I have been using essential oils for about a month now and I have to say, why did I wait to try them out? I have had some great successes with the ones I have used. It is best if you have some supplies before you embark on your EO DIY journey. These are some of the basic supplies that are needed: roller bottles, carrier oil , beeswax, jars, lip balm tubes, coconut oil and shea butter. I bought all my supplies on Amazon or at Bulk Apothecary. Both have a great selection.
Success 1 – I tried Digest Ease from Eden’s Garden. I put some in a roller bottle with carrier oil and roll it on my stomach when I feel any type of nausea. IT WORKS!!! I just love it.
Success 2 – I tried Good Night also from Eden’s Garden. I also put this in a roller bottle with a carrier oil. I roll it on the bottom of my feet when I go to bed and it has really helped me get a better night’s sleep.
Success 3 – I made whipped body butter. It is a great body moisturizer and you only need a small amount. You can put any scent into it that you like.
Success 4 – I made acne stick to use on the occasional pimple that I get. It worked really well and I am going to use it for my 13-year-old son too.
I tried making a DIY diffuser with vodka, water and EOs, but I did not have as much success with that one. My next DIYs with EOs will be magnesium lotion, vapor rub and cleaning solution. I will do another post to share those outcomes. Pinterest is such a great resource for EO uses and it can be a little overwhelming. I will pass on the recipes that have worked for me so that you’ll have an easy reference.
What is your favorite way to use essential oils?
I have been really in to pine and spruce lately in my diffuser, but my all time favorite is lavender.
What are the uses for pine and spruce??? I’m still learning:)
I love essential oils! I use a roller stick with peppermint for headaches. It works fabulously.
I also have a roller bottle blend for headaches:)
Always looking for new ways to use my essentials oils. This is wonderful.
Glad to hear it is useful to you
I use a different brand of essential oils, and I was a skeptic until I used the digestion aid one. AND IT WORKED! I couldn’t believe it! Granted I hate the smell, so for it to work even though I’m cringing at the smell!
I was amazed how well the digest ease worked:)
I also love my essential oils. I love to diffuse lavender or Ylang Ylang in the mornings to get me ready for the day!
Haven’t tried ylang ylang yet…have to put it on my list
I have Young Living’s Digize, which is a similar blend, and it works like a charm! Love my oils!
Wish I had tried EOs a long time ago
It’s amazing how essential oils can be so beneficial to us… thanks for sharing this post!
Love EOs…you are welcome
A friend of mine recently got me hooked on essential oils. I have one for anxiety and I’m completely in love with it. I use it every day and if I use it before I go to bed, then 9 times out of 10, I sleep much better. My mind just feels calmer, allowing me to fall asleep and have good dreams. I love them!
They are awesome…wish I had tried them sooner
I hear a lot about essential oils, thank you for giving me something to start with!
This is great! I keep wanting to get into essential oils. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about them. 🙂
They really are as great as everyone says they are:)
I need something to add in my night time routine. Awesome post!
Just got an electric diffuser so hoping that will add to some good zzzzz’s at night with EOs
