Essential Oil Recipe For Cuts And Scrapes: Ouchie Roller Blend Tutorial
For minor cuts and scrapes, some essential oils can help support skin healing, reduce the risk of infection, and soothe irritation. Always remember: essential oils should be diluted with a carrier oil (like coconut, jojoba, or almond oil) before applying to skin. This recipe is not appropriate for deep or serious wounds that need medical attention.

Essential oils should always be diluted before use, and individuals may react differently so do a patch test before first use. For deep wounds, persistent symptoms, or medical concerns, consult a qualified healthcare provider.
Ouchie Roller Blend Supplies Needed:
- 10 ml glass roller bottle
- carrier oil (liquid coconut oil, sweet almond oil, olive oil, or grape seed oil)
- Young Living lavender essential oil
- Young Living tea tree essential oil
- Frankincense essential oil
This recipe is a blend of a carrier oil and essential oil for cuts and scrapes. Essential oils are too strong to apply directly to the skin and should be used only in a blend with an oil that is good for the skin. I chose these three essential oils for cuts and scrapes because they have antimicrobial properties and are good for the healing process.
- Tea Tree Oil – Antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Great for keeping cuts clean and reducing infection risk.
- Lavender Oil – Soothing, promotes skin healing, and may reduce scarring. Also calming if the scrape is painful.
- Frankincense Oil – Supports skin repair, has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
How to make your essential oil blend for cuts and scrapes:
Grab your supplies and head to the kitchen counter. Start with your roller bottle and essential oils. Place 1 drop of each essential oil (lavender, tea tree and frankincense) into your glass roller bottle. After the 3 drops of essential oils are added, top your 10 ml bottle off with the carrier oil of your choice. Give a gentle shake and you are ready to use your Ouchie Roller Blend.
The oils in this blend are all great for the skin. This blend is safe to use on children over 5. Do not use these essential oil for scratches if you have never used them before. In that case, you will want to do a small test application on area of skin such as your forearm to test for any allergic reactions first.
These essential oils have antibacterial, anti-infectious and anti-inflammatory properties. This blend helps heal minor cuts and scrapes quickly. Healthline also points out that “Some oils also have wound-healing properties, which may help prevent scar tissue from forming.”
This ouchie essential oil recipe is intended for topical use on minor wounds only. Just gently roll a thin layer of the blend over the affected area. Use 3-4 times a day on cut or scrape for best results. Watch for improvement and be sure to see a qualified medical professional if you have any questions or concerns.
Conclusion
using essential oils for cuts and scrapes can be a gentle, natural way to support the body’s healing process. Oils like tea tree, lavender, and Frankincense provide soothing, cleansing, and restorative benefits when diluted properly with a carrier oil. While they are not a substitute for medical care in the case of deep or serious wounds, they can be a helpful addition to a first-aid routine for minor skin irritations. With mindful use and safe dilution, essential oils offer a simple, plant-based option to care for your skin naturally.
