour into funnel until the balloon is as full as you like. Some people prefer them to be very round, while others like them to be more squishy. Tie the balloon tightly and cut the end off if desired.

 3. Relaxing Bubble Bath

This is such a luxurious gift idea that is perfect for any bath lover that you know. It’s actually a very easy recipe that creates a wonderfully soothing and useful bubble bath. If you can find a pretty glass bottle with a pump, it makes it look extra special.

–          A 10 or 12 oz glass bottle (a pump is helpful)

–          1 Cup Liquid Castile Soap

–          ¼ Cup Vegetable Glycerin (this helps create bubbles)

–          15 drops Lavender Essential Oil

–          20 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil

Mix all of the ingredients together in a glass bowl, then pour into the bottle and cap it. Feel free to add a label with instructions that say “Put 2-3 pumps of bubble bath directly into the stream of the warm bath water as the tub is filling, then sit back and enjoy a little R&R.”

 4. Candy Cane Soap

I bet you never thought you could make soap! It is so simple when you use a melt and pour base. There are many different varieties like goat’s milk, shea butter, or even aloe vera. When you make these adorable holiday soaps, no one will ever know that it was just a few easy steps.

• Silicone Mold of your choice (a holiday theme shape would be cute)
• 20 oz Melt and Pour Soap base of your choice
• 25 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
• 5 drops Vanilla Absolute
• A glass measuring cup with pour spout

Chop the soap base into chunks and place in measuring cup. Microwave per product directions then add in essential oils and stir gently. Pour into mold and cool until hardened. Once ready, wrap with brown craft paper or tie with a festive ribbon. 

 5. Muscle Relief Oil

Everyone you know has probably had soreness and muscle tightness at some point. Whether it’s from working out, stress, or unusual physical activity, it’s really nice to be able to get some natural relief. A DIY massage oil for muscle pain is a great gift idea for anyone on your list.

• 4oz Glass Bottle (a pump is helpful)
• 4 oz Fractionated Coconut Oil
• 30-40 drops Soothe Essential Oil Blend OR Sore No More Essential Oil Blend OR use recipe below
• 18 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil
• 15 drops Marjoram Essential Oil
• 8 drops Ginger Essential Oil

Combine all ingredients in a glass bowl, pour into bottle, and screw on pump. It’s as simple as that! Your recipient can apply to sore muscles as needed for mild pain relief. This thoughtful gift will definitely remind them of you when it makes them feel better after a long, hard day.

Stress is defined as a state of emotional or mental strain or tension resulting from demanding circumstances.  Hmm, sounds like everyday life in America. Unfortunately, stress has become a common or everyday occurrence for so many of us, including children! Plus, this emotional state of being often leads to physical ailments like headaches, high blood pressure, stomach pain, and even heart conditions. The best thing to do is to handle it as quickly as possible before it gets worse.

The good news is that there are many natural ways to combat stress and anxiety. The use of Essential Oils is one of those, and luckily REVIVE is here to help. Our Stress Easy Blend is a perfect option for when you are looking for one of those holistic aids. Here are 10 fun and easy ways to use your Stress Easy blend when you are in need of a little mental makeover.

1.       Diffuse, Diffuse, Diffuse

Inhaling Essential Oils is one of the easiest and fastest ways to use Aromatherapy. REVIVE has an amazing, high capacity ultrasonic diffuser that makes diffusing oils simple and efficient. When that wave of stress starts to come over you, just reach for your bottle of Stress Easy and add 5-7 drops of the Essential Oil Blend to 100ml of water and turn it on. Keep it running next to you while you read a book or do a few yoga poses to help you unwind after a long day. 

2. Take a Bath

Warm water, on its own, can be very relaxing. Climbing into a hot tub in a quiet bathroom can help you unplug and reset your mind for the next day. Why not add a little extra boost to that bath by using your natural stress relief oil in the water as well? Simply add about 8 drops of Stress Easy oil to 1 tablespoon of unscented body soap or carrier oil (this helps the Essential Oils disperse in the water better). Then mix it into about 1 cup of Epsom Salts and pour into your running stream of water as you fill your tub. The scent will envelop your whole body while you lie back in the bath and the Epsom Salt will also aid in releasing muscle tightness to boot.

