Warming body oil is simple, homemade massage oil that uses natural ingredients to create a product that rivals even the most expensive commercial massage oils. Making your own massage oil has several benefits, including saving you a lot of money over buying retail oils. Homemade massage oil also eschews the use of unnecessary fillers and preservatives present in many commercial massage oils. This recipe makes enough massage oil for about 15 applications, but it is easily doubled or tripled for more uses or as gifts.

Combine the coconut oil, juniper and ginger root essential oil in a sterilized glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake gently, and let the mixture infuse for about 24 hours.

Add the rosemary and lavender essential oils, and shake gently for 30 seconds. Replace the lid, and store in a cool, dry place for 72 hours.

Shake the jar to combine its contents. Transfer the mixture to a clean glass bottle with a fine-spray mister, using a clean plastic funnel.
