What You Will Need:
To make your own incense cones with essential oils, you will need the following ingredients and tools:
- Unscented incense cones
- Essential oils of your choice (Oshu Oils range recommended)
- A small bowl for mixing
- A non-stick surface, such as a baking sheet or wax paper
- A dropper or pipette for measuring essential oils
- A storage container for your finished incense cones
Step 1: Choose Your Essential Oils
Your choice of essential oils will determine the aroma and benefits of your incense cones. Consider the effects you desire, such as relaxation, stress relief, or increased focus, and choose your oils accordingly. Consult our Oshu Oils guide for details on the specific properties and benefits of different essential oils. You can also create custom blends by combining several oils to achieve a unique and desired fragrance.
Essential Oil Blends for Incense Cones:
Here are some suggestions for essential oil blends that serve different purposes:
- Relaxation Blend: Lavender, Chamomile, and Ylang-ylang
- Energizing Blend: Orange, Peppermint, and Rosemary
- Stress Relief Blend: Bergamot, Cedarwood, and Frankincense
- Focus Blend: Lemon, Basil, and Juniper Berry
Step 2: Infuse the Incense Cones
Important: Wear gloves to protect your skin from direct contact with essential oils.
Place the unscented incense cones in the mixing bowl. Add approximately 3-5 drops of essential oil for every incense cone, distributing the oil evenly using the dropper or pipette. Gently mix the cones with your gloved hands to ensure every cone is coated. If you’re using a blend, add the oils in the desired proportion to achieve the fragrance and benefits you seek.
Note:
The number of drops you add to your incense cones depends on how strong you prefer the aroma to be. You may need to experiment with different amounts to achieve your desired potency.
Step 3: Dry the Incense Cones
After infusing the incense cones, spread them evenly on a non-stick surface, such as a baking sheet or wax paper. Allow the cones to dry for at least 24 hours to ensure the essential oils are absorbed fully and the cones are ready to burn.
Step 4: Store and Enjoy Your Incense Cones
Once your incense cones are completely dry, transfer them into an airtight container for storage. We recommend using your incense cones within three months to ensure optimal fragrance and benefits. Burn your incense cones whenever you wish to reap the rewards of their enchanting aroma and the therapeutic benefits of the essential oils.
