Remedies, Recipes, & Applications
Aromatherapy can be used for a wide variety of ailments, and essential oils offer countless emotional benefits.
Some remedies call for a single essential oil, while others recreate popular commercial synergy blends. The “Must Have” recipe label indicates remedies that can be made with any of the nine “must have” essential oils: clove, eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, lemon, lemongrass, peppermint, rosemary, and tea tree. Additional recipe labels include the following:
Aromatic: Benefits come from inhalation.

Safe for Ages 2+, 6+ 12+, or All Ages: This icon indicates the safe age range for users based on topically applied essential oils, and/or the concentration level in the remedy.
