For hands and feet…
This makes about 4 cups (32 oz.), that is 8 – 4 oz. dropper bottles. Can also be used in roller bottles.
Ingredients:
Arnica infused almond oil 2 c
Rose infused almond oil 4 c
Calendula infused almond oil 1 c
Camphor 2 tsp
Peppermint 1 tsp
Clove 1 tsp
Lavender 1 tsp

Note: Use diluted 50% or more with a carrier oil such as plain organic almond oil if applying to large areas of the body at one time. Can be used as is, when applying only to smaller areas such as hands, feet, back of neck or shoulders. This oil is especially helpful in relieving stress. Avoid getting in eyes.
Skin test.
Method:
Combine infused oils in quart-sized jar in a cool place. Add essential oils. Store in a cool, dry place.
Use:
Rub into hands and feet while resting in the evenings. Put on comfy socks. Close eyes.
Safety note: Whenever you make a product to apply to the skin, do a simple allergy test, a “skin test” before use. Apply a small amount to a small area on the inside of your wrist and wait 24 hours. If a rash, redness, or itchiness results at any time in the 24 hours, do not use it any further. Doing a skin test is important for anything you make for yourself, but it’s even more important for anything you share with another person. Also, be aware that essential oils are better tolerated by adults than by children. The recipes you’ll find on my website are all meant for adult use. Significant adjustments have to be made for use with children.
