Tips for fall essential oils

Hello there!

I think it’s safe to say: Fall is here in Turku. We have colder mornings and evenings. Fall leaves are not yet yellow. Nor the overwhelming work with the rake yet here.

Here are some tips for using essential oils in fall time:

Colds

Couple of drops of f.e eucalyptus, peppermint, doTerra’s Onguard blend (it has wild orange peel, clover and cinnamon bark). I need a pick me up, when I am having a cold. I love doTerra’s Motivate oil blend. It has clementine, peppermint and coriander. It’s my favorite even without a cold right now.

Light and joy to the tired ones

During the dark nights of winter, rosmary and pine tree smells reliese noradrealin, which can help for tiredness. You can add couple of drops of them diluted on to your skin or into your diffuser.

Waiting for Christmas

Two drops of cardamom mixed to your skin lotion, helps to get your liquids moving. Cardamom also has warming sensation, that feels wonderful in your cold feet. Cardamom can be mixed to cinnamon bark during Christmas or to some citrus, if you want a pick me up.

New flu recipe with essential oils

Hello!!

Just when I thought that the flu season was over and getting rid of my hay fever, I got the worst flu and my throat was really bad. I had also horrible ear ache, even though my ear was complitely healthy. My doctor forgot to give me any meds, but not to worry I had some of my own! I used doTerra’s Breath essential oil blend in my diffuser, that has peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon and melaleuca in it. Internally I used (and still use until I’m 100%) doTerra’s Onguard capsules, that improve immune defence.

For the skin, I found this great recipe (you can mix all of these things into a 10 ml glass roller bottle):

1 drop of doTerra’s Frankincense oil
1 drop of doTerra’s Oregano oil
2 drops of doTerra’s Onguard oil
2 drops of doTerra’s Melaleuca oil (tea tree oil)

Mix fractionated coconut oil to the rest of the bottle or some other carrier oil.

Natural bug repellent and help for bites

Hello!

I have gotten my first mosquito and ant bites this summer. When you are running after a toddler in the bushes, you can’t avoid bugs. They were the inspiration for my this week’s vlog. My recipe for my natural bug spray is here. Essential oils can be used for the treatment of bug bites. Peppermint, tea tree and lavender oils help to treat bites in different ways. Peppermint helps to cool off the burning sensation and reduce infection. Tea tree oil is antiseptic and antibacterial. Lavender helps to calm painful ant bites.

DIY liquid hand soap

I have used homemade hand soaps for years. Natural liquid hand soaps are quick and easy to make. I want to keep all the extra chemicals and additives away from my home. You get enough of them from outside of the home. Many 100% pure essential oils are naturally disinfecting and they bring a natural sent. If you have a sensitive skin, lavender oil is a good choice. Lemon and peppermint are favourites for other people. If it’s the flu season, I use doTerra’s protective Onguard blend that has wild orange, clover, cinnamon and eucalyptus oil in it (or I use ready Onguard foaming hand soap).

Here is my recipe for self made liquid hand soap:

1/3 of the bottle Castile soap (or other natural liquid soap/ doTerra’s cleaning concentrate)
2/3 of the bottle distilled/filtered water
few drops of essential oils

You only need few drops for normal pump bottle.

Focus better with essential oils

I have noticed that I use essential oils more and more, when I write my articles. I have always had some problems focusing that I have learned to live with, but essential oils have definitely brought some extra help, when I need to get my work done. Citrus oils are also wonderful, when you need little energy boost. I always get my diffuser going at my work desk, but I also often put oil blends to my wrists.

Frankincense, sandalwood and lime bring clarity to those with problems with focusing. Roman chamomile, patchouli and ylang ylang are calming to the mind. Mix drop or two to the table-spoon of coconut oil and rub it to your temples or back of the neck. You should also inhale the oil blend couple of times before you put it on to your skin. You can also put couple of drops to your diffuser. doTerra also has an oilblend called Intune that you can use for this purpose.

Lack of motivation and frustration

If you are having trouble with focusing because of lack of motivation or you are feeling frustrated: Peppermint, peel of clementine and coriander seed oil give great boost during day or first thing in the morning (you can also use them before competitions). The scent combination is very fresh, clean and minty. Put a drop or two to a table-spoon of coconut oil and on to your wrists. Inhale first. You can also put the oil blend to bottom of your feet or to the diffuser. doTerra also has an oil blend called Motivate.

Natural cough syrup (vlog)

Hello!

I found a great natural cough syrup recipe that is more gentle to the stomach and to your whole system than the chemical version. I just read a study that said that chemical cough medicines don’t even work 😦 Honey has great health benefits for those who suffer from cough and flu, which I also go through in the vlog.
