Essential Oils 
and Recipes 
for Personal Use

 

 

Dry Inhaling

Recipe:

2 drops Clary Sage Oil
3 drops Eucalyptus
2 drops orange Sweet or Lemon oil

Add all ingredients and put onto a handkerchief. This is a simple but wonderful way to help when at home or especially, away from home.

Hold your cloth about 3" from your nose and inhale deeply. Now exhale through your mouth.

Bathtub Soak with Oils

Ingredients:

2 drops Rosemary
2 drops Eucalyptus Peppermint
2 drops French Lavender
2 tsp. milk or cream

Add all ingredients to 2 tsp. milk or cream. Pour all of it together into a warm bath and soak.  Feel revived!

Nighttime Help with Colds & Flu

 

Ingredients:

2 drops Tea Tree Oil
2 drops Lavender Oil
Bowl of steaming water

Mix these items together and Let it stand and diffuse into the room.

 

You may also use a candle or oil diffuser.

 

Sinus Congestion

I found a simple but very helpful remedy. Put a couple drops of Peppermint Oil on my hands and rub them together. Then I cup my hands over my nose and mouth and inhale deeply through my nose.

If your sinuses are congested it will be painful for a few seconds, but should soon let us.
"I always feel better when using this method. It is great to use when traveling as well."  

Works for those headaches when they come from your sinus or temples.

This is a good one for indigestion or stomach problems. Usually a quick way for relief.

Recipe for Congestion Helps

Combine the following oils:

2 drops Eucalyptus
2 drops Lavender (French is best.)
2 drops Rosemary
2 drops Tea Tree
2 Tbsp. Carrier Oil

This helps me to loosen congestion, helps fight viral and bacterial infections while lifting my spirits.  Mix all of these together and use as a massage on your chest and back.

I also use a diffuser. So diffuse it or put in a bowl of hot water and breathe in the steam.

NOTE: "I use what oils I have available in my home and find any of them are helpful for me."

 

Lavender Water Spray

10-12 drops of Lavender Essential Oil from Young Living Essential Oils to 4 oz of Distilled Water.

Spray on face or pillow or in air when traveling
will help with relaxation and numerous other health problems. Easy to carry when traveling.

 

I use an electric atomizer at home with essential oils, and I feel it helps keep our immune systems balanced.

Peppermint Essential Oils
for indigestion or respiratory 

2 drops on tongue for indigestion

1 drop on hands rubbed together and breathe in through the nose to clear sinuses and other help with various respiratory problems. It helps to keep germs away.

Diffuse at home  and carry Peppermint Water.

Peppermint Water Recipe
10-12 drops Essential Oil into 4 oz. distilled water.  

Put into dark colored spray bottle and spray air and directly on your face.

A Natural Suave

This suave has no petroleum products
fragrances or food color which may cause allergies in some people.

My Opinion:"These healing ingredients have proven to us to be far superior to other prescription and over the counter Suave for skin problems."

"Dry skin and fungus conditions were cleared up quickly and the cost is minimal in comparison to numerous other medications we used.
Personal care products made of natural plants and herbs give a high level of helpful nutrients to the skin. They nourish, replenish, and rejuvenate. By contrast, synthetic personal care products give no nourishment, and often contain ingredients that are known or suspected carcinogens, such as artificial colors and formaldehyde.

 

Try Beeswax Balm

Ingredients: 
1 Tbsp. Natural Beeswax
¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2-3 Vitamin E capsules 600 units
Essential oils 80-100 drops total

Combine the above ingredients in the top of a double boiler & mix together after melting beeswax.
Once mixed, remove from heat & allow to cool.

When adding essential oils, wait until the oils have cooled somewhat, so they don't evaporate away quickly.

Stir them in completely & pour into a sterile or very clean colored glass jar. Brown or blue.
Cap tightly & label contents.

I used 50 drops of Melaluca Oil,
20 Thieves,
10 drops of Purification,
15 Peppermint.

My husband, Del, doctored for 3 years with a devastating skin problem on his hands. Bleeding and open skin sores, hundreds of bandages. Dozens (over 36) different medications and cream.
Along with this suave, I made a lotion with Cornhusker's hand lotion which is made with lanolin.  I crushed Ibuprofen and added it to the Lotion.

Suave was applied several times a day. Lotion and Latex Free Gloves were worn at night for a week.
