21 Roller Bottle Recipes for Emotions (FREE PRINTABLE LABELS}

I love using essential oils to positively affect my mood!  If you’ve read any of my blog posts you’ve probably picked up that I’m a BIG fan of diffusing essential oils to enhance my moods, and the moods of those around me :)!  I have favorite diffuser blends for pretty much every desired mood!  (click the following moods to get diffuser recipes for that mood)

energy diffuser blends

calm diffuser blends

sleep diffuser blends

focus diffuser blends

happy diffuser blends

… you name it, I diffuse it.

While diffusing for emotions is great, there are many times when I choose to apply essential oils topically instead.

• when I’m not going to be around a diffuser
• when I want to affect my mood but not other members of my family
• when I want an extra boost (in addition to what I’m diffusing)
• when I want to be discrete
• when I want to use the essential oils as a perfume

When applying essential oils topically, it’s important to dilute

Essential oils are very strong and potent.  They much more concentrated than the herbs, flowers, and fruits in their original form.  So when I use essential oils topically, I always dilute them with a carrier oil like fractionated coconut.  The roller bottle blends in this post are all designed for occasional use by a healthy adult.  They are 5% dilutions, meaning that 5% of the blend is essential oils and 95% of the blend is carrier oil.  For the standard size 10ml roller bottles, that means 10 drops of essential oil and the rest of the 10ml bottle is filled with carrier oil (like fractionated coconut oil).

How to Make Roller Bottle Blends

1) to a standard 10ml roller bottle add…

10 drops essential oil (see recipes below for ideas)

then fill rest of roller bottle with carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil

2) snap the rollerball on the bottle— the easiest way to do this is put the rollerball on the bottle and then screw the cap on– that should snap it right in place

3) shake well to mix the essential oils and carrier oil

4) label your bottle so you know what it is

cut your labels out

put them image side down on a piece of packing tape

trim around the label, leaving about 1/8-1/2 inch of tape all the way around the label so that it will stick to the roller bottle

adhere the label to the roller bottle
