Oil
Aromatherapy is a highly effective and natural way to treat common ailments. The therapy eases common muscle aches, soreness, tension and many more annoying or even painful conditions. A simple, homemade aromatherapy massage oil and a good rub down alleviates stressful symptoms. They key is to make the massage oil correctly.
Instructions
1. Pour two ounces of your chosen carrier oil into a small mixing bowl. Carrier oils are vegetable oils that dilute the essential oil. Try using almond, grape seed, olive or avocado oil.
2. Mix 3 to 5 drops of your chosen essential oil into your carrier oil. Combine well. The essential oils are very concentrated. A little goes a long way. Remember, it is always easier to add more later than it is to subtract.
3. Use a funnel to pour the oily mixture into a bottle. Cap or cork the bottle. Shake well and then let it sit for several days. This allows the oils to really combine.
4. Open the bottle of oil after two weeks and smell to make sure it is strong enough. If it is not, add a few extra drops of the essential oil. Reseal and let it set for at least another week before checking again.
