Essential Oil Homemade Goodness!!

Look at all the cool stuff I made recently!!

I made more cracked heel cream for hubby, and lip balms for everyone.I made some skin firming lotions, one for morning and one for evening use. I also made a roller ball with some dragon time and carrier oil to make it easier to apply.

We all love the lip balms and my daughters lips have stopped peeling so badly, so she is really happy about that.

Not sure if the firming lotions are actually firming anything yet.Will need to wait longer for those results, but my skin feels amazing with all the extra moisture and healthy oils it is getting.

I love the dragon time but putting it in the roller ball made it so much easier to apply which is a big plus for me.

I found this infographic on pinterest but it didn't link to the page so if this is yours let me know so I can give you credit.

R.C. Essential Oil

 Last night I had a sore throat and was stuffed up, so I headed to my oils. Have  I said before how much I love my oils?!?!?!?!

What I did was to take 4 drops of R.C. and rubbed it onto the soles of my feet and chest.

I had the best sleep last night and I woke up feeling amazing. I will be using this oil a lot more.

RC is a unique blend of Cypress, Spruce, and three types of Eucalyptus (E. globulus, E. radiata, and E. citriodora) oils. It also includes the naturally occurring constituent limonene. Add to massage oil to create a spa-like, soothing atmosphere during massage. When applied topically to the chest or feet, it helps support a healthy respiratory system. Add 4 drops to feet prior to bedtime.

Why Choose Young Living?

Why choose only Young Living?

There are no standards for therapeutic-grade essential oils set by any government agency in North America. Hence, labeling fraud is rampant. To ensure you are getting therapeutic grade oils, you need to know your grower, your distiller, your packager, and your distributor, because anywhere along this chain of delivery, oils can be compromised.

For example, a common practice is to take a decent grade of essential oil and dilute it 90-95% with an odorless, colorless solvent. Such diluted oils often carry labels saying “Genuine” or “100% pure, which is allowed by the US FDA.

In Europe the ISO (International Standardization Organization) in Geneva, Switzerland, a world wide federation of national standard bodies drawn from 130 countries, has adopted the AFNOR (Association Francaise de Normalizaion) and AFNOR-EC (Association Francaise de Normalization - European Commission) standards for essential oils as the international standard.
There is only ONE North American company that routinely sends oil samples for independent AFNOR testing, yup... that is Young Living. There is only one company that truly owns its own farms and controls every single thing that happens on those farms. Better than organic, we offer you the worlds highest quality essentials.

In addition to meeting AFNOR standards, therapeutic grade oils must also be organically grown, unadulterated, properly distilled, and meet other criteria ..... which Young Living Essential Oils do.
Young Living also has over 51 therapeutic grade oils labelled as Natural Health Products with Health Canada. WOW! This is because they work as they are labeled to work.

These are just a few of the reasons we only use Young Living oils. More then just a brand, you are joining a family, a family on a mission to help improve everyone's mental and physical health.

Homemade Breath Spray

My husband always thinks his breath stinks, so he likes breath fresheners, gum or sprays. He decided he wanted one without the chemicals, and that is where essential oils come in.

I made him a bottle of all natural breath spray. He loves it!!!!

I decided to use some wintergreen essential oil and some peppermint essential oil, since he likes both of them. I used a 2oz spray bottle, because that is what I had on hand. If you want it to last longer use distilled water, I didn't have any on hand so I just boiled some tap water to remove impurities and then let it cool.Next time I am at the store I plan on grabbing some distilled water for any other recipes I try though.

Homemade Breath Spray

1 tbsp water
3 drops peppermint essential oil
3 drops wintergreen essential oil

Add everything to the spray bottle and shake before using.

My husband wanted it stronger so I ended up adding another drop of peppermint to it, but I found it too strong that way. If you do want to add more, just be sure to only add 1 extra drop and try it, after each addition because it will get strong really fast since the oils are so concentrated.

Cracked Heel Cream

My husband gets horribly cracked heels, they get so bad that the skin splits and bleeds. When he walks barefoot across carpet it sounds like velcro being ripped up every time he lifts his foot and his socks get stuck in the cracks. It is extremely painful for him.

He has tried almost every lotion and cream on the market and nothing seems to help at all. So I decided to attempt to make him something that would help using my essential oils.

It worked!! These pictures were taken 3 weeks apart. He is still using it to continue the healing but this is a huge change for him. He is so excited and keeps asking me what I am going to make him next with the oils.

 

Amazing!!!

Here is the recipe I came up with.

Cracked Heel Cream

3/4 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup vitamin E oil 

12 drops melalueca(tea tree) essential oil

12 drops geranium essential oil

12 drops lavender essential oil

Whip everything together really well. Store in sealed jar.

The coconut oil I get at Costco, the vitamin E oil I bought on Amazon,and all my oils come from here. You can shop as a customer or sign up as a member to save some money.
