Homemade Massage Oil Recipe

Start with an ounce of your favorite carrier oil. I like to use regular olive oil since it is readily avialable in my kitchen cupboard. Other great choices are sweet almond oil, peanut oil, avocado oil and walnut oil. Almost any type of oil will work well as a massage oil.

Add 8 to 10 drops of your favorite essential oil and combine well. Use like any massage oil.

Some essential oils and their benefits:
