DIY Essential Oil Wellness Blend

This post was initially titled something else. However, after being threatened with legal action by Young Living Oils, I have changed the post title and the blend name. Sorry for any confusion!

DIY Essential Oil Wellness Blend

I was, and still am, a huge fan of a certain essential oil blend that I unfortunately can’t name for legal reasons.

This blend is great for immune support and keeping you well during the cold & flu season.

But I was never a big fan of the price!

So now I just create my own wellness essential oil blend that is very similar to a certain blend I cannot name, and it works just as well while costing about a third as much to make!

If you’re unfamiliar with the story involving this wellness blend, here’s a little bit of history.

During the 15th century, the bubonic plague was spreading throughout Europe and Asia. At that time, there was a group of thieves who were robbing graves.

The thieves somehow never contracted the deadly bubonic plague, even though they were in constant contact with corpses that most likely had died from the disease.

Once they were finally caught and charged, they were offered a deal—share their secret in exchange for a reduced sentence.

The thieves claimed they had worn an aromatic blend of clove, rosemary, vinegar, and other botanicals that they believed protected them while stealing.

I’m not sure how true the story is, but I do know I have had amazing results with this wellness blend!

Cost Comparison: Thieves vs Homemade Wellness Blend

As I mentioned earlier, I really love this essential oil blend that I cannot name.

In my opinion, though, it’s kind of expensive. If you’re a member of the essential oil company that sells this blend, the 15ml bottle costs $39.25—if you’re not, it costs $52.30.

My homemade wellness blend costs me around $14 to make.

The amount it will cost you depends on which brand of essential oils you decide to use to make this homemade blend.

I love Plant Therapy essential oils, and that is what I use most of the time when I make this blend.

If you’re unfamiliar with Plant Therapy essential oils, you can check out my full Plant Therapy essential oils review to learn more about the company.

Occasionally, I will also use Far & Wild or Simply Earth essential oils. It just depends on what I have on hand. Sometimes, it will be a blend of all three brands.

To figure out how much a 15ml bottle of this DIY wellness blend costs, I divided the price of each oil by 250 (the approximate number of drops in each 15ml bottle) and then multiplied that by the number of drops used. I then added the totals to figure out the total cost.

Clove Bud 10ml | $10.99 divided by 166 = .066 x 80 = $5.29

Lemon 15ml | $9.49 divided by 250 = .037 x 72 = $2.73

Cinnamon Bark 10ml | $16.99 divided by 166 = .102 x 40 = $4.09

Eucalyptus Radiata 30ml | $15.99 divided by 500 = .031 x 32 = $1.02

Rosemary 30ml | $17.49 divided by 500 = .035 x 24 =  $.84

Total $13.97

That’s a huge price difference!!! You can save so much money by creating your own homemade wellness essential oil blend.
