Bay Rum Essential Oil Diffuser Recipe

Aromathrapy Bay Rum Recipe

Bay Rum is a classic, masculine fragrance that originated in the Caribbean. I'm not an expert on the array of Bay Rum fragranced products that are currently available, but I believe that a number of them nowadays are synthetically fragranced. Traditional Bay Rum products were made by infusing fresh or dried bay leaves and berries in rum as a part of the formulation.

This diffuser recipe is intended to be much simpler. Having said that, Allspice and Clove essential oils, two of the oils in this basic and easy recipe, are skin irritants/sensitizers, and I suspect that Bay can be as well. For that reason, this blend is not intended for topical (skin) application. Instead, enjoy this masculine blend in your diffuser.

Ingredients

Directions

Combine the oils essential together and store in an amber or cobalt glass bottle. Add 1-3 drops of this blend in your aromatherapy diffuser, but be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for usage of your diffuser type and for maximum number of drops to use.

Do Not Use This Blend Topically

Do not use this blend on your skin. It is meant only for diffusion and room fragrancing applications.
