Tranquility on the Go: Easy Essential Oil Roller Recipe

What You’ll Need

To make your anxiety-relief roller blend, you’ll need:

• Essential Oils

  • 2 drops Frankincense Oil (Boswellia carterii)

  • 2 drops Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia)

  • 2 drop Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis)

• Carrier Oil

  • Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) or another carrier oil with similar viscosity

• 10 ml Roller Bottle

Here’s how to create your anxiety-relief blend:

1. Add 2 drops of Frankincense oil to the roller bottle

2. Follow with 2 drops of Lavender oil

3. Add 2 drops of Sweet Orange oil for a cheerful, calming note

4. Top off the bottle with your carrier oil

5. Secure the roller top and gently mix by rolling the bottle between your palms

How to Use Your Roller Blend

Apply your roller blend to pulse points like your wrists, temples, or behind your ears. These areas allow the oils to work quickly and effectively.

For an enhanced calming experience, pair your application with a few deep breaths or a personal affirmation, such as:

"I am calm, grounded, and at peace."

When sourcing your oils, it’s important to prioritize quality—especially with frankincense (Boswellia carterii). Did you know frankincense is considered endangered in some parts of the world? Many producers over-harvest the resin, which can cause trees to die. That’s why sustainable practices are crucial.

Aromatics International partners with the world’s leading producer of sustainably crafted frankincense (Boswellia carterii) oil. Their commitment to ethical harvesting protects these sacred trees and supports advocacy for sustainable practices worldwide. Knowing your oils come from a trusted source makes blending even more rewarding.

Why These Ingredients Work

Each essential oil in this blend brings its unique calming properties:

• Frankincense: Known for its grounding and meditative qualities, it supports emotional balance.

• Lavender: A classic for relaxation, it soothes stress and promotes a sense of calm.

• Sweet Orange: Adds a cheerful, uplifting touch to help ease tension.

The carrier oil dilutes the essential oils for safe use and nourishes the skin during application.

Safety Tips

• Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil for topical use.

• Be cautious with citrus oils like sweet orange, as they can be phototoxic. Avoid applying to skin exposed to direct sunlight.

• When blending for children ages 5–10, it’s important to reduce the total concentration of essential oils to ensure safety. For this recipe, decrease the total number of drops to 2 drops. 

Closing Thoughts

This roller blend is just the beginning. Feel free to experiment with your favorite oils or adjust the recipe to suit your needs. Aromatherapy is as much about creativity as it is about self-care.
