Powder/Baby powder
(use less and mild oils for baby
powder such
as lavender or chamomile)
8 ounces arrowroot
powder (herb) or cornstarch or a combination of both.
4 ounces baking soda, extends the base
and
gives deodorizing benefits.
add 15 drops of your favorite
essential oil
or essential oil combination -
Blend thoroughly and put in
container.
1/4 or 1/2 as much for baby powder - corn
starch
is probably best & leave out the baking soda.
The best healing baby powder for diaper
rash
was given to me by a little old woman when my oldest daughter was a
baby
(she's now 41) Brown flour in a dry pan with no oil and apply to
bottom.
Lip Balm
1/2 cup (4 oz.) almond or other
carrier oil (not
mineral oil)
1 oz. beeswax (If
too
soft add more beeswax- too hard add more carrier oil.)
1 tbsp. honey or 1 capsule of vitamin
E
(squeeze vit. E from pierced capsule - throw capsule away)
Add a few drops of essential oil.
(Do not exceed 5 drops at least the first time.)
Combine carrier oil and beeswax, and
warm oil
to melt beeswax. Stir in honey or vit. E and
then add the Essential oil. Pour
into small
jars or balm tubes to harden.
You can make a solid perfume using the
same method
- just add more essential oil. I always use pure essential oils,
however, you could substitute perfume oils. You might also use a
healing combination such as "NoMo Pain"
which smells great.
Essential Oil cream
1 cup carrier oil or cocoa butter - (do not use mineral oil)
2 1/2 Tbsp. beeswax
1 cup water (luke warm) Distilled, aloe vera juice or Rosewater
30 to 50 drops essential oils
In a glass measuring cup add oil and beeswax. Put the
measuring
cup into a pan of water - the water needs to go at least 1/2 way up the
outside of the measuring cup. Heat until the beeswax melts.
Remove cup from pan. Cool a little but do not let the
beeswax
harden. Test by carefully putting finger in the wax mixture. It
should
not be uncomfortable, and a film of wax should form at the edge.
Pour luke warm water into a blender - remove center ring. Turn
blender
on high speed and slowly add the oil and beeswax mixture. It is best to
use a wide mouth funnel to keep splattering to a minimum. The
temperature
of the oil and how steady the oil is poured will have some bearing on
the
finished product. There is some leeway and perfection is not
necessary.
This should begin to harden after about 3/4's of the oil has
been added.
At this point you may need to stir - preferably use a wooden chopstick
along the top edges and be careful to stay away from the blades in the
center. Slowly add the rest of the oil until it becomes too stiff
to take any more oil or until all the water is dissipated.
Sometimes
there is some water left - pour it off or absorb with a paper
towel.
At this time you should have a thick, beautiful cream.
Now add
the essential oils and turn on the blender just enough to combine the
essential
oils. Do not over blend. Put in jars. May be
refrigerated
for a longer shelf life.
Lotion - follow the above
directions
with these quantities of ingredients
3/4 cup carrier oil or cocoa butter
1 cup distilled water, Aloe Vera Juice or Rosewater
2 Tbsp. beeswax
30 drops Essential Oils
Cream recipe - very simple
#2
2 oz carrier oil or a mix of carrier oil and aloe vera and 1 - 3 pea
sized balls of beeswax.
If stirred before it is completely cool and hardened it becomes
gritty.
Add 5 to 10 drops of Essential oils after it has cooled and hardened to
maintain the strength and integrity of the essential oil.
This can also be made into a body scrub if made quite runny
and mixed
with
salt and eos.
Rosewater
2 cups distilled water
1/4 cup vodka or Everclear (liquor store)
1/2 cup red rose petals (red gives best color)
Best time to pick is between 10:00 A.M. and Noon after dew is off but
before the sun has released their essential oils.
May add up to 15 drops rose oil if petals don't have enough
scent.
Combine water, vodka or everclear and petals in a
covered jar
- place in the sun.
It takes less than a day for the oils and color to be extracted from
the petals by the sun.
Strain through a coffee filter into a covered bottle and
refrigerate.
It needs to be used within 2 weeks.
Glycerine and Rosewater Lotion
May add an equal amount of vegetable glycerin to the above
recipe.
Shake well and bottle. May be used all over the body.
Bath Crystals
1 cup salt - rock, sea, or mineral salt
3 to 5 drops - Vegetable food coloring
(shake or mix well after each 2 drops added
until it reaches desired color.)
20 to 25 drops - Essential oil Shake or mix well until oils are
thoroughly absorbed.
They will sparkle like jewels if you add a tsp of glycerine.
Salt melts and softens the water, the glycerin will
moisturize your
skin and the color will vanish. .

Make your own
Perfume
• Essential oils
• Pure grain alcohol (Everclear, from a liquour store) Do not
use wood alcohols which you buy in stores and pharmacies as they are
poison
to your body.
• Distilled Water
Perfume is simple to make, the trick is to put the essential
oils together
creating a smell you like. Perfume is made up of base notes (the smell
stays the longest on your skin), middle notes (smell stays second
longest),
and top notes (smell of oil evaporates first). Because the oils all
evaporate
at different rates the perfume may smell different as time goes on.
Below
are listed easily found essential oils divided into base, middle and
top
notes.
There is some controversy on which oils belong in each group
so this
is only a starting place.
• Base notes-Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Patchouli, Sandalwood,
Vanilla. Ylang
ylang
• Middle notes-Clove, Geranium, Lemongrass, Nutmeg, Neroli
• Top notes-Bergamot, Lavender, Lemon, Lime.
• Bridge-vanilla, lavender (add a few drops to join base, middle and
top notes together)
To make your perfume, mix at least 25 drops total of
essential oils
divided evenly between base, middle and top notes. Start with the base
notes, then middle, then top, smelling as you go. Add a few drops of
the
bridge oil. Add 2 1/2 ounces of alcohol, shake for a few minutes, then
let it sit for 48 hours (or up to 6 weeks-the longer it sits, the
stronger
the smell). Add 2 tablespoons distilled water, stir, then pour through
a coffee filter and put it in a bottle.
