Essential oils have been used for many years for their benefits covering a large range of medicinal, physical, and emotional wellness.   Essential oils natural compounds are found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, leaves and other parts of plants.  Make sure when purchasing your essential oils that they are certified as pure therapeutic grade essential oils organic with no fillers or additives.  Make sure your roller bottle(s) are amber or blue glass, and always a stainless-steel rollerball.  No plastic - the essential oil can break down plastic over time.  If you use clear glass bottles your essential oils can lose their potency if sitting in direct sunlight.

Roller Bottles are the easiest and most popular way to use essential oils topically.  You can use a single oil or make your own blend of oils, depending on what you are trying to treat.  Refer to the section essential oils uses and benefits to help you choose the correct essential oils for the corresponding ailment. To make a roller bottle you add your essential oil(s) of choice into the roller bottle, then top up the bottle with a carrier oil to dilute, place lid on and shake before use.  Depending on who you are making the roller bottle for will depend on how many drops of essential oil you will need.  You will need to dilute essential oil differently depending on the skin type and age, younger children dilute more than an adult.
