Aromatherapy Recipes - Part 2

Body Spray

Ingredients:
2oz vodka
¼ teaspoon glycerine
¼ teaspoon essential oil of choice

How to make:
Mix together and shake well

Note: I like rose essential oil because it smells nice and you can also mix essential oils together but first mix the oils together before adding to other ingredients in case you do not like the smell.

Nail Fungal Infections

Lemon grass oil
Tea tree oil

Lemon grass and tea tree oils can be used in a hand or footbath to reduce risk and help mange fungal activity.

Homemade Lipstick / Lip Balm

3 Tablespoons almond oil
1 Tablespoon beeswax
Lipstick to give colour

Melt together over a low heat, be careful it doesn’t burn.

When just melted take off the heat, stir, pour into small jars.

Healing Cold Sores

Blend together:
8 drops geranium essential oil
6 drops chamomile essential oil
5 drops lavender essential oil
3 drops lemon essential oil
8 drops tea tree oil

Method:
Dab mixture on sore with moistened cotton ball daily.

Headache Relief Pots

2oz beeswax
3oz Shea butter
4oz olive oil
Up to 1oz lavender or peppermint essential oil
Lip balm containers or small jars

Start by melting the beeswax and Shea butter down in a double boiler method.

Once the beeswax is melted add all the oils together including the lavender essential oil.

Now add the mixture to small lip balm pots or miniature jam jars.

Rub balm onto your temples.

This recipe makes 9oz of solid headache relief balm

Note: If you cannot obtain Shea butter, then substitute the 3oz of Shea butter with 1 extra oz of beeswax and 2oz of either a massage oil base like apricot il or use olive oil.
