DIY Essential Oils for Allergies

What you need:

• 4 drops Lavender Oil
• 3 drops Peppermint Oil
• 4 drops Lemon Oil

Combine all the oils together and use the blend in the following ways:

Roller bottle recipe – Triple the measurements above and add the essential oils to a roller bottle. Top up with a carrier oil of choice such as fractionated coconut oil  or almond oil. Roll on the forehead, back of neck and shoulders.

Diffuser blend – Reduce the drops of all the oils by two and add it to your diffuser.  Diffuse for about 15 minutes to purify the air, combat allergens and clear congested airways.

I love my essential oil diffuser’s because they help put moisture into the dry Colorado air. But, I have several cute wax warmers all over the house.  So, I’m going to make my own wax melts using essential oils.

Here are a couple of ways to do it.

Simply put 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in your wax melt holder, and 8-10 drops of your favorite essential oil, or essential oil blend.

But, if you would like to make wax molds for future use, or to give as a gift, you can easily make your own at home.

You will need:

• You can use regular Paraffin Wax, Bees Wax , or Soy Wax.
• Essential Oils, any flavor/blend you choose.
• Wax Melt Clamshells, or an old ice cube tray.

Directions:

• To fill one mold (six spaces), melt ¼ pound of candle wax.
• Melt it in a double boiler. Do not melt over direct heat.
• When the wax has melted completely, stir in 20 drops essential oil and pour into the mold.
• Let the wax harden completely and carefully remove from the mold, separating the cubes to use in the warmer.
