Essential Oils are fantastic alternatives to medicine, skin care, pain relievers and dietary aides, but they can be hard to incorporate into daily life. The hardest part for me when we started with Young Living is wondering how we would use them and if they would just sit in a cupboard taking up space. That's not the case in our house though, and I'm betting it wouldn't be the case in your house either. As long as you have enough information, resources and somebody to ask your questions, these oils can replace so many products you are using everyday with a more natural solution.
So here is how a day of oils looks in our house.
Wash and moisturize my face with frankincense and lavender in my DIY face wash and moisturizer
Lavender in my mascara for healthier and longer lashes
Purification as a natural deodorant (no aluminum in there!)
Lemon in our water to boost
immunity and keep us healthy
We like to add lime sometimes too!
Thieves vapor rub on our
feet to help fight illness
Lavender in the bum cream
to help with those teething rashes
Copaiba on the gums
Peace and Calming on Brynlee's chest before nap (to help with her cough so she can sleep)
Joy in the diffuser (for those stressful and frustrating times)
Panaway and deep relief on my shoulder (from sleeping wrong the night before)
Peppermint on my tummy to soothe an upset stomache
Peace and Calming in the diffuser before bed
Lavender on the neck/feet to help us sleep
Cypress/Marjoram/AromaSiez on Clark's neck before bed to lessen those MS symptoms
That's what our day looked like. Not every day is the same, they all have their new challenges. But if you are ever wondering if you would actually use essential oils, the answer is Yes! And in so many ways you didn't realize you would need them.
