How to Share your Favorite Essential Oil Recipes

Sharing a recipe is quick and easy. There are two ways to share recipes:

1. With Registration - Set up an account with us and submit your recipes. This is the best way to share recipes because you'll get your own author page with a list of all of the recipes you've shared. Setting up an account is completely free
2. Without Registration - If you don't want to set up an account with us or you want the simplest possible way to share your recipe, you can just send us your recipe using our Contact Us page. Include a description (a sentence or two describing the recipe, why you like it, what you use it for, etc), the recipe itself and let us know how you'd like us to attribute your recipe (eg "Recipe Shared by Emma Thompson"). We'll then add the recipe to the site for you.

Option 1 - Set Up an Account and Submit your Recipes

1. If you haven't already set up an account, click the Register button at the top of the page and follow the process to create your account.

2. Click the Submit Recipe button at the top of the page.

2. Enter a Title for your recipe. If your recipe is for a particular health concern or emotion you might want to mention that in your title - eg "Roller Recipe for Migraine Headaches" or "Diffuser Recipe for Sleep". If your recipe is something you use just because you love the smell, you might want to get poetic, eg "Tropical Delight" or "Sea Breeze", or you might want to keep it practical, eg "Frankincense and Bergamot Diffuser Blend" or something in between eg "My Favorite Woodsy Blend". It's completely up to you.
3. Enter a description for your recipe. This can be anything from a sentence to multiple paragraphs and can include things like what you use the recipe for, why you like it, what benefits you've experienced from using it and any other info you think people might be interested in.
4. Click the Add Essential Oil button.

5. Click the Down arrow in the Essential Oil column and either scroll to select the oil or click in the box at the top and start typing the name of the oil.

6. If you can't find the oil you want in the list, leave the first column empty and type the name of the oil in the 2nd column.

7. Enter the Number of drops.
8. Optionally enter a note - eg if you've selected Lime and you think Persian Lime is best for this recipe, you might want to enter "Preferably Persian Lime" as the note. But most of the time you can leave this empty.
9. Repeat steps 4 to 8 for each essential oil in your recipe.
10. If your recipe has other ingredients, eg carrier oil, beeswax or distilled water, enter those in the Other Ingredients section. Note if you're entering carrier oil you can either select a specific carrier oil, eg Sweet Almond Oil, or you can select "Carrier oil of you choice".
11. Optionally, enter some instructions and/or comments. This will often be very simple eg "Add the oils to your diffuser" or "Add the essential oils to a 10 ml roller bottle and fill the rest of the bottle with carrier oil". But you can go into more detail if you want.
12. Optionally, enter the preparation time in minutes.
13. If you have a picture of your blend, you can upload a picture of it but otherwise just leave this empty. We'll find a picture for you.
14. Click Submit Recipe.
15. We'll let you know as soon as your recipe has been published.
