DIY RECIPE ROUNDUP
One of the things I love most about oils is how versatile they are! So many different uses. This is why I literally carry my oils with me all the time - no joke! I make personalized rollers for almost everything. I love how we can personalize it to what we need or want ... and you can too!
​
This page is packed with nearly every DIY recipe we use and love. These DIY recipes are simple and straightforward. Let this be your guide to customize your wellness needs for you and your family!
All recipes are for 10ml roller bottles. Add the essential oils first, then fill up the rest of the bottle with your carrier oil of choice. We love fractionated coconut oil, grapeseed, or even olive oil.
Don’t have an essential oil listed? Leave it out! Did a drop or two extra get into the bottle? Totally fine! Got a different idea? Try it! Want to add more oils? Yeah girl, do it! This is not a perfect science. Play around. Experiment. Have fun!
PLEASE NOTE: All recipes are for Young Living Oils ONLY. Other brand oils used in this manner are not safe.

KID’S DIY ROLLER BLENDS

Always dilute when applying oils on the littles. Applying oils on the feet to infants and children is a good place to start, slowly increasing to other areas on the body. There are no hard and fast rules for dilution. Use your mama judgement. Feel free to adjust dilution based on your comfort level and baby’s age.