3. Take Your Stress Relief With You

Stress Easy is such a versatile blend that can be used on its own in a DIY aromatherapy roller or in conjunction with other oils. To a clean REVIVE 10ml glass roller bottle, add 15 drops of Stress Easy in the bottom, then fill the rest of the way with a carrier oil of your choice. We love Fractionated Coconut Oil because it is not greasy and it has a long shelf life. Pop in the roller and screw the top on. Keep in your pocket or purse and apply as needed to help ease tension. Another fun idea for your roll-on is to use 9 drops of Stress Easy Oil with about 6 drops of Sweet Orange Oil. This blend is smooth, sweet, and reminiscent of a Creamsicle. The therapies of the Orange Oil mixed with the Stress Oil are compounded and you get that little extra mood boost that you sometimes need.

4. Sleep Aid

Stress Easy, as the name implies, is great for easing stress and anxiety. Often times being stressed out is a main cause of why you cannot get to sleep at night. If you want to amp up the relaxation power of this blend, you can add a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil with it as well. These 2 Oils together will help promote a feeling of calm and bring on a peaceful sleep. In your diffuser, put in 3 drops of the Stress Easy Blend and 2 drops of Lavender Oil with about a half of a cup of water. Turn on your REVIVE Oasis Diffuser and feel those troubles melt away as you catch some ZZZ’s.

5. Give a Stress Reducing Gift

I bet you know a ton of other people who are stressed and could use a little relaxation just like you! Why not share the love? Maybe you want to give a cute, homemade gift to a teacher or a neighbor. Just whip up a batch of this Stress Easy Sugar Scrub. From your local craft sore, you can purchase a glass jar with a lid. In a bowl, combine about 4 Tablespoons of REVIVE’s Fractionated Coconut Oil with 15-20 drops of Stress Easy Essential Oil, then mix in 1 Cup of Granulated Sugar. Once smooth, scoop into the glass jar and close tightly. Happily give the gift of stress relief and know that you helped make someone’s day.

6. Promote Calm in Your Workplace

Even if you love your job, work can definitely be a stressor in your life. Workplace stress is very common and often times it can affect your ability to do your best and complete necessary daily tasks. Tackling that negative feeling with a little help from a natural aid before it interferes with your performance is a great idea. Try this DIY stress-reducing room spray and soon you might find that everyone in the office is in a better mood.

Take a clean 4 oz spray bottle (glass is best), and add in ½ teaspoon of Stress Easy Essential Oil Blend and 1-2 teaspoons of witch hazel or vodka. Swirl them together in the bottom, then top with 3.5 oz of distilled or filtered water. Screw on the spray top, then shake gently and mist as needed to help manage stress levels at work.

7. Use for Muscle Tension

One of the main ingredients in Stress Easy is Copaiba Essential Oil. This resinous oil is an incredible anti-inflammatory and can help alleviate mild pain. When combined with other pain relieving oils, it packs a one-two punch against both stress and muscle tension. Plus, it smells like Root Beer! 

Next time your shoulders are tight from carrying the weight of the world, simply take a Tablespoon of unscented lotion and add 3 drops of Stress Easy with 3 drops of REVIVE’s Ache Away Essential Oil Blend. Mix together and apply, then feel the taut muscles begin to relax.

8. Help Your Children Unwind

It’s sad to say that more and more children are feeling the effects of stress every day. The demands put on kids to perform well in school, sports, activities, music, and friendships could be very overwhelming. Stress Easy is a gentle, safe blend that can also encourage your little ones to help let go of the day and ease them into a relaxing night. A great idea to help them calm down and to support a bonding experience is to give them a soothing foot massage. Take a palmful of unscented lotion and add about 3-4 drops of Stress Easy Blend to it. Mix well in your hands and apply to your child’s clean, bare feet. Light pressure on the ball of the foot in a circular motion can be very relaxing. In addition, you have some one on one time with them to help them talk through their day. 

9. Control Road Rage

Traffic! Slow drivers! Bad weather! These are all things that can really get to us when we are driving in our cars. Many of us will experience road rage at some point, and it would be better for everyone if we could just calm down. Here’s a thought, bring your Stress Easy Blend along for the ride. Take a simple cotton ball and put a few drops of your Stress Blend onto it. Place the scented ball in between the slats of your car vent so it sits in their tightly. As you drive with your heat or air on, it will gently diffuse the stress reducing aroma into your vehicle. Soon, you won’t even be thinking about traffic because your mind is at ease.

