Essential Oils

Health: Another Option....Essential Oils

Along the road with my son's health, I have stumbled across essential oils. I hadn't heard of them before other than the occasional use of eucalyptus oil for getting stickers off the fridge and lavender oil in the washing machine rinse cycle instead of toxic-chemical-laden conditioners.

My favourite essential oils:

On Guard

Contains: Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary offers a fragrant, natural and warm scent safe to use on counter tops, or to diffuse in your home. We use as an immunity blend in the house during Winter and when there are colds hovering at work or kinder. I also use a couple of drops in a glass roller with fractionated coconut oil and put on the kids at night and before kinder/work. 

Balance

A grounding blend, containing Spruce, Ho Wood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy and Blue Chamomile with fractionated coconut oil. A lovely fragrance.

Lavender Peace

Contains: Lavender, Sweet Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood and vanilla bean. Our family uses to diffuse at bedtime. Can be added to epsom salts prior to adding to a warm bath to create the perfect escape with its peaceful, renewing fragrance.

Tea Tree

Known for its cleansing properties - has many uses. We use for disinfecting and on woulds to cleanse. 

Lavender

Also has many uses. We use as an antibacterial and a few drops in my beeswax/shea butter/coconut oil/olive oil moisturiser that I make at home. 

Frankincense

I had heard of frankincence but until recently, I never knew this was an essential oil. I put a couple of drops of this in with On Guard in the diffuser / roller bottle, as well as a few drops in the facial scrub/moisturiser that I make (coconut oil/raw honey/coconut sugar). 

Diffusers 

Cold diffusers are another method to use oils around work or at home. I have one downstairs and one in each bedroom for the kids. These are fantastic to diffuse the oils in the air. I have one on going nearly 12 hours a day when we are home. I use during Winter and when illnesses are in our local community, when studying, when cleaning, and during the evening prior to bedtime.
