Essential Oil Water

Pin to Pinterest

Since the new year I have gained a few pounds. Gaining wait can be so frustrating and in my case, I don’t know why it came on. To knock off these extra pounds, I am running a few miles after the kids go to school each day and taking in a lot more water, as well as watching my diet. Did you know that when you are dehydrated, your body retains water which actually can make you bloat?

I decide to add some Essential Oils to my daily water intake. Research has shown these oils can add in detox, suppressing your appetite and boosting your metabolism.* Water also does a good job of delaying the next time I eat by making me feel full!

Ingredients:

20 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
20 drops Lemon Essential Oil
20 drops Tangerine Essential Oil
20 drops Grapefruit Essential Oil
20 drops Citrus Blend Fresh Essential Oil
20 drops Fennel Essential Oil
20 drops Endo Flex (Young Living) or Pine Essential Oil
21 Vegetable Capsules
1 Glass Jar
Optional: 20 drops Lime Essential Oil

Directions:

In a glass jar (I like one with a dropper) mix your essential oils

To Use:

Three times a day place 7 to 10 drops in a vegetable capsule.
Swallow the capsule with water.

This recipe yields about a 7 day supply.

Tangerine Lip Balm with a Touch of Lime!

Tangerine Lip Balm

Pin to Pinterest

We {heart} Lip Balm! This is one our favorites! You only need a small amount for each container so, we make them in bulk to give as gifts at Birthday Parties, Teacher Appreciation and have a stash on hand for ourselves too! We love to use this throughout the day and especially before bed at night. We use Essential Oils and only natural ingredients so there’s no artificial colors, fillers or flavors which puts my mind at ease when the kids want to use it, which is all the time! Give your lips a refreshing treat with this All-Natural Lip Balm. Tangerine and Lime Essential Oils both have great benefits for your body, especially in combination with the coconut & sweet almond oils. The results yield a very soft balm for your lips that leaves them feeling great!

TIP: Have all your ingredients set out ahead of time and read through these directions first so you have an idea of how to do this accurately.

The Tools:

Double Boiler
Measuring spoons & cups
A metal spoon
optional: a knife if you’re using the beeswax that comes in a big brick instead of the pastilles

Ingredients:

1.5 oz. beeswax
2 tbsp. unrefined coconut oil
1 tsp sweet almond oil
15 drops of pure tangerine essential oil
5 drops of pure lime essential oil (use your judgement as to how strong, but the 20 is fairly mild so you can always add another few if you wish)
Lip balm containers – I used the small heart containers for this & it made 22 total.

Directions:

The best way to start is to have your containers already lined up, with the lids removed, as once the wax is ready, it’s a pain to have to rush and do it then.
Next, melt your beeswax in the double boiler over medium heat. Once it starts to boil just put it on a low setting and leave it there as you stir the wax. Stir every few minutes
until the beeswax is fully melted into a nice, smooth with no lumps. (Melting time will vary depending on which type of beeswax you’re using).
Next, add in your coconut oil, and stir until melted fully into wax. Then add your sweet almond oil, & finally the lime & tangerine essential oils.
Leave the water on the lowest setting to keep it warm while you fill, because if it starts to harden at all, you will need to put it back on the water and let it melt again. It will start firming up fairly fast, so I normally have to do this before I get to the end of it.
Now you are just about set! Just let the balm set up for an hour or so & then you can apply your lids & labels!

Enjoy!

Essential Oils Playdough Recipe

Pin to Pinterest

This Homemade Aromatherapy Play Dough is so fun. It is easy to make, leaves the skin soft and has many health benefits. Consider these oils – Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Grapefruit or Orange. You can also make fun blends like Vanilla Lime, Citrus (Orange, Lemon, and Grapefruit), Lemon Mint or Lavender Lemon.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup water
1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil (any kind of oil will work!)
Food coloring
6-8 drops of essential oils of your choice (see blends we share in the post)

Directions:

In a saucepan, stir the flour, salt, and cream of tartar together.
Add in the water, cooking oil, and food coloring and mix until smooth.
Turn on the heat to medium-low, and stir until the mixture forms a ball.
Once the mixture has reached play dough-consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for 3-4 minutes.
Knead in the essential oils of your choice. ( I poked a hole in the center, dropped in the oils and it mixed very easily)
Store in an air-tight container. (Storing it in the fridge will make it last even longer!)

Tip: Are you feeling under the weather? Consider using Thieves Essential Oil.

Homemade Furniture Polish

Pin to Pinterest

One of the things I love about making my own natural cleaners from Essential Oils is that I can use the same things to clean the floor as I use to make a moisturizer for my skin (did you see our Homemade Wrinkle Cream) – they are that safe AND effective. Another thing I love about my EOs, is they go a long way and keep my costs down. This mix makes an excellent conditioning and restorative furniture polish for wood – I have found this recipe also bring new life to cutting boards and wooden spoons too!

