DEEP BLUE ESSENTIAL OIL USES

Deep blue essential oil has many uses. It is best used topically; however, it can be used aromatically as well. To avoid skin sensitivity, it is best to dilute deep blue before applying it to the area of concern.

Deep blue can be diluted in a roller bottle, lotion, salve, or cream. Once diluted, apply to the area of concern.

If the area of discomfort is a larger surface area, I suggest adding a few drops of deep blue to a lotion or cream. If it is a smaller area, then you can make a roller bottle for easy application.

Deep blue has a cooling effect on the skin and works similar to icy hot. When rubbed onto the skin, the cooling effects of the oil will be felt almost immediately.

DEEP BLUE ROLLERBALL RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

15-20 drops deep blue essential oil
10mL roller bottle
Carrier oil (I use fractionated coconut oil.)

INSTRUCTIONS

Add the essential oil to the roller bottle.
Top off with carrier oil.
Secure rollerball top and lid. Shake well.
Apply to area of concern.

RECIPE NOTES:

If you make this roller bottle for a child or someone with sensitive skin, you can further dilute the roller bottle. I recommend using 5-10 drops for anyone under the age of 13. If making this for a toddler, use 1-5 drops total of essential oil.

WHAT IS IN DOTERRA DEEP BLUE?

Deep blue is a blend of wintergreen, camphor, peppermint, ylang ylang, helichrysum, blue tansy, blue chamomile, and osmanthus.

HOW CAN I MAKE DOTERRA DEEP BLUE?

If you do not have doTERRA deep blue blend, you can make a similar blend using the essential oils listed above. In an empty essential oil bottle or roller bottle (just be sure you mark the rollerball as “not diluted”), you can add equal drops of each essential oil into the blend. Secure the lid and shake well.

DEEP BLUE RUB DOTERRA

DoTERRA has a product known as deep blue rub. This is essentially a lotion that has the deep blue blend in it. It is one of doTERRA’s most popular products and loved by so many customers.

This is a great option if you have chronic back discomfort or a large area that needs to be addressed. My husband uses this blend of essential oil for sore muscles.

You can make a similar product at home by adding deep blue oil to lotion or making your own lotion with deep blue. If you want to make your own deep blue rub, I would recommend adding 15 drops of essential oil to 1/4 cup lotion.

You can use this blend the same way you use deep blue. It should be diluted before applied to the skin to avoid any skin sensitivities.

If you do not have wintergreen, you can substitute that with spearmint or peppermint essential oil and still see similar results.

CAN YOU DIFFUSE DOTERRA DEEP BLUE ESSENTIAL OIL?

Deep blue has a fresh, invigorating aroma that can benefit you when used aromatically. The amount of essential oil you diffuse will depend on the room’s size and personal preference. I suggest starting with 4-6 drops of essential oil in the diffuser.

Diffusing deep blue will promote clear, healthy breathing, can give you a natural boost of energy, and support a healthy immune system.

DOTERRA DEEP BLUE RUB SIDE EFFECTS

It is important to note that deep blue should be diluted before applied topically to the skin. After using deep blue essential oil or deep blue rub, you should wash your hands to avoid it getting into your eyes or mouth.

If deep blue gets on the skin undiluted, apply a carrier oil to the area. No essential oil should be put near or in the eyes, nose, or ears. If you get deep blue in your eyes, flush with clean, warm water. Applying a carrier oil around the eyes may help too.

CAN YOU PUT DOTERRA DEEP BLUE IN THE BATH?

Adding deep blue to the bath is a great way to relieve muscle and joint discomfort. This would be a great thing to do after a long day at work or after a workout. I like to make bath salts with essential oils to add to my bathwater.

Salts can be added to a warm bath to help with skin irritations, muscle aches and to detox the body. The minerals found in salts will absorb through the skin and get into your body to help with these things. Soaking in warm water alone can help to relax muscles and loosen joints. Adding in essential oils will add even more benefits for your muscles, joints, and skin.

If you don’t want to make a bath salt, you can simply add 3-5 drops of deep blue essential oil to warm bathwater. For best results, soak for at least 20 minutes.
