Make Your Own Essential Oil Roller Bottles - Save Some Moolah!

I love to make my own essential oil combinations, so much so my hubby calls me the Alchemist. My favorite method to apply these concoctions is to use glass roller bottles. Buying the roller bottle blends through the major essential oil companies cost over $20 a pop. I couldn't justify spending that much, so I came up with a very simple way to make them yourself for next to nothing at all!

My Preferred Glass Roller Bottles

My three favorite blends to apply via roller are the Four Thieves, Muscle Relief, and PMS Ease blends. If you read my post on My Preferred Essential Oils - Edens Garden you can find out why I prefer Edens Garden products.

 

Four Thieves

After you decide which purchased or homemade blend you will be using, you need to decide which carrier oil to use. I like to use Grapeseed oil. I order it on Amazon* since I live in an area where we unfortunately do not have lovely stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.  

Next you need to collect the glass roller bottles themselves. These I also order on Amazon. It's hard to beat less than $10 for 18 bottles! After unscrewing the cap the little plastic ball top pops right off with a little finger nail action. When you receive them wash them with soapy water and air dry. 

PMS Ease

Add 12-15 drops of the essential oil into the bottle. Then using a funnel or a steady hand pour the Grapeseed oil to the top. Pop the plastic roller lid back onto the top, screw on the cap and viola! You have made your very own essential oil roller bottles. I keep my favorite blends in a waterproof zipper pouch in my purse for use on the go.

Muscle Relief

If you make a Four Thieves roller it is great to apply to the bottoms of your feet to boost immunity. I use the Muscle Relief roller at work. Being at a desk all day typing, my shoulders, lower back, and neck get tight and sore. I roll on some Muscle Relief and it helps to soothe my achy bones. The PMS Ease roller is handy for that lovely time of the month. Since I started using this blend my cramps and bloating have lessened to the point that I rarely need to take any kind of pain medicine anymore. This has pleased me greatly. I will forever use this blend, well at least until Menopause kicks in!

Please feel free to share your favorite roller bottle blends in the comments! I would love to hear from you and steal your ideas.

My Preferred Essential Oils - Edens Garden

My research helped me to realize that the most popular and well known essential oils out there have  major marketing schemes behind them. I don't fault them for this, they are smart. What I am not willing to accept is that they have the only decent oils on the market. I have done a lot of research on the differences between oils and most of the price difference comes from the marketing and brand behind them, not the quality of the oil. I do like the blends that a lot of the more expensive brands offer, but I am just not willing to sell a kidney on Craig's List to afford them.

After much research and reading of Amazon reviews of people that want quality at the best price I found the Edens Garden brand. They are high quality oils at fantastic price points. They sell a multitude of single oils for blends but they also sell what they call Synergy Blends that I absolutely love. They are not a Pyramid scheme, and they don't have affiliates to sell on their behalf. They have kept their marketing simple, a Facebook page, a website, and they list their oils on Amazon. If you purchase from their site and spend $50 you get free shipping. If you want to buy just a few oils you can get them on Amazon, or I would recommend buying one of their Create Your Own sets on their site for the best deal.

Here are a few of my favorites that I now feel I cannot live without:

Edens Garden Four Thieves Blend 

Four Thieves Synergy Blend

This is my absolute favorite blended oil. It has so many uses and smells extra yummy. This is hands down the best price for a high quality non-diluted Thieves oil.

Edens Garden Good Night Blend

Good Night Synergy Blend

This is another of my cannot go a night without oils. We diffuse this oil every night. My hubby used to get up to use the bathroom 5-6 times a night and have a hard time falling back asleep. Since we have used this oil he only gets up once a night and falls back to sleep like a baby. 

All of the single oils and blends that I have purchased from Edens Garden have been A+ quality. Please post your comments if you have used Edens Garden brand oils and which ones are your favorites!
