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. The more you know about what essential oils don’t
have in them, like hazardous chemicals and poisonous toxins, the more you will
want to concoct your own formulations.
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. These recipes include essential oils for household cleaning and for
glorious tub soaks. You will find ingenious, creative uses for essential oils that
have probably never crossed your mind before. You will get complete
instructions on how to make those formulas like a homemade essential oil
remedy for balding hair, or the recipe to make your home smell like a day at the
beach.
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.

medicinal and emotional bonuses as well. Simply put them into your favorite

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
