One of the fastest and simplest ways to experience the benefits of essential oils is to apply them topically. Topical application allows you to target specific areas of the body to achieve a wide variety of support. Plus applying essential oils topically is safe, effective, and a great way to absorb and utilize the vast chemical properties of an oil. Enter the invention of the roller bottle. This wonderful device is perfect for creating essential oil recipes and pre-diluting them with a carrier oil to make them safe for all ages. If you didn't see my post on roller recipe tips, check that out - it gives you dilution tips, oil safety, supplies and more.
Over the next several weeks I'm going to share some of my favorite roller recipes with you and this week we're starting with recipes for afflictions. There's an almost endless combination of different essential oils you can use for each blend, so it is about knowing your body and figuring out what works best for you. However, these affliction recipes are designed to work for the majority, so they're a great place to start. If you don't have an oil in the recipe make sure you reference my essential oil substitution guide.
