Natural Baby Oil

The blend of Lavender and Mandarin is not only beneficial to the skin, but

is relaxing and can calm a baby along with the massage given as you apply the

oil.

 

Mix ingredients in the chosen container. Shake well to blend oils.

1 tablespoon vegetable oil or glycerin (sweeter flavor)

In a small bottle, mix the Clove Essential Oil with the vegetable oil or

glycerin and shake till well-blended.

 

Essential Oil Tip

***************

 

You can add your favorite Essential Oils to lotion! I would use a pure and

natural lotion. You can use a single oil or a blend of oils to give your

lotion a personal touch! Essential Oil qualities are stronger in a

carrier oil, so

I would mix the oil and lotion thoroughly. I would also add a little more

Essential Oil drops to the lotion than what I would use in a carrier oil.

 

You can also add Essential Oils to your daily facial regime by adding

Essential Oils to your facial lotion or creme. Essential Oils are one

of the best

ways to keep your skin healthy and younger looking.

 

Essential Oil Success Story

***********************

 

I closed the motor home door on my thumb and it was hurting so bad on the

way home. I carry a small bottle of the TEI FU OIL with me all the time, so I

put a few drops on my thumb and rubbed it in for a minute and it quit hurting

and hasn't hurt since and isn't even sore. There's only a very small blue

spot under my nail. --- Virginia D.

 

Essential Oil Q & A

*****************

 

Q: If I already have bergamot and a lemon mix in my diffuser, is it ok to

add tea tree oil in as well to help fight a cold and congestion? What I am

really wondering is, is it dangerous to put certain oils in a diffuser together

or can I mix any of the ones that I may current have?

 

A: It is ok to add Tea Tree oil to the Bergamot & Lemon essential oils.

Bergamot mixes well with most essential oils & Lemon is great with Tea

Tree Oil.

I like to experiment with mixing different essential oils. There are some

that work better with certain oils than with others. Just let your nose be the

guide! If you don't like the smell when you mix them, your body probably

doesn't need that mixture. So have fun with it, you can even discover your own

recipes that way.

 

P.S. Tea Tree will definitely " drown out " the scents of the other two oils,

but if you need the properties of Tea Tree, there is nothing wrong with a

dding that oil. It might be recommended that you keep an AromaBall

for such uses,

so you can easily target a room with a specific oil.

 

Q: I have been studying the last few months about the many different things

the essential oils can help. The only thing they don't tell you is how to use

it. Sometimes they will say diffuse or put in a base oil but for the most

part, they just list all the things each oil can do. Is there a general guide?

Am I to assume if it doesn't say, that means put in a base oil and massage

or that I should be diffusing? Thanks.

 

A: There are so many ways to use Essential Oils, so there is no general

guide. If it doesn't say, I would use it the way that works best for me. I like

to use Essential Oils in my bath. I also love the Aromaball Diffuser. I

wouldn't apply most of the Essential Oils directly to my skin, I

would dilute them

in a carrier oil. If I'm having stomach problems I like to apply a recipe

directly to my stomach. To help me sleep, I like to spray a mixture of Lavender

Oil & distilled water on my pillow. If I'm stressed I like to put some

Chamomile in my bath then put some on an Aromaball Diffuser in my room. For

headaches, I rub Tei-Fu Oil directly on my head & directly on my

shoulders without

a carrier oil. I also use the Peppermint Oil direclty on my skin for

headaches or sinus problems. I like to put a drop of Peppermint Oil

in my water to

help digestion. So, really you can use the oils in several different ways, &

the best method would depend on the recipe & what you want to accomplish with

it!

 

Some other ways to use Essential Oils:

 

The Nebulizing Diffuser is a good way to get the most out of your Essential

Oils. However, I would not put a carrier oil in this diffuser. You can also

add Essential Oils to humidifiers, or lamp rings. You can also you a bowl of

boiling water, add 1-9 drops & allow to penetrate the room. One drop of an

Essential Oil can be used on a tissue or handkerchief, & you just sniff it when

you like. These are just a few of the many methods to use Essential Oils!
