How to Make Essential Oil Capsules

Vegetable capsules are a great way for ingesting essential oils!

Empty vegetable capsules can be purchased at health food stores or on Amazon (simply search vegetable capsules).  Most people prefer size ’00’ since they are a little easier to fill than the smaller ‘0’ (although the smaller ‘0’ is easier to swallow for some).

The ’00’ will hold around 15-20 drops of essential oils.

The essential oils will soften the capsules over a few days, so make them fresh often (or do what I do and store them in the freezer).  When you close the capsule ends together, be sure they ‘click’ in place.  This helps keep it from opening up and leaking.

And it’s okay to combine essential oil singles (and singles with blends), but blends shouldn’t be combined with other blends in capsules (or anytime for that matter).
