Natural Eye Redness Home Remedy

Always consult your doctor. I am not a medical professional.

Got Irriation? Eyes that are pink can be nothing but a nuisance. They are not pretty or fun. But it happens, so the best thing to do is to get rid of it as quickly as you can.  I do my best to avoid prescriptions in favor of essential oils as a natural treatment. I find this to be a great recipe for my bathroom cabinet. Just 3 Young Living Oils and a little bit of almond oil to create this effective relief  from minor redness without resorting to chemicals.

For relief from minor redness, eucalyptus radiata, lavender, and melaleuca are good oils to use – but I wouldn’t use it on children who couldn’t FOR SURE keep their hands away from their eyes all day long, because if they rub it in it will burn! This mixture goes on the outside of your eyes, away from your actual eye.

Ingredients:

  • 15 drops Eucalyptus Radiata
  • 7 drops Lavender
  • 7 drops Melaleuca
  • 1 Tbsp. almond oil
  • Dropper – I found this one on Amazon that would be perfect for this mixture!

Directions:

Combine eucalyptus, lavender, melaleuca, and almond oil in bottle – shake well.  To use: apply a small amount under eye just above the bone. Rub around the eye area like you are painting on glasses. Repeat as needed throughout day taking care to NOT get mixture inside eye at all.

If symptoms persist, see your doctor.

Homemade Chest Rub

Pin to Pinterest

Always consult your doctor before use or intake. I am not a doctor or medically trained physician.

We are still in the cold and flu season and while I have nothing against modern medicine and we use medicine when needed I prefer to keep chemicals to an absolute minimum. So one thing I can do is replace over the counter items for symptom relief with my Young Living Essential Oils, Juice Plus+ and other chemical free items. While I love the benefit of chest rubs, the chemicals…not so much. So I used a fabulous trifecta of oils to create the same thing minus the icky stuff – Lemon, Eucalyptus, and Peppermint.  These are great for the Winter and Fall Season!

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 8-10 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
  • 8-10 drops Lemon essential oil
  • 8-10 drops Peppermint essential oil

Directions:

  1. Stir coconut oil and essential oils together until very well mixed. You can do this by hand with a spoon or spatula, or with a hand or stand mixer.

To Use:

  1. Apply to chest, below nose and alongside nose- take care to avoid eyes. I also suggest putting this on the bottom of your feet and then slipping on some socks – trust me!

This rub is safe to apply as needed throughout the day.

I recommend storing in a glass jar like a small mason jar because lemon will break down plastic and release toxins into your mixture. This mixture will melt in hot temperatures, I keep mine in the bathroom and it has only softened very little.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Online you can find ENDLESS Elf on the Shelf Accessories, Books, Games and Toys.
