1. Lavender

The Romans used lavender oil for bathing, cooking and purifying the air.
Lavender essential oil is great for soothing you when you’re stressed,
calming down crazy kiddos and helping you ease into peaceful sleep.
But did you also know it’s great for burns? And that it soothes irritated
skin? It even takes the sting out of bug bites and makes for some great
head/neck tension relief.

Ways to Use …

Add 5 to 8 drops (depending on your preference) to 2 oz. of water
in a mini spray bottle and spritz on pillows and linens before bed.
Mix 2 drops each lavender and frankincense in 1 tablespoon
coconut oil and apply to temples to take away head/neck tension
and relieve stress.
Apply neat (undiluted) to fresh cuts, scrapes and wounds to speed
healing and kill bacteria.
Add 5 drops to a homemade cleaner for antibacterial properties.
Diffuse 5 drops in your house to promote peace and calm.
Add 2 to 3 drops to one cup of epsom salts and stir into a hot bath
for extra relaxation.

2. Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is a fast-growing evergreen tree native to Australia. As an

also used as an expectorant and can be diffused in the air for
respiratory issues.

castile soap and hot water to the mop bucket to clean your floor.

spray bottle full of water and spray down your shower after each
use to inhibit mold growth.

3. Lemon

Lemon is the ultimate essential oils for Christmas dehumidifier, popular because of their refreshing

purifying properties make it a powerful addition to homemade
cleaners. And its skin-soothing properties work wonders on rashes.

Ways to Use …

infections naturally. (This is the only reason I’ll use it on my kids,
otherwise I keep it out of their reach – make sure they do not
ingest it.)

Add 1 to 2 drops to your homemade shampoo and hair rinse.
