Favorite DIY Recipes with Essential Oils

Mar

08

This month I have had the chance to make a TON of different items using Essential Oils for gifts and for myself. When I first started using essential oils, I just did not understand how they worked and it was overwhelming. But after researching and trying things out, I learned that it actually isn’t overwhelming at ALL once you just start. So this post is all about sharing some fun ways to use oils that I’ve learned & to really simplify how to use oils.

First up:

Thieves Throat Spray!! 
Perfect for the ickyness that winter so often brings, and oh-so-easy to make!!

Here’s what you need:
– One 1oz amber glass spray bottle. (You can get packs of 10-12 for a great price on Amazon)
– 10 drops Thieves Vitality
– 5 drops Peppermint Vitality
– 5 drops Copaiba Vitality
– 5 drops Lemon Vitality

A few drops of honey or agave (optional) 
Fill with distilled or filtered water

Add oils to the spray bottle & fill to top with water. Shake each time before use because oil sits on top of water ๐Ÿ˜‰ and spray!!!

Relaxing Bath Salts!
You will need:
-Glass jar/container (these super cute ones are from Target for $1.00!!)
– 1/2 c epsom salt (this is an estimation! You just need enough to fill the jar!)
– 5-6 drops of Peace & Calming, Stress Away or another relaxing Essential Oil
 
Fill jar/container half way with epsom salt.
Add 2-3 drops of essential oil.
Fill the rest of the jar up with epsom salt.
Add 2-3 more drops of essential oil.

Thieves Stain Stick

You will need:
– 30ml roller
– 1-2 capfuls of Thieves household cleaner
– Match the amount with Thieves Laundry Detergent (Thieves Dish Soap also works well)
– 15 drops of Lemon
– Optional: splash of Hydrogen Peroxide (isn’t safe for colors necessarily, but does wonders on whites!)

Fill with Distilled Water and shake

Sleepy Time Roller!
What you will need:
-1 glass roller bottle (My new obsession are roller bottles from Whimsy and Wellness)
-Carrier Oil
-Peace & Calming, Valor, Cedarwood and Lavender Essential Oils (3 of which come in your Premium Starter Kit)
 
Fill your roller bottle 2/3 with carrier oil and then add in 5-7 drops of each of the oils. (You can top off with more carrier oil if needed) Put the roller ball on your bottle, and add your lid.

So there you have it. Three of my favorite (and SUPER DUPER easy) DIYs with Essential Oils
