Making a Stock Blend

To simplify preparation and ensure consistency when making diffusers, inhalers, or roller bottles, you can create a stock blend of WALK IN THE WOODS essential oils. This stock blend is a concentrated mixture of the pure essential oils, which can be stored and used as needed for various applications.

1. Choose a clean glass bottle: Select a dark glass bottle (such as amber or cobalt blue) with a tight-fitting cap to help preserve the oils and prevent oxidation. A 3ml or 5 ml bottle works well for this. (I like to use a recycled essential oil bottle)

2. Combine essential oils: Using the proportions provided for the blend, add your oils directly to the bottle. 8 drops bergamot FCF*, 8 drops lemon, 8 drops sandalwood, and 7 drops rose.

3. Label the bottle: Clearly label your stock blend with the name, ingredients, date, and any safety notes. If not using Bergamot FCF you would label the bottle NOT for topical use.

4. Store safely: Keep your stock blend in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, children, and pets.

Making a 10ml Roller Bottle

To enjoy the WALK IN THE WOODS blend on-the-go, you can create a 10ml roller bottle for easy topical application. Follow these steps:

1. Gather your ingredients: You will need a 10ml glass roller bottle, your stock blend, and a carrier oil (such as fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil, or sweet almond oil).

2. Add the essential oils: Mix your essential oils in a small bottle then add 5 drops of the blend to the 10 ml bottle. This gives you a 2.5% dilution rate.

3. Fill with carrier oil: Top off the bottle with your chosen carrier oil, filling to the shoulder of the bottle (just below the neck).

4. Attach roller and cap: Secure the roller ball onto the bottle and cap tightly.

5. Mix: Gently roll the bottle between your hands to mix the oils.

6. Use: Apply to pulse points (wrists, temples, neck) as desired
