Roller bottles are a great way to do simple topical application of essential oils for daily use. They make diluting your oils quick and easy while saving you money. A roller bottle with oils that support rest can help you relax and fall asleep at night. In a 10 ml roller bottle, I recommend 6-10 drops of essential oils for adults (3-5% dilution) or 2 drops for children (1% dilution). Remember, with essential oils, too much oil can actually be over-stimulating and have the opposite effect.
