Aromatherapy roller balls are a great way to take the healing power of essential oils on the go. This handy little roller is filled with a blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils that have been diluted in carrier oil and ready to be applied. It’s simple to make, and can save you a lot of time and money by letting you avoid buying bulky bottles of oil that are usually expensive or hard to store.

How to Use an Aromatherapy Roller Ball

To get the best results from aromatherapy roller balls, you should apply them on areas that need some attention or focus. These include pulse points on your inner wrist and neck, behind your ears and temples. This will help the oils reach the deepest layers of your skin, where the healing properties are most effective.

How to Create an Aromatherapy Roller Bottle

The first step is to choose the oils you want in your roll-on. You can either buy pre-made essential oil blends or try creating your own custom blends. A good rule of thumb is to mix no more than four oils at a time, and you should experiment with different scents and top, middle and base notes when blending essential oils.

If you’re using a blend, add the recommended amount of essential oils to your roller bottle and then top with a carrier oil such as coconut oil. It’s important to dilute the essential oils before applying them, as they can be very potent on their own.

A good quality carrier oil is an important ingredient in any aromatherapy blend, as it helps to emulsify the essential oils. You can choose from a wide range of carriers, but fractionated coconut oil is often the most popular. This oil undergoes a heating process that converts it from a solid at room temperature to a liquid at cooler temperatures, so it’s perfect for rollerball recipes.

Whether you’re looking to boost your immune system, relax after a long day or calm those hangover symptoms, there’s a blend for you. To make a custom blend, simply fill the bottle with 10 ml of your chosen carrier oil and then add your essential oils and mix thoroughly.

You can then shake it up, label and enjoy!

What to Use an Aromatherapy Roller Ball for

Depending on the blend, it may be beneficial to use your roller balls every four-six hours, or as frequently as needed. It’s a good idea to have an aromatherapy roller ball on hand at work or in your home so that you can apply it whenever you need a pick-me-up, stress relief or a confidence boost.
