Ways to Use These Blends
You can use these essential oil blends in so many ways.
1) Use them in your favorite essential oil diffuser like an ultrasonic diffuser (or a reed diffuser).
2) Combine with a carrier oil like sweet almond oil or fractionated coconut oil and dilute to a safe level for use on your wrists or neck.
3) Drop the oils into a spray bottle filled with filtered water to make a room spray. Sheets and towels and air vents are a great places to start. Shake well before using or use an essential oil emulsifier to keep the oils evenly distributed in the water.
4) Put a few drops in essential oil jewelry and wear it around. This healthy jewelry is based around neodymium magnets for added health benefits. Each magnet is 4000 gauss and there are loads of studies on the benefits of these magnets.
5) Make the blends and place in an essential oil bottle and give as a gift.
6) Add the oil blends to homemade soap. Either regular soap or homemade soap without lye.
7) Make this homemade essential oil body spray with the oil blends so you or your home can smell like the holidays.
Following are lots of holiday essential oil diffuser recipes with the number of drops of essential oils you’ll need for each blend. Simply combine, use, and enjoy. These scents are practically Christmas cheer in a bottle.
