A few years ago, my mother-in-law, Queen Hippie, got me started on essential oils. I had already heard about lavender and peppermint oils but I really didn’t know anything else about them. She’s the one who taught me about proper dilution and you don’t just put them directly on your skin. (Shame on me for not learning that beforehand. I wasted so much money on non-diluted oils!)

Essential oils are amazing, but having rollerballs is even better! Take them with you and you have a pre-made, already diluted essential oil wherever you go., how to make essential oil roller bottles

It was my mother-in-law who got me a first aid essential oil starter kit for Christmas. I had never thought that essential oils would be able to help boost your immune system or even knock out a cold. I was very lucky that she got that for me on Christmas.

All four of the people in my family at the time got a really nasty cold on Christmas Day. It was absolutely miserable Christmas for us. However it was at that point in time when my mother-in-law taught me about four thieves oil.

We mix it with some oregano oil and diluted it and we used it on all of our feet 6 times a day. And sure enough it really did help. It wasn’t two days and the cold was completely gone from all four of us! I really do believe that it helped all of us fight the gross cold and get better faster. Now we use essential oils (along with a few other things) to keep us healthy and to help us fight colds.

Now we know that we can also use essential oils in a diffuser to help with colds as well as boosting your mood, helping you focus, and many other things!

At the time I was pregnant with our third child. I had already started using essential oils during my pregnancy in lieu of taking medicine and I had AMAZING results. I wanted to know if I could find some oils to help me during labor. Both of my previous labors have been really difficult for me. But the worst part of it all was that I had back labor for the entire time I was in labor.

For those of you who don’t know anything about back labor, you are very lucky! It’s something about the position of the baby that puts pressure, instead of in the front where it should be, in your back. It feels like basically your hips are being pushed apart by a vice grip. In my case, I have back labor because of a tilted uterus. It’s horrible. And there’s really nothing you can do.

Back to my point: I went out and got as many essential oils as my beloved Pinterest could recommend for labor. And while this labor went by pretty quickly (only 10 hours, so not too bad at all), I was so glad I had them all!

I used my headache blend almost daily in the third trimester. I used my Muscle Relief all the time for any sore muscles that I had (there were a LOT of them). And for my night sickness (forget morning sickness… mine came at 10pm!), I used peppermint and ginger.

It really opened my eyes to how great essential oils can be!

I absolutely love to use rollerballs for essential oils. They’re right there and already diluted, when you need them. Plus, a lot of essential oils have very specific spots where you need to apply them for maximum effectiveness. It’s much easier to have the rollerball handy rather than trying to mix in your hands and apply to one specific spot… without getting oil all over the rest of your face.

With that in mind, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make essential oil roller bottles.

What you’ll need:

  • 10 mL roller bottles (I like these)
  • Carrier oil (I like this one)
  • Plastic droppers or pipettes (these really help make sure that you don’t make a huge mess and that you get all of your expensive essential oil into the bottle. If you don’t have these, just try using a clean eye dropper or a child’s medicine syringe. It’s just coconut oil so it’ll wash out without a problem or risking any exposure of your child to anything harmful.)
  • And, obviously, essential oils!

  • 5 drops peppermint

Headache blend:

Calm down blend:

Tummy trouble blend:

  • 5 drops ginger

“Liquid Morphine” blend:

  • 10 drops marjoram
  • 10 drops frankincense

  • 15 drops OnGuard (or this substitute)

Anti-anxiety blend:

  • 15 drops wild orange
  • 20 drops bergamot
  • 15 drops lemon

Congestion blend:

  • 5 drops Breathe (or this substitute)

There are also a few non-blended recipes that I love to use too in rollerball form.

Headache:

  • 5 drops Head Ease (compare it to this)

Sleepy Time:

  • 5 drops Good Night (compare it to this)

Nausea (or appetite control): 

  • 5 drops peppermint

Muscle aches and pains:

  • 5 drops Muscle Relief (compare it to this)

Eden’s Garden is a personal favorite of mine. Primarily because I don’t need to get out a second mortgage on essential oils only to find out I don’t like the way a blend smells.

Hope these work for you as well as they have for my family!

Essential oils are amazing, but having rollerballs is even better! Take them with you and you have a pre-made, already diluted essential oil wherever you go.

    I’ve been wanting to try Essential Oils for allergies. Mine have been so bad lately and I hate taking medicine for it. Putting them in a rollerball would be so smart!

      You HAVE to try the allergy blend! I keep mine with me everywhere and it helps me SO much! I have a friend who is allergic to cats and he always uses this before coming over to our house.

    I’ve been using EO’s for 3 years now .. .and just started using the Morphine blend last month. While by no means do I actually think it compares to MORPHINE, I would certainly compare it to the oxycodine I got after my c-section! Super powerful! <3 Thanks for sharing on LEFO linkup so I had the opportunity to come find you!

      It’s so true, Kaitlyn! I use a muscle relief blend on sore muscles and it works better for me than any prescription has. Have you ever tried Arnica cream? It’s incredible for sore muscles. I used it after my births for back pain and other muscle soreness. Definitely check it out!

    Great post! My daughter got me started using some of the essential oils. I’ve used the allergy blend in capsules, and peppermint on my tummy when it’s upset, but haven’t tried it with ginger. I will have to mix some up in a roller bottle. Thanks for sharing your recipe blends.

      Definitely try the ginger on an upset stomach! Sometimes I just put a drop of ginger in a palmful of olive oil and rub it clockwise on my stomach. It always helps me so much!

    HI, I really appreciate this post, and have a question. I followed the recipes, and the same size roller bottles. I don’t notice a lot of smell, is that normal? I might have been overdoing it so long that I have dulled my senses. I normally put like 1 drop of oil per one drop of coconut oil on the skin. Just wanted to ask how strong the smell is for you? 🙂

    Reply
    • Caroline says

      May 2 at 5:05 PM

      Hi Christa! I did the same thing for SUCH a long time; I never used to dilute my oils at ALL! But, truthfully, once I started diluting them, I didn’t really notice a huge difference in the potency of the smells. Especially with the peppermint, it was a much more pleasant aroma and definitely stopped burning my eyes. Overall, I find the rollerballs smell really nice and definitely not overwhelming. Even when I have a headache and use my peppermint and Head Ease rollerball, I rarely have anyone around me even notice the smell. It’s not like wearing a perfume; it’s like a perfume that only you can smell or notice.

      Another thought is maybe your fractionated coconut oil or plain coconut oil has a very strong coconut smell that is getting in the way of the essential oil’s full scent potential. Maybe give another brand of coconut oil a try to see if that helps you at all!

    How much of carrier oil? After we put our essential oil in our 10 ml roller how much carrier oil? Fill to the top or just like a teaspoon. Please and thanks

      Hi Linn! I just fill the rest of the rollerbottle. That’s why those little pipettes are so helpful! Hope that helps! 🙂

    I love this information. However, where do you apply your blends? Obviously some like the Sore Muscle one are applied to the sore muscle, but what about the others?

      July 23 at 9:54 PM

      I hope it helps, Julie! Here’s a chart of where to apply different kinds of essential oils. And here’s another chart of where to apply them for whatever your “symptoms” are (stress, tension, sleep, sinus). I use my sleep rollerballs behind my ears, on my temples, and I smell them as well. I hope that helps!

    Thanks for sharing! These blends sound great although, a little strong for my needs. Going to back some down to about a 2% dilution.
