Popular Essential Oil Blends

Here are some essential oil blends that many people enjoy:

Calming: 10 drops of Lavender, 3 drops of Chamomile, 3 drops of  Sandalwood, and 8 ounces of carrier oil. I make my oil blends stronger and would tend to use less carrier oil than this personally. I suggest starting out by adding an ounce of carrier oil and testing your skin to see if you have a reaction. If you like the intensity and it does not aggravate your skin then make the strength to your liking. This applies for the rest of the recipes as well.

Energizing: 8 drops of Peppermint, 4 drops of Lemon or Orange, and your carrier oil to preference.

Anti-bacterial and anti-viral blend: 5 drops of Tea Tree Oil, 5 drops of Oregano, and 5 drops of Peppermint or Rosemary and carrier oil to preference.

For children under 12 years old and infants only use one oil at a time. Don't blend essential oils. Also, you use a far less quantity of essential oil. For example, for a fever you would only put 1-2 drops of Lavender oil in 32 ounces of water and make a compress for the forehead. If a child or infant is irritable due to fatigue put 1 drop of Lavender in 1 Tbsp. of oil and massage into back and neck.

Bug repellant: Lemon and Eucalyptus repel mosquitoes and ticks. It lasts for 4-5 hours. It is an excellent alternative to DEET since DEET has neurological side effects.


These are just a few recipes for now. More to come in the future! Happy oil blending, healing, and health.

Tea Tree Oil - Essential Oils

Tea Tree Oil, also called Melaleuca, helps to treat skin conditions. It is also one of the best anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-parasitic, and anti-inflammatory aids around. It is an astringent. Tea Tree Oil also helps to open our chest cavities and helps to awaken and enliven us. People have used it to treat acne (5% solution), athlete's foot (10%), and even toenail fungus (up to 100%). Internal consumption is not advised as it is toxic.
I have heard of people putting this in the shower or steam room to open up the sinuses and "clean the air" so to speak. It is also great to add to some Greek yogurt for a face mask. I like blending it with some Lavender Oil as well. I don't do a 50/50 split as the Tea Tree Oil can overpower the Lavender but I will do about a 65/35 blend. I have seen it in some all natural shampoo blends as well. I think I have seen it in some blends that treat dandruff but don't quote me on that. What do you use it for?
