With the increased emphasis on holistic healing and natural living, aromatherapy and essential oils have become hot topics. Many are benefiting from the therapeutic properties that essential oils offer. One effortless way to utilize essential oils is to create aromatherapy roll-ons.

Aromatherapy roll-ons can be a great way to relax your mind and body. They are also a good option if you don't have time for a full aromatherapy session or if you want something portable but effective.

Read this blog post for more information on how to make aromatherapy roll-ons with essential oils effectively!

What Are Aromatherapy Roll Ons?

Aromatherapy roll-ons are roller bottles filled with a blend of carrier oil and essential oils. They allow you to roll essential oils onto your skin to enjoy them topically. They are fast and convenient.

Essential oils are highly concentrated, so it is best not to apply them directly to your skin. You will need a carrier oil to dilute them first. You will also need the right roller bottle. They come with small rollerball tops that allow only a tiny amount of oil out at a time.

How to Make Aromatherapy Roll-Ons with Essential Oils

Essential oils have many health benefits. They can be used for everyday ailments such as headaches, sore muscles, and insomnia. Essential oils can also be used in aromatherapy roll-ons, which is a great way to reap the health benefits.

Step 1: Choose Essential Oils

Decide what essential oils you want in your aromatherapy roll-on, or just pick a single, like lavender oil, for a calming roll-on that is great for stress or sleep.

Step 2: Pick a Carrier Oil

You will need a carrier oil, it is the base oil you will use for your roll-on. It helps to dilute your essential oils so you can safely apply them to your skin. Some great options:

• jojoba oil (my favorite)
• fractionated coconut oil
• sweet almond oil

Step 3: The Right Roll On Bottle

To create your roll-on, you will need a glass roller bottle. A roll-on bottle is just what it sounds like a bottle that you can roll onto your skin. The type of roll-on needed for aromatherapy is a glass roller bottle designed for use with essential oils.

The best choice is 10 ml roller bottles. They will take 2 teaspoons of carrier oil to fill. I prefer stainless steel balls; they usually glide on the best.

Step 4: Blend Recipe

Place 2-10 drops of essential oils in the bottle (depending on the desired dilution level). Then, fill the rest of the bottle with the carrier oil of choice. Place the roller ball and cap on, shake to blend, and add a bottle label.

Step 5: Ready to Roll

To use, roll on the desired areas. If there is a location needing the oils, apply directly to the area of concern (like a bug bite). Temples are great for tension and headaches. To enjoy the aroma benefits, roll on the wrists, chest, and neck.

Be careful not to get essential oils in the eyes or mucus membranes. See our infographic tutorial below, and be sure to share it on your favorite social sites!

How often should essential oil blends be reapplied?

Essential oils can be powerful, so if you are new to them or the blend you are using, it is a good idea to apply them once or twice daily. If you aren't experiencing any irritation or redness after a few uses, you can apply your aromatherapy blend more often throughout the day if needed.
