Essential Ingredients

Since I am venturing into making my own topical analgesics, I've created some recipe blends based on what I've read.  I am thinking these would do well in an oil diffuser as aromatherapy only also and plan to try in my tealight warmers without using the carrier oil.  I have some old empty amber bottles from essential oils waiting to store my new recipes!  Next project DIY: Bath Salts.