10. Reduce Symptoms of PMS

Ugh! It’s that time of the month again. You feel irritable and you have cramps. No worries, Stress Easy is here to help. As mentioned earlier, this blend is anti-inflammatory, which means it can be helpful with reducing menstrual cramps. Clary Sage Essential Oil is a natural pain reliever that is also known to promote hormonal balance and boost your mood. It is a super star oil for women’s issues. So, when you are in need, take 2 drops of Stress Easy and 1 drop of Clary Sage mixed into a carrier oil and apply it to your abdomen. Then sit back, relax, and feel those monthly woes fade away.

If you have sensitive skin, dilute the blend in some Fractioned Coconut Oil for safe topical application. Do not use near sensitive areas like eyes and inner ears.

Not all days are smooth-sailing; some days can leave most of us feeling overwhelmed. Feelings of anxiousness and tension during a high-stress situation are common.

Fresh Snow

To your diffuser add up to 100ml Water

2 drops Balsam Fir
2 drops Lavender
1 drop Vanilla
1 drop Peppermint

Whether you live in a part of the country that gets snow in the wintertime, or you do not get to experience those little frozen flakes, it still seems like snow is synonymous with the holidays.  There is a crisp, cool scent that wafts through the air after a freshly fallen snow. It is magical and mysterious. It is a scent that can easily put you back in time to a place where all of your favorite memories live… dressed up like a penguin, gathering with your friends, and sledding down that fluffy, white hill. Recreate that time and place in your own home with this blend.

Fireside Chat

In your diffuser, add up to 100ml Water

1 drop Cinnamon
1 drop Clove
3 drops Atlas Cedarwood
2 drops Cypress

Once you have come in from the snow, you might be looking to cuddle up in front of a warm fire. Essential Oils can produce that feeling of warmth for you, the same way those amber flames do. Deep, spicy scents like Clove and Cinnamon help to heat up your heart and soul. Woody oils like Cedarwood and Cypress are grounding and calming. As a bonus, these oils are great for supporting a healthy respiratory system.  Mixing them all together creates a blend that is sure to comfort you and induce feelings reminiscent of sitting by a cozy fire with your family and a hot cup of cocoa.

Spice Cookies

In your REVIVE diffuser, add up to 100ml Water

3 drops Vanilla
2 drops Sweet Orange
1 drop Ginger
1 drop Cinnamon

Mmmm! The smell of freshly baked cookies is definitely a favorite for most people, especially during the holidays. It is warm and sweet and a little spicy. It is incredibly welcoming, and a great smell to have in your home when company is on its way. We don’t always have the opportunity to bake up a fresh batch of cookies, but we certainly can recreate the scent with a few fragrant Essential Oils. Maybe you will be so inspired, that you just might bake up a batch anyway.

Three Wise Men

Add up to 100ml Water to your diffuser

2 drops Hyssop
2 drops Frankincense Sacra

Did you know that essential oils date back to biblical times and beyond? These precious oils are mentioned over 180 times in the Bible!  In fact, the three wise men actually brought gifts of Frankincense and Myrrh to baby Jesus. These referenced oils are very useful to help enhance feelings of spirituality.  Frankincense is amazing for regulating breathing and helping you feel rooted. Myrrh Essential Oil is earthy and relaxing, but can also encourage spiritual awakening. Hyssop is often referred to as the “Holy Herb” and is beneficial when needing purification.  All three of these biblical oils can create an uplifting Christmas blend that can help you feel more centered during the holidays.

Silent Night

Mix these calming oils together and use in your diffuser to create a serene space that can help your unwind and renew during this busy time of year.

The bright, fruity, and distinctly citrusy scent of Orange essential oils is unmissable. They are a favorite because the aroma can instantly improve mood and lift spirits. The essential oils from different types of oranges may seem like they are similar, but their aroma profile, chemical constituents, and appearance are very different. Here is a definite guide to all the orange essential oils:

These oranges belong to the same species as sweet oranges, i.e., Citrus Sinensis, and share much of the same properties. The indigenously grown wild oranges are uncultivated. They have more health benefits than the sweeter variety along with a bolder and tangier scent. Wild Orange Essential Oil has purifying and cleansing properties. You can also take it internally to support a healthy immune system.

