Minty Citrus Essential Oil DIY Blend Anyone
Hey this is Gavin from Restore Hope Oils. Welcome to our blog while ago I had an experience where I was in my office and a wonderful friend of mine came by to get some oils. This woman has been a great friend and grandma type personality for my children.
She said, “Gavin, do you still have the raw Peppermint oil “I love so much” (we sell a non-rectified Peppermint oil so it has a slightly more bitter note as we do not remove any of the constituents)?”
I said, “Yes we do. Do you need some today?”
She said, “Oh yes, please don’t get rid of it because I love it, it is my Pure Happy!”
We chatted for a moment longer and I asked, “May I share with you some oils you could combine with your Peppermint oil that I think you may enjoy?”
Her eyes went wide, “You mean, you can make it better?!” (this woman has amazing energy and loves the mint family of oils in general)
I said, “Better will be determined by you, but Carrie (my wife) and I really enjoy it.”
I want to share with you, The Restore Hope Oils Family, what I shared with her. This is a simple DIY blend that:
Smells minty with a hint of citrus.
Assists soreness and can mitigate lactic acid buildup after a workout.
Has been found to open the mind and respiratory system.
Items needed:
1 – Restore Hope Oils Peppermint
1 – Restore Hope Oils Rosemary
1 – Restore Hope Oils Fractionated Coconut Oil
A 10ml bottle holds approximately (depending on the density of the oil) 200 drops of oil/product. Here are some simple ratios of oil and carrier I would add to the empty roller bottle or standard 10ml bottle:
Add enough Fractionated Carrier Oil to fill 25% of the bottle.
Add 10 drops of Peppermint
Add 12 drops of Rosemary
Add 30 drops of Lime
Fill the rest of the bottle with Fractionated Coconut Oil. This is enough carrier oil that I don’t overpower a room, but I receive great benefit.
Gently agitate the bottle for 1-2 minutes.
Let the mixture sit in a dark and preferably cool place for 12-24 hours for the oils to really learn to come together. The aroma will be quite different in 24 hours.
Apply to sore muscles, to neck and shoulders for a mental pick me up or if you want to support your respiratory system.
Essential Oil On!
