Every last drop:  Capturing Essence

Empty EO Bottles and the Perfect Bath Salts

Every wonder what to do with your empty bottles of essential oils?  They still smell wonderful.  There is precious EO residue left--but how to use it....
Here are 2 ideas:
1. Bath Salts
  • Take off the top and orifice from empty EO bottle.  
  • In a large glass jar or container put a shallow layer of Epson Salts.  
  • Insert your bottles, orifices and bottle tops and be sure to fill with salts.  
  • After each layer of bottles, add another thin layer of Epson Salts.
  • Keep adding bottles and salt as you have more empties.  Cover with cap and store until needed.
  • When using simply put a couple handfuls into your bath.  Be sure to add bottles, caps and orifices as well.  
  • TIPS: Any gentle EO's like Peace and Calming, White Angelica, Lavender, Gently Baby, Ledum, Transformation, Joy, etc are great for this use.  If you have empties of Eucalyptus Blue, RC, Raven, other Eucalyptus, Dorado Azul, Peppermint, etc--make a separate blend of respiratory Bath Salts.  DO NOT use for empty Thieves, Oregano, Thyme, Clove, unless well mixed into other gentler blends.

Here's another option for empty bottles!
2. Put carrier oil into empty bottles with orifices removed.  Replace cap and save until needed.  Use as a massage oil.  
  • Carrier oils:  You can get YL unscented massage oil blend or can use any organic cooking oil.  Coconut needs to be melted and mixed with something else to keep it liquid.  Coconut is good for cooling: summertime works well.  Sesame is warming:  wintertime works well.  Olive oil is a good all around oil.  All have a smell so pick mild ones--coconut can be refined for high heat, which removes smell. 
  • TIP:  These massage oils can be added together after a week or so and used as desired.