As we mentioned earlier, sweet and wild oranges belong to the same species. Sweet oranges, however, are an orchard-grown variety. Sweet Orange Essential Oil is also much more popular owing to its sweeter and more ‘orangey’ scent. Its scent is energizing and uplifting, and the oil has properties that help maintain a healthy and glowing complexion.

Another member of the Citrus Sinensis family, blood orange is native to Sicily, Italy. The presence of anthocyanins, red flavonoid or antioxidant pigments, gives blood orange its distinctive red coloring. The sweet, tart scent of Blood Orange Essential Oil can help reduce feelings of anxiousness, support metabolic health, and also improve the health of your skin.

This orange belongs to the mandarin or the Citrus Reticulata family. Compared to other oranges, tangerine has a deeper orange hue. The sweet fruit is also easier to peel. They are a popular ingredient in desserts and spreads. Tangerine Essential Oil is a popular ingredient in baking, preparation of desserts, and in beverages like smoothies, teas, etc. Tangerine can help in maintaining immune system health.

The mandarin belongs to the family citrus reticulate family. Mandarin essential oil has a unique aroma profile; its scent is a complex blend of fruity and floral. Basically, the fruit from the mandarin tree yields two distinct essential oils: green mandarin essential oil and red mandarin essential oil.

• Green Mandarin:
  Mandarin trees are often pruned. Green and unripe fruit removed at this time yield the Green Mandarin Essential Oil. The distinct scent best described as fruity, floral, yet tart is great for creating a personal perfume. The uplifting aroma can get rid of foul odors and make the room smell fresh.

• Red Mandarin:
  The essential oil extracted from the rinds of the mature mandarin fruit is called Red Mandarin. The oil has a reddish appearance to it and has an intense fruity and floral aroma that is sweeter than Green Mandarin. When used in skincare products, it can help promote a clear and glowing complexion.

Now that you are acquainted with different types of orange essential oils, here are some ways you can use them:

• Diffuse Sweet Orange Essential Oil in the house in the morning for an energizing start to the day.
• Start your day by drinking a glass of water with a drop of Wild Orange Essential Oil added to it.
• Create a multipurpose cleaning spray by adding Blood Orange Essential Oil, apple cider vinegar, and water to a glass spray bottle.
• Add a drop of Tangerine Essential Oil to your morning smoothie to create a refreshing and energizing beverage.
• For relief from occasional nausea, deeply inhale the scent of Green Mandarin Essential Oil directly from the bottle.
• Make Red Mandarin a part of your skincare routine by adding a few drops to your favorite skincare products.

Did you know there is a more eco-friendly and economical way of doing your laundry? Introducing Revive Dryer Balls made from 100% New Zealand wool. Wool dryer balls are completely eco-friendly and safe to use. An added bonus is that, unlike dryer sheets, they are completely free of harmful chemicals.

Dryer balls replace dryer sheets in the laundry cycle. When thrown into the dryer, the dryer balls bounce around, circulating hot air through the clothes. This is a more efficient way of drying clothes. They also reduce drying time because the wool balls absorb moisture. This also helps stabilize humidity levels in the machine which in turn keeps your clothes static-free. It is also a natural fabric softener.

If you are looking for an efficient and green way of doing your daily chores, then you should consider dryer balls. Here are a few reasons to help you decide:

You Will Save Money:
Revive Dryer balls can be used over and over again. These high-quality laundry balls can replace the use of dryer sheets, fabric softeners, and fresheners, thus saving you even more money.

Energy Efficient: 
Did you know that more energy is consumed during the drying cycle than the washing cycle? However, by using a set of three dryer balls, the drying time can be reduced by up to 40% for a full load.

No Harmful Toxins: 
Revive Dryer Balls are made using 100% pure, certified, organic, and virgin wool from New Zealand. Plus, they can replace fabric softeners and fresheners which usually contain chemicals. They are perfectly safe for infants, children, and pregnant women.

They Are A Greener Option: 
The wool comes from happy, ethically-treated sheep, and it is environmentally friendly. Not only are they reusable, but they can also be composted once they wear out.

Dryer balls will leave your clothes soft and static-free, and combining them with REVIVE essential oils will leave them smelling even more fresh and clean, with natural and healthy benefits. Here are some ideas for essential oils to try!

