6 Easy Aromatherapy Recipes

Here are 6 easy aromatherapy recipes for minor first aid and household use that you can mix for your family or yourself. First, you’ll need the “essence” of aromatherapy, essential oils. Some of the most common and versatile essential oils include:

  • Lavender – A favorite due to its sweet smell and many healing properties
  • Tea Tree Oil- A very common and versatile oil
  • Peppermint Oil – It’s not just for flavoring in candy and chewing gum
  • Chamomile Oil – Many healing properties and safe for children too
  • Eucalyptus Oil – Commonly used with coughs and colds

Next, you’ll need a “base” oil. This is a gentler oil used to dilute an essential oil in an aromatherapy recipe. Some common base oils that can be found in many households or local markets include Corn Oil, Olive Oil, Safflower Oil and Wheatgerm Oil.

Disclaimer: The information and recipes in this article are intended to be used for common minor ailments and should never replace the advice of a physician.

First Aid – There are many easy aromatherapy recipes that can be used in common first aid situations.

1 Minor Cuts and Wounds – mix 5-6 drops of Lavender Oil and 2 drops of Tea Tree Oil in 2 cups of warm water. Bathe the wound twice daily until it scabs over.

2 Burns – After soaking cold water for several minutes, apply 1-2 drops of lavender oil directly to the burn. Put 5-6 drops of lavender oil on a gauze pad and apply as a compress.

3 Dry Chapped Skin – Mix the following in 2 teaspoons of a base oil:

  • 10 drops Chamomile Oil
  • 10 drops Geranium Oil
  • 5 drops Lavender Oil
  • 5 drops Lemon Oil

Apply the mixture to your skin. It works great on your face and for chapped lips too.

4 Headache – Mix 1 drop of a base oil with 3 drops lavender oil and 1 drop peppermint or chamomile. Rub the combination on your temples and your neck at the base of the skull.

Household Recipes – While you might think of aromatherapy as only intended to treat ailments, it can also be used for household chores for effective cleaning and freshening. Try these easy aromatherapy recipes for creating a pleasant atmosphere while completing your housework.

5 Laundry – Here are a couple of ways you can get fresh smelling laundry. Add 4-5 drops of lavender oil to the fabric softener dispenser on your washing machine. Another alternative would be to apply 4-5 drops of lavender oil to a small rag and put it in your dryer as you are drying your clothes. Try the same method with your other favorite smelling essential oils.

6 Insect Repellent – Citronella is very effective at repelling most insects. Combining with some other essential oils makes it work even better while at the same time creating a wonderful air freshener. Try mixing 3 drops of peppermint oil with 10 drops of citronella, or as an alternative combine 5 drops of lavender oil with 5 drops of citronella. Place your mixture on a strip of cotton material or paper towel and hang in front of the window or place on the window sill to prevent insects from entering. You can also use cotton balls with the mixture and put them in the small crevices around the edge of the floor or cabinets where insects tend to hide. Essential oils for flea control can also be very effective on dogs.

Peppermint oil has been cultivated since ancient times, having been found in Egyptian tombs as far back as 1000 BC. Peppermint oil can assist in nervous disorders, the respiratory tract, for muscle aches and pains and for skin problems.

Description

Our soaps are made the old-fashioned way. They are hand-crafted using natural ingredients and include pure essential oils and organic botanicals. Known as Castile soap, our base is one of the gentlest and moisturizing of all soaps. We employ the “cold processing” method and do not add heat or chemicals to the soap pots. This process produces a bar full of natural glycerin, which is a by-product of the soap making process. Unlike most soaps on the market today, we do not remove this glycerin from our soap because it is a humectant, which helps attract moisture to the skin and can be gentle enough for even the driest and most sensitive of skin. Additionally, we do not add preservatives, colorants or fragrance oils to our products. Our soap is made with your skins well-being in mind – no harmful synthetics, just pure ingredients from nature. From Ambrosia to Vanilla Orange, there is something for everyone. Try one of our wonderful 27 types today!

Features

  • Pure and Natural, Nothing Synthetic
  • Peppermint’s medicinal qualities are documented as far back as 1600 BC.
  • It is known to nourish dull skin, improve oily skin, aid in circulation and pain relief.
  • We use fresh, organic peppermint to create a refreshing, cooling, uplifting bathing experience.
  • Gentle enough for all skin types.