Ingredients:

1 oz. Beeswax
½ cup Olive oil
5 drops Orange Essential Oil
5 drops Lemon Essential Oil
Optional: I often add a few drops basil or bergamot for an yummy earthy smell.

Directions:

Place olive oil and beeswax in a small saucepan and heat over medium, stirring frequently until melted. (If you are interested in making your own home and beauty products from essential oils I suggest you purchase a saucepan just for it.)
Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes then stir in Essential Oils.
Pour into a glass container (citrus oils will eat at plastic), small 4 0z. mason jars are the perfect size for this recipe.

To Use:

Scoop some out, and spread on wooden surface, buff with a soft cloth until most of it is removed. To condition cutting boards and spoons repeat the same process.

20 Uses for Thieves Oil

Pin to Pinterest

If you are looking to turn to oils to cut down on the chemicals in your home from cleaning and beauty products I recommend adding Thieves oil to your first purchase. There are so many beneficial uses for it that it is a must in your essential oil arsenal– it is antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, antiseptic, and antifungal.

Here are just 20 of my favorite ways to use Thieves Oil. Don’t forget current Essential Oil Deals.

Floor Cleaner – Add 5 drops to a sinkful of water to help clean and sanitize floors.
All-Purpose Cleaner – Fill a bottle ¾ full of water, fill the rest of the way with vinegar, add 12 drops Thieves oil and spray surfaces, allow to sit 5 minutes, wipe away.
General Disinfectant – Add several drops of Thieves to a bottle of purified water, spray on shopping carts, public toilets, water fountains,etc..
DIY Toothpaste – Combine 2-3 drops with 1 Tbsp. baking soda for homemade toothpaste.
Hand Soap – Add Thieves to your favorite homemade soap (or hand sanitizer) recipe.

Sore Throat Spray – Add Thieves oil to purified water, and a couple drops of peppermint. Shake up in a small spray bottle- spray into back of throat as needed for relief.
Aches and Pains – Combine a tsp. of carrier oil with 2 drops Thieves

Essential Oil Recipes

Pin to Pinterest

es·sen·tial oil noun a natural oil typically obtained by distillation and having the characteristic fragrance of the plant or other source from which it is extracted.

I am your pretty typical mother. My home is a mess, but I try to keep it clean. My pantry has processed food, but I also have some organic vegetables in the refrigerator. My medicine cabinet contains drug-store solutions for headaches and other ailments, but I do my best to live naturally and heal my family by other means before running to the doctor or drug store.

Recently the solution of Essential Oils entered my life. They have relieved bug bites, headaches, running noses, cleaned my home, offered relaxation and even aided in a little weight loss. When my husband, my kids or even I have something wrong, I often hit my reference guide and see how I can offer a solution without using modern day medicine (grab a FREE copy of that Essential Oil reference guide.)

Take a look below of some of the BEST Essential Oil Recipes found on the web – Recipes of Food, Beauty Products, Sanitation, and even Homemade Playdough… I think you will enjoy the different ways, you too, can use Essential Oils in your home.

Essential Oils for The Office

Pin to Pinterest

A day at the office isn’t always the best experience, and some days are just more than we are meant to cope with. Essential Oils are a great way to reduce stress, promote a calm and collected demeanor and boost our moods. When it comes to the office though, especially open offices, the fragrances and scents we use can be offensive, too strong or overpowering for some individuals. Choosing the right essential oil to help us make it through the workday is all about finding the right low profile scent for us and using it in a way that is unobtrusive to others.

Use this guide to help you find an essential oil that you can use on a daily basis at the office.

Thyme Essential Oil

Thyme has one of the lightest scent of all the floral essential oils that you can use, but it is noticeable if you are using it in close quarters. This essential oil is able to act as a stimulant and boost your circulation, so on those work days that you are feeling sluggish or just want the day to be over, this is the option for you. One of the most underrated essential oils, thyme has also been shown to improve memory when used, increasing concentration levels when you need to concentrate the most.

Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot essential oil is the best options for those that like the mood boosting effects of citrus, but need something that is not as crisp or overwhelming. A lot of essential oil users would choose lemon or grapefruit in their homes, but at the office it can come off as overpowering or smell of cleaners. Instead, bergamot is softer, sweeter and easily distilled to a pleasant level of fragrance.

Jasmine Essential Oil

For those of you that enjoy floral scents, but know that lavender is too strong for the office, jasmine is a great alternative. This stimulant is the perfect daily aid to get through long days spent indoors. Like lavender it can also soothe and calm your nerves, with very little needed to feel its positive effects. Add this to a personal diffuser or just apply directly to the neck, arms or near the nose.

Chamomile Essential Oil

While chamomile essential oil can sometimes be used to promote sleep, which is exactly what you don’t want at the office, it is also great for reducing the level of stress that you are experiencing. Chamomile won’t work to make you fall asleep, but it does help calm your nerves so that you can get on with whatever it was you were doing without anxiety overwhelming you. Additionally, chamomile has been used as a traditional medicine for thousands of years to calm anxiety and settle stomachs.