BLENDS:

Reviving Your Laundry: The Tumble & Tidy blend is specifically created for use in the laundry containing 10 essential oils that have cleansing and purifying properties. The oils are also perfectly blended to create a gorgeous scent that will make your clothes smell heavenly.

Purifying and Cleansing: Combine one drop each of Tea Tree, Siberian Fir, Tangerine, and Basil

Protection Against the Elements:  Combine two drops of Revive Immunity Boost, and one drop of Grapefruit

SINGLE OILS

Floral Bouquets: Lavender, Jasmine Absolute, Rose Geranium, or Ylang Ylang Complete

4) An All-Natural Anti-Aging Facial Oil:

Commercially available anti-aging serums, lotions, and creams are brimming with chemicals and other synthetic compounds. Essential oils have several properties that are beneficial to skin health and maintenance. Instead of buying your mother store-bought anti-aging products, take some time to prepare this nourishing and moisturizing facial oil. It is packed with properties that will help reduce signs of aging like wrinkles, spots, crow lines, etc. and give your mother glowing, toned skin.

Recipe for Nourishing Facial Oil: Golden Jojoba Oil (2 tbsp.) + Rosehip Oil (1 ½ tbsp.) + Argan Oil (1 tbsp.) + Frankincense & Myrrh Blend (5 drops) + Patchouli Essential Oil (2 drops) + Lavender Essential Oil (2 drops) + YarPom Blend (2 drops)

Mix together sugar and essential oils, then slowly pour in Argan oil. Just add enough carrier oil to make the sugar stick together but it should not be too watery. You can increase the number of drops of oil if you want a stronger scent. You can even replace the essential oils with your favorites. Store in a glass jar.

7) Refreshing Aromatherapy Shower Steamers:

These easy to make aromatherapy shower steamers can be customized. These are relaxing, stimulating, and energizing. Just leave a disc at the farthest corner of the bathroom when taking a shower. They release scent every time water trickles over them.

Recipe: Baking soda (2 cups) +Water (1/2 cup) + Your Favorite Essential Oil or Blend (8 drops) + Silicone Molds

Mix all the ingredients together till they form a paste. Press the paste in the molds and even out the top using your finger or spatula. Place the mold in a baking pan and put in a preheated oven (350° F). Bake for 20 minutes at 350° F. Remove and let the cubes cool completely.

Our suggestions for Essential Oil Blends: Zen & Calming for a relaxation, Energy for energizing, and Cheerful for an uplifting scent.

8) Luxurious Hand Cream Recipe:

Our hands seldom get the pampering they deserve for all the hard work they do. Here is a recipe for a hand cream that is a perfect gift for your mom. It is rich and deeply moisturizing. Just make and put in a glass jar.

Recipe: Shea butter (1/4 cup) + Golden Jojoba Oil (1/8 cup) + Beeswax (1 tbsp.) + Geranium Essential oil (10 drops) + Frankincense Essential Oil (5 drops) + Vanilla Absolute (5 drops)

Use a double boiler to melt shea butter and beeswax. Once it has cooled, add the rest of the oils and mix together thoroughly. Pour this liquid into a small glass jar. It will eventually harden.

9) Moisturizing Lotion Bars:

Granted body lotions in their liquid form are extremely popular, but you should give lotion bars a try. They are easy to make, store, and carry around. More importantly, they are very moisturizing.

Recipe: Beeswax (2 oz.) + Coconut oil (2 oz.) + Shea butter (1 oz.) + Cocoa butter (1 oz.) + Lavender Essential Oil (10 drops) + Frankincense Essential Oil ( 5 drops)

Melt together beeswax, shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil in a double boiler. Remove from heat and stir in the essential oils. Pour this liquid in silicone molds. Let it cool. Remove and gift wrap once the bars are completely cool.

10) Refreshing Body Wash:

Unlike store bought body washes, this one is free of chemicals, gentle, and deeply cleansing. Here is how you make it:

Unscented castile soap (1/2 cup) + Aloe Vera gel (1/4 cup) + Grapeseed Carrier Oil (1/4 cup) + Distilled water (1/2 cup) + Lemongrass Essential Oil (10 drops) + Grapefruit (5 drops) + Ginger (5 drops)

Using Essential Oils:

• Diffusion:

  Did you try diffusing the essential oil in the house? If you weren’t particularly satisfied with the outcome, try this. We recommend essential oils be diffused in a nebulizer diffuser or an ultrasonic diffuser. Heat-based diffusers tend to degrade the essential oil by changing its constituents. You should instead try aromatherapy diffusers that don’t use heat.

