But How Do You Use Them?

Essential Oils are a great way to take your health in your own hands. Honestly we use them for everything now, but it has been a slow grow and incredibly empowering!

We started using oils years ago and really only used them for immunity support, like to beat a cold. But over the last few years, we've begun to incorporate them into daily life. 

Here is a peek at how we use oils each day:

AM

Post shower, slather on some jojoba oil mixed with Frankincense & Lavender on my face (great for sunspots, scars, and wrinkles)

Start the diffusers going provides aromatheraputic support for mood, immunity and air purification:
Adding either Lavender/Lemon/Peppermint (to help combat seasonal sniffles), Thieves (for immunity support and germ control), Lemon/Purification (to clear the air of cooking smells or stale air smell), or Geranium & Lavender (to perk up our morning), or use some different blends depending on the seasons (think pumpkin spice, or christmas scents, etc.)!

Slam 16oz of water with one drop Lemon, one drop Thieves (for immunity and gut health)

For The Kiddos // Immunity Support

Rub a dilution of Thieves/Jojoba oil on the bottoms of their feet.

(before breakfast, and also before bed at night)

Thieves wipes & Thieves hand sanitizer to clean of sticky fingers and public surfaces

In the Laundry

Add geranium & lavender (3 drops each) to our wool dryer balls.

(More on this soon! I recently switched to wool dryer balls from fabric softener and dryer sheets, and I'll never go back!)

In the Dishwasher

Use our Thieves dish soap and dishwasher detergent (or make your own!)

Before I made the switch, I would use store-bought dishwasher detergent but add a drop of Lemon EO which would combat our hard water stains (and freshen up the dishwasher!). You could also use Purification

Cleaning (these are my favorite)

Make your own toxic free All Purpose Spray, Glass Cleaner, Tub Cleaner,  DIY Air Freshener Spray (furniture, bathrooms, etc), Carpet Spot Remover, Wood Floor Cleaner, and Wood Furniture Polish.  Creating my own cleaning products was the catalyst for me to fully immerse into the essential oils community. 

Make your own veggie/fruit spray to clean veggies

PM

Diffuse a calming blend to wind every one down (Peace & Calming & Lavender)

Spray linen spray on sheets, lovies, changing tables, etc. 
In a glass spray bottle, combine Lavender & Roman Chamomile (10 drops each), then fill with purified water.

Use specific roller combos for each of us: Lavender & Frankincense for Wesley's eczema, Panaway, Lavender, & Peppermint for Jayme's Tennis Elbow, Peace & Calming & Lavender to calm Camden for bedtime. 

Honestly, there are so many more wonderful uses for essential oils. 

The important part is that you're using 100% pure organic oils, like Young Living, so you know that there are no fillers or synthetics. Just the potent life-blood of the plant.

I'd love to help you get started if your interested in learning how to use oils!
