Recipe Notes
This recipe is for 5% dilution. Try the recipe at the 5% dilution first to see if this blend is going to meet your needs and support your workout goals. If you want a stronger blend, increase the essential oil drops in this recipe to double for a total of 120 drops per 2 ounces of carrier oil to reach a 10% dilution, if desired.
We’ve combined the essential oils in this recipe with fractionated coconut oil [1]. This carrier oil is perfect because it glides on smooth and allows the essential oils to be absorbed quickly into the skin. You are welcome to use another carrier oil if you prefer.