• Weak scent:

  If you find the scent too weak, try increasing the number of drops you add to the diffuser. We recommend you start with 1-3 drops, but if you find this too mild, just increase the number of drops. Conversely, if you find the scent too strong, do the opposite (decrease the number of drops).

• Reaction:

  Did you use the essential oil on your skin and experienced an adverse reaction? Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts. As such, many of them should not be used neat on the skin. Only a few essential oils like Lavender can be used neat. Make sure you dilute the essential oil in a suitable carrier oil before applying it to the skin. We recommend a dilution ratio of 12 drops essential oil per fluid ounce of carrier oil.

• Ingestion:

  Did you know essential oils can help support a healthy digestive, respiratory, and immune systems? Essential oils like Lemon and Peppermint can be used to flavor teas or other beverages. You can also add a drop of Lemon essential oil to water in the morning. Besides this, you can also add a drop of essential oil like Frankincense to a veggie capsule and consume. Remember, not all essential oils are safe to consume, so do your research.

Other Nifty Ways of Using Essential Oils:

• Household cleaners:

  You can add a few drops to a spray bottle, fill it up with water, and use this liquid to clean countertops, surfaces, mirrors, cutting boards, etc.

• Create your signature perfume:

  You can make your own perfume by adding a few drops of pleasant-smelling essential oils, floral, citrusy or spicy, to a roll-on bottle. Top off with a carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond. You have your very own pocket perfume.

• Substitute in cooking:

  Essential oils derived from culinary spices and herbs can be used in place of that ingredient in recipes. Essential oils of Oregano, Lemon, Cinnamon, Clove, Rosemary, etc. can be used. However, you need very little. Just dip a toothpick in the oil and add to the recipe.

• Your own DIY skincare products:

  You can make your own moisturizers, facial oils, hair oils, etc. using essential oils. You can even add a few drops to your existing products to make them even more effective!

• Soothing soaks:

  Have a spa day…at home! Just mix a few drops of essential oil with Epsom salts and add to your bath or a foot bath. Feel your tiredness and soreness just melt away.

• Garbage bins:

  Add a few drops of citrusy or floral essential oil to a cotton ball and drop it in the garbage bin before putting in a new bag. This will keep it smelling fresh.

• Fresh smelling laundry:

  Add a few drops of essential oil to dryer sheets or dryer balls and add to the laundry cycle. Your clothes will smell amazing.

Roll On Essential Oil Bottles: For Quick and Easy Topical Application

A Few Reasons Why Roll On Essential Oil Bottles Are a Great Option:

1)    Extremely portable:

This is perhaps the biggest draw of the roll on bottles. If you have created a special essential oil blend and you want to carry it with you everywhere, then roll on bottles are the perfect solution. They are small, narrow, and light, and they can easily fit in your purse, clutch, or even your pocket.

2)    Store, carry and use essential oils with ease:

The amber colored bottles are perfect to store essential oils and blends. Essential oils should be stored in dark colored bottles to prevent them from losing their aromatic and therapeutic properties. The dark-colored glass also protects the oil from direct sunlight. Roll on bottles are a convenient option to store, carry, and use your favorite essential oils and blends.

3)    Quick and easy application:

Using roll-on bottles is extremely easy. All you need to do is add your oil or blend to the bottle and simple uncap and apply it to the skin. Just hold the roller ball on the skin and apply over the desired area. Re-apply whenever needed.

4)    Targeted application:

Another great thing about roll on bottles is that you can apply the oil to a specified part of the body with precision. Searing headache? Just use a roll on bottle containing a headache blend on temples and forehead. Want to smell good? Add your favorite blend of aromatic essential oils to a roll on and use on pulse points.

5)    No spillage and wastage:

The use of roll on bottles decreases wastage of oils. Since the roller ball on the bottle only dispenses very little oil at a time, there is no wastage. Also, the oil is only released when the roller ball moves across a solid surface. This means it won’t spill during usage or even during travel. You can easily control the amount of oil released.

6)    Great for beginners:

If you are just starting out with essential oils, then roll on bottles are a great option. Droppers may be a challenge for beginners so you can transfer your favorite essential oil or blend to a roll on bottle for easy application. You may also want to experiment with blending essential oils. The rolls on bottles are a handy option to store and use your creations.

