Just use as much as you need ..looking at the recipe it’s not going to make gallons is it so I don’t think you need to worry about shelf life … oh there’s no hope sometimes 😕

I use quality roller ball application bottles for oils blends such as this.

Kim, All of the essential oils listed are in liquid form. Invert the bottles and drops of oil will drip out. Do your research and buy quality oils. I use doTERRA but there are many other producers.

Can you tell me the measurements and do I use all of those butters? Thank you

Likely 2 culprits. First, ginger is a “hot” oil, so maybe you need to use a little less or dilute more. Secondly, make sure you’re not buying your oils from a retail store. Quality is super important. Most oils are adulterated and can cause problems.

I just made some. I used solid coconut oil, frankincense, myrrh and peppermint oils (I have no ginger right now,) castor oil and a little vitamin E oil. It is more like an oil and sinks right in. I do feel like my fingers feel better. I’m going to add some black pepper oil that has anti inflammation properties to it. I just rub a little bit into my hands and let it sink in. If using too much can just wipe off. Thanks for the recipe!!

Can you mix frankincense with just olive oil

Thank you Julie. Sorry we never got back to Carole about this. You nailed this answer. Here’s more info: https://draxe.com/beauty/fractionated-coconut-oil/

There are tons of recipes for this type of stuff online. Fractionated oil is liquid and won’t solidify. It also suggest using unrefined which is solid and needs to be melted either in a double boiler or a bowl over a pot of water on medium heat. Melt, cool in fridge until semi solid. Remove and add essential oils. You can then use your mixer to whip and place in a container. It’s pretty simple. Like I said, there’s alot of recipes with instructions out there.
Since nobody seems to answer questions on this page I figured I could help.

I mix frankincense oil in with BLUE EMU. I plan on getting and adding myrrh oil. I buy essential oils at natural grocers or even the United grocers has them. Blue emu can be found most anywhere. Walgreens, Walmart, United grocers. It gives almost instant relief to the osteoarthritis and in starting to wonder if it’s also doing some healing.

What did you use to make it a butter?

Did it work!!id like to try for the cream I’d prefer!!!

Did you get you essential oil information, if not I can help you with Doterra essential oils. They are sourced and high quality oils. If you still need help I will help you.

Absolutely it (jojoba oil) will work effectively, just as Dr. Axe says in the second sentence after mentioning fractionated coconut oil….he states: “Jojoba oil is another workable carrier oil” that can be use.

Not really. Jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax, so will not work in the same way. You could use some castor oil & beeswax in this, in addition to the coconut oil. The beeswax will act as an ’emulsifier’, and the castor oil will greatly enhance penetration of the essential oils.

If you can’t use coconut oil for whatever reason, try some hemp seed oil, the cold pressed, unrefined type. It should be very dark green.

I have blended geranium and helichrysum for neuropathy in feet for clients.

how do i try this RA herbal remedy?

This recipe is the best one I’ve made to date..
I do add Shea butter and aloe Vera gel,and it spreads so nice.
Highly recommend it.
Thanks Dr. Axe

That was a great listen, thanks, Ethan. Who’d’ve figured how simple living well and getting well, if that’s what you need, could be? I’ve been well, and want to stay that way. That’s why I’m here so much. Living well is the best revenge, as the song lyrics go. ;-)
