Anointing Oil Recipe

Select a 10 ml glass bottle with roller applicator, similar to one in the illustration above.

Ingredients:

5 drops cajeput (Melaleuca cajeputi) essential oil

5 drops eucalyptus narrow leaf (Eucalyptus radiata) essential oil

2 – 3 drops peppermint (Mentha x piperita) essential oil

Jojoba oil (choose organic Simmondsia chinensis, or Golden Jojoba oil)

Method:
1. Wipe your working surface (desk, countertop, etc.) with 70% rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth. Place your roller bottle and all essential oils and Jojoba oil on this clean surface.

2. Open the roller bottle and place 5 drops of cajeput oil into the empty glass. Next place 5 drops of eucalyptus, followed by 2 – 3 drops of peppermint essential oil.

3. Finally, pour Jojoba oil over these essential oils up to the neck of the roller bottle. Replace the roller top, and close tightly with the bottle cap.

Ensure the entire bottle is tightly closed. Grasping the bottle at its middle, gently shake the bottle back and forth 10 to 15 times to completely blend the ingredients.

4. Unscrew the cap and inhale the scent. Breathe deeply 3 times to fully appreciate its clean, full aroma.

5. Affix a beautiful label to your roller bottle. Ready to carry with you, in your pocket or bag!

Safety Notes:

Remember that essential oils are persistent, potent, extremely concentrated products of the plants’ defense and immune systems. Essential oils are a “natural” product, yet natural does not necessarily mean “gentle.”

Do not use essential oils if you take medication for any medical condition, if you are pregnant, nursing, or considering becoming pregnant. Do not use on infants, children, or the elderly. Do not use obsessively, over a long period of time because you may develop sensitivities that may not be reversed. Always dilute essential oils prior to applying to your skin. Do not take internally.