7)    Create custom blends and perfumes:

Roll on bottles typically come in 10 or 15 ml sizes. The limited sizes offer you a chance to experiment with different essential oil and carrier oil combinations to create custom perfumes and blends. You don’t have to waste essential or carrier oils by creating blends in large quantities, especially when you are trying to create new scents. Simply, adjust the dilution ratios as per the roll on bottle size.

8)    Great option for personalized gifts:

Looking for stocking stuffers for Christmas or need to create personalized gifts for your friends and family? Just create a custom perfumed blend in bulk, add to a roll on bottles, add colorful labels and give your blend a cute name. Voila! You have created a truly personalized gift.

9)    Use for more than essential oils:

Who says you have to use roll on bottles for essential oil or blends only? You can try your hand at DIY cosmetics and add them to a roller bottle for easy use. Face serums, moisturizers, lip gloss, and eye gels are a few things you can make at home and store in a roll on bottles.

10)    Reuse, again and again:

Roll on bottles are reusable. When the product in the bottle is over, simply wash the bottle, dry, and reuse to store a new product. The glass bottle is pretty sturdy and with proper care and use, it could last a long time.

How to Use Roll On Essential Oil Bottles:

To create a blend with 5% dilution ration, use this basic formula: Add 10 drops of essential oil if your choice to the bottle and fill it up with a carrier oil.

Top 10 Ways to Use Essential Oils

Aromatically:

A pleasing and rich aroma greets you when you open a bottle of essential oil. The scent can stimulate parts of the limbic system connected to emotions, memory, and behavior; and physiological functions like heart rate and blood pressure. These centers in the brain may help calm emotions, uplift spirits, relieve anxiety, boost energy levels, and deodorize the surroundings. Of course, these are just a few of several benefits. A few ways to use essential oils aromatically:

1) Inhalation: This is perhaps the easiest method. You can start by deeply inhaling the scent from the bottle. Just uncap it and relish the aroma. You can also rub a drop or two between your palms, cup your hands around your nose, and breathe deeply.

2) Diffuser: Another way of using essential oils is through diffusion. Add 4-5 drops in an aromatherapy diffuser to slowly diffuse the scent throughout the room. You can place the diffusers in different areas of the house. Diffusers are the best way to enjoy your essential oils.

3) Jewelry: There are different types of essential oil bracelets and necklaces available. They are specially designed to hold and diffuse oils through the day. Available in several designs, they can be easily accessorized with different outfits. You simply add a drop or two to the jewelry before you wear it.

Topical Application:

You can also use essential oils by applying them directly to the skin. In fact, they are a popular ingredient in several commercially available cosmetic products and feature in many DIY projects. Essential oils offer localized benefits when applied to skin because they are quickly absorbed. Only some essential oils can be used neat, so make sure you read up on the oil before use. Dilute potent essential oils in a suitable carrier oil before using them on the skin. We recommend a dilution ratio of 12 drops of essential oils per fluid ounce (30ML) of carrier oil.

4) Prepare a blend: You can create a basic oil mix by adding essential oil to a carrier oil like coconut. You can create specific mixes depending on the application. For respiratory relief, use eucalyptus, peppermint, or rosemary mixed with fractionated coconut oil. You can rub this mix on the chest, back, nape, and soles of the feet.

5) Roll-on bottle: You can create a simple signature scent for yourself by blending two or more oils. Start with lavender. Add 10 drops of lavender to a roll-on bottle. Fill up the rest with a carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond. You can try creating more scents by mixing two or more essential oils.

6) Soothing Soak: A good way to de-stress after a long and tiring day is by relaxing in a warm bath. You can achieve this with essential oils like frankincense, lavender, or chamomile. Add 15-20 drops of oil to a cup of Epsom salts and add this to the water. Step in and enjoy a calming soak.

7) Facial oil: If you are looking for natural skin care and want to make your own beauty products at home, use essential oils. All you need to do is mix a skin-friendly oil like lavender, tea tree, geranium, or frankincense to a carrier oil like jojoba to create a facial oil. You can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to your existing skincare products.

8) Hair care: You can use essential oils like rosemary, cedarwood, or lavender to promote hair growth and scalp health. They may strengthen hair roots, arrest dandruff, reduce hair fall, and promote growth. Rosemary may have powerful effects on memory and recall. You can make a hair oil by mixing these with a carrier oil like coconut and using the mix for an invigorating head massage.

