Introduction

So you have been exploring the wonderful world of essential oils and can’t wait to get started using them. But maybe you’re a little unsure exactly what to make with them and how to do it. And then you may be wondering why you should go to the trouble to make things you can just grab at the store anyway.

The answers lie within the covers of this book. You will learn more about what common household and beauty products contain. For instance, shampoo often has dangerous chemicals, whereas bug spray has toxins that release into the air and onto your body.

What essential oils do have is the bountiful benefits of Mother Nature. With aromas ranging from rich and woodsy to luxurious and floral, essential oils not only grace us with pleasurable scents, but they make good sense as well. Why not dab a little Clove essential oil on an aching tooth rather than use a chemical to dull the pain?

You will get not only one or two ideas from this book, but 250 tried and true, step-by-step instructions on how to formulate your do-it-yourself projects and recipes.

Get started today. These 250 projects are yours for the taking. They will enrich your life in so many ways that make great sense while making great scents.



Chapter 1

Learning the Essentials about Essential Oils

Essential Oils Now and Then

In the past decade, essential oils have gained a lot of gained popularity for their many uses . They are being used for medicinal reasons, often replacing traditional prescriptions and mainstream medicine. They are also being used for pleasure, gracing homes and offices with their amazing and often therapeutic scents.

The use of essential oils has been around for thousands of years, as far back as 1500 B.C.”

Before there was such a thing as traditional medicine, people were dependent on finding cures that came straight from nature.

Many botanicals and herbs were used for healing and for luxury as well. Then it was discovered that the essence of the plant, the concentrated hydrophobic liquid, contained a more potent version that, of course, magnified the effects. So, through a process of distillation, expression or extraction, the oils were collected and thus, essential oils were birthed.

What Are Essential Oils Used For?

Essential oils are used medicinally both internally and externally. They can be applied to the skin or inhaled (aromatherapy). They are used for pleasure in much the same way.

When applied topically, generally, essential oils are mixed with a carrier oil that not only makes the oil easier to apply over a large area, but also helps it to absorb into the skin. It is important to use a high quality and all-natural or organic oil when doing so because you don’t want the oil to be contaminated with chemicals or toxins. That would certainly defeat the purpose.

Essential oils can be used in bath soaks, soaps, and scrubs. Not only does it sink into the skin by doing so, it also provides a scent that is inhaled that makes it double effective. It is a popular practice to make luxury essential oil projects, like soaps, for therapeutic reasons that also serve for pleasure. For example, a soap made from Lavender is of medicinal value since it is rich in antioxidants, great for calming the nerves, and promotes sleep. On the luxury side, the scent is rich and pleasurable.

When essential oils are inhaled, it is called aromatherapy. This can be done through many different methods such as infusing the oil into the air, steaming it, and using it in a potpourri. Again, the reasons can be medicinal, for pleasure, or both.

Essential oils can be eaten or can be mixed in a drink. Peppermint oil is often added to teas, or even to candy, and vanilla as well. The safety of ingesting many essential oils is questionable, so if you are thinking of doing so , be sure to research and then make an informed decision. The same is true when using essential oils in other ways as well. Some essential oils are considered unsafe to use in or even around young children-, babies, pets, and expectant mothers. There are essential oils that are thought to potentially cause reactions such as making you very sleepy, or others may possibly interfere with prescriptions. So, be wise in using the oils.

Not only do the individual oils hold special properties, they can be blended to concoct a product with certain qualities. A bath soak for achy muscles may include Peppermint essential oil, which is excellent to relieve pain, and Lavender to relax the muscles and for a calming effect on the mind as well.

Let’s Get Started!

You can make essential oil do-it-yourself projects for a multitude of purposes. You can do them for medicinal reasons, such as a headache remedy that replaces or enhances pain relievers. You may create a skin cream for anti-aging purposes or to get rid of a scar. Likewise, you may make up a bath soak for a therapeutic or a luxurious spa experience.

Essential oils make great household cleaners, insect repellents, and air fresheners. You may base the oils you use on the effects of the oil, such as to promote focus or calmness, or you may choose according to the scents you like the best.

Essential oil projects make great gifts to give for birthdays, Christmas, and most every other holiday or occasion. When making a project for yourself, you may want to make extra so you can give it as a present or share it with a friend.

One last thing is that you will want to use a high quality essential oil to get the best results. In addition, you will want to use a glass bowl to mix the oils in because plastic can absorb some of the goodness from them. And, when using them in the bathtub, it is best to place the oil in the tub rather than directly under the running water. The essential oil is full of energy and placing it under a strong stream of water could possibly disturb the energy and yield a weaker effect.

Now…let’s get going so you can fully enjoy and employ the wonderful world of essential oils.



Chapter 2

Making Scents of Essential Oils

DIY Diffuser Blends

Something’s in the Air

Not only do essential oils smell heavenly (most of them, at least), they also have medicinal values and they promote emotional qualities as well.

There are many ways to release the scents into the air. You can use a hot or cold method, or simply put drops of the oil on something. The oils can be diffused through air or water. Steaming and misting are popular approaches. It is the belief of many that cold methods are best because heating oil can potentially cause it to lose its power.

Anti-aging Essential Projects

Way back in the days of Cleopatra, essential oils were used to beautify the skin and to keep one looking youthful. Essential oils are loaded with things like antioxidants that help the skin repair itself from sun damage and weather conditions that can be very harsh on the skin.

There are other benefits in essential oils too that all work together to accomplish the goal of anti-aging. Many are anti-inflammatories that work to fight acne and other skin conditions that can make one look old and skin to look rough. Others help to promote collagen and contain antifungal, antimicrobial, and disinfecting qualities. Many also provide moisture to the skin. Perhaps the best thing about using essential oils to look young and vibrant is that they contain no chemicals or toxins. Plus, they smell wonderful too.
