The question I get most often, when sharing about essential oils, is "What oils do you use when you are sick and how do you use them?" In this post I will discuss both aspects of this question. I'm going to avoid talking about specific ailments and focus, rather, on wellness and supporting our body's immune response naturally. These simple tips have saved us time and resources and allowed our bodies the rest they need to get and stay well!
The Oils
The majority of the oils you will need are included in your Premium Starter Kit! Awesome, right?! So, if you're currently a wholesale member, you have some pretty heavy hitters already in your oily arsenal. In addition to your Premium Starter Kit oils, Oregano, Melrose and Raven are essentials in the winter months. Current members- now is the time to take a little inventory. If you're running low on your lavender, lemon or thieves, you may consider stocking up. It's also good to note that all of these oils, with the exception of R.C., come in the larger 15ml bottle when ordered individually outside of the kit!! 15ml sizes have 300-350 drops per bottle!! So when you reorder, get ready for your big, beautiful, new bottles to arrive!!
How We Use Them
1. For preventative and immune support, we diffuse Thieves in every room of the house. When we are resting and for respiratory support, we like to diffuse any of the following, R.C., Raven or the LLP combo (lemon, lavender, peppermint). We keep the diffuser close and breath in the vapors. Amazing!
2. We make a very simple, yet very powerful, roll-on using Thieves and Oregano. We apply it to the bottoms of our feet a few times a day to support our immune systems when we need it most. In this picture, I was making 15 bottles for a Holiday party where we were to bring our favorite thing to gift to everyone. This is, by far, my favorite thing this time of year!! Hope you all go out and make these! The roller bottles can be found on Amazon and are very inexpensive.
3. Thieves Tea- We make a warm, soothing tea with Thieves, Lemon oil and honey.
Add the following to a mug of warm (not hot) water or warm tea: 1-2 drops of Thieves oil, 2-3 drops of lemon
oil and a tsp of honey. Cinnamon and clove in the Thieves blend go straight to work on soothing your throat.
Drink this as often as you need!
4. Thieves & Oregano Throat Spray- to a 1oz glass spray bottle, also found on amazon, add 4 drops each of Thieves, oregano, lemon and peppermint. Fill with purified water. Shake and spray 6 sprays into the back of your mouth as often as needed. This is a spicy and invigorating blend!