Internally:

Several essential oils come from plants that have culinary and medicinal benefits. When ingested, essential oils may help support cardiovascular, immune, and respiratory functions. They enter the bloodstream via the gastrointestinal tract and are then carried to different parts of the body and eventually excreted. Essential oils can be safely ingested if proper guidelines are followed. Always read the label for recommendations. When properly ingested, they can be beneficial for the body.

9) Cooking: You can safely substitute essential oils for specific herbs in recipes, for e.g. oregano or rosemary. We recommend you start with very small quantities. Dip a toothpick in the oil and add to the food. You can also flavor your tea by adding a drop of lemon or chamomile.

10) Supplements: Essential oils can also be taken in a veggie capsule to support respiratory, digestive and cardiovascular functions. Add a drop or two to a capsule and take. You can also add a drop to a glass of water or a small bowl of yogurt and consume.

Safety information:

Essential oils are concentrated and potent, use them with care and caution. Never use them on sensitive parts of your body like the eyes and the ear canal. Always consult a professional before using essential oils if you are taking medication for a pre-existing condition or if you are pregnant. Conduct a skin patch test on your wrist to check for sensitivity or reaction before applying topically.

Immunity Boost: 15 Ways to Use this Powerful Blend

Our List Of Thick Essential Oils And How To Use Them

Most essential oils are usually thin in viscosity, which means they are in a water-like liquid state, while some essential oils, like German chamomile, vetiver or patchouli, may be a bit thicker, but are still easy to use. However, some balsam, resin, absolute and other aromatic oils can be in a highly viscous or nearly solid form at room temperature.The molecular structure of these oils allows them to naturally preserve and prolong their aromatic properties and shelf life. This can also make them a bit harder to work with, as the drops will likely slowly ooze out of the bottle.

Get to know your essential oils

As we’ve previously mentioned, essential oils can be found in liquid, medium-viscous and thick form, depending on their molecular structure and room temperature. To ease your way of recognizing and using these oils, we’ve created a small list of medium-viscous and thick essential oils.

Medium-viscous essential oils:

–Vanilla

–Myrrh

–Copaiba

–Blue Tansy

-Atlas Cedarwood

Thick essential oils:

–Sandalwood

–Vetiver

–Patchouli

–Clary sage

–Blue Cypress

–Coffee

–Buddha Wood

Here are a few simple hacks to speed up the flow of these oils from the bottle

Warm the bottle between your palms

Heat the oil with your hands by rolling the bottle for 90 seconds, as this can help decreasing the oil’s viscosity and make the extraction much more easier.

Heat the bottle in bowl with warm water

Heating the bottle with the viscous oil in warm water until it reaches a desirable consistency can be of great help. Consider using mildly warm water for this process, as high temperatures can potentially destroy the fragile compounds of the oil. Simply place the closed bottle in a bowl full of warm water for a couple of minutes and remove the bottle from the bowl as soon as the oil reaches a workable form.

Nudge the bottle

Sometimes heating up the bottle won’t help, so you may consider tapping the bottom of the bottle as this can help nudge and easily release the oil.

Check the orifice reducer in the bottle

Our essential oils come with an orifice reducer with a central stem, which means that the stem is the air hole, while the hole between the two circles is the oil hole. To ease the flow of the viscous oils, find the oil hole between the two circles, position it under the air hole, tip the bottle on its side and slowly turn the bottle down (about 135 degrees), as this will help release the drop.

3. Pour the solution in the vase or glass bottle and arrange the flowers.

The powerful antibacterial and antioxidant properties of our Tea Tree Essential Oil help prevent bacterial and mold growth while slowing the oxidative process of the flowers and elongating their lifespan.
We recommend replacing the water solution every 2 to 3 days.

Bonus Tips for Keeping your Bouquet Fresh

• Cut the stems at an angle before you arrange the flowers in the vase. This helps in easing the nutrient absorption.
• Keep floral arrangements away from direct sunlight. Sun exposure may speed up the decaying process.
• Cut the stems an inch each time you replace the water solution. This will aid nutrient absorption.
• Always use distilled water for the flower solution. Distilled water is chlorine-free and helps prolong the flower’s freshness.
