#5Faves: Essential Oil Tricks

January 6, 2015 By Jenna 13 Comments

Lots of Qs in my inbox about using oils, so here are some of my favorite tips for getting your crunch on. As you’ll read, I use Doterra, but these tips work for the oils closest to your heart. If you’re looking for more info, check out what I’ve written about oils, browse my easy getting started guide, or check out one of my favorite sites for looking up info.

Essential oil uses that you can DIY or purchase on the cheap. Use with doTerra, Young Living or any oil of your choice. I love my Drops of Joy jewelry - find out where to get one for yourself.

 

-1-

Diffuser Necklace: A diffuser necklace is an easy way to keep your favorite oils close all day. I use one from that link I loved you with. Just a couple of drops of Balance and Serenity inside, and I have them calming me throughout the day.

-2-

Makeup Removal: Use fractionated coconut oil (FCO) for makeup removal. If you are out of Kirkland makeup remover cloths (my true fave) or just looking for a more chemical-free option, use FCO on a cotton ball to take off your makeup. Seriously works like a freaking charm.

-3-

Diffuse TriEase: During allergy season, I put equal drops of peppermint, lavender and lemon in my diffuser to take the edge off itchy eyes and sneezing. You can also make a roller bottle of this to travel with. Just apply it to your hands, rub together and inhale.

-4-

Roller Bottles: I make up roller bottles topped off with FCO for a few reasons. First, it makes putting them on the kids easier. I don’t have to dilute with FCO before putting oils on them; they are already ready to go. I also like to put smellier oils in bottles; I don’t like those on my hands all day, so I roll them on. Finally, I can travel with oils more easily when I mix some in a roller bottle. I always carry a 1:1 drop ratio + FCO bottle of Balance and Serenity in my purse for panic attacks.

-5-

Beat Winter Sick: Combine regular use of OnGuard with a dose of elderberry syrup. Separately. We do this everyday, and so far so good. Jinx, be gone with you.

    I’ve been looking more into essential oils. My mom did them for awhile with midwifery and they use them during and after my labor/birth/postpartum & give me some, but I’m not all that knowledgeable with it. I do use coconut oil to remove my makeup, best decision I ever made. Thank you for the info & for the link up! newbie here.

    Oregano oil is my current favorite. It’s a really hot oil, so I have to dilute it quite a bit, but last week my 2 y/o had a fever and stomach flu so traditional fever reducer wasn’t an option. I rubbed coconut oil with a few drops of oregano in a few spots and the fever broke within the hour. It’s worked both times I’ve used it on her for illness/fever and I’m willing for it to smell like spaghetti in my house if we can help with fevers!

    Thanks for this… I’m clueless when it comes to this kind of thing.

    I love ther roll-on essential oils. IPlant Therapy has a bunch of different roll-ons and they are awesome. I espeially love Frankensence roll-on. I use it on my face and my almost teen uses it on her face to treat any blemishes. It reallly does clear them up!

    Great post. Another trick is to make sure that the diffusion method Nebulization. It’s the only method of diffusion that produces a particle size of 3-5 microns, which is small enough to reach deep inside the lungs. You can read more about one on https://richaromas.com. Nebulizing Diffusers contain no plastic parts that would corrode when in contact with pure essential oils and don’t use any heat or water.
