My mom works in the restaurant business, so I’ve heard of her getting burned quite a few times, but she recently called and said that she got burned really badly and that it almost immediately blistered.  She sent me a picture and I was shocked at how bad it looked. I told her yes!  She was coming to visit me a week after the burn happened and said that she would use the antibiotic burn cream she hand until then.  

The week passed and visit day came.  She showed me her arm and I couldn’t believe how bad it still looked. We quickly whipped up a blend of Peppermint, Melaleuca, and Lavender oils in a carrier oil (we used olive oil because that’s what I had on hand, but I would recommend fractionated coconut oil for added healing benefits). We applied this every 4-6 hours during the day. She was only visiting for two days, so we took another picture when she was leaving and you could noticeably tell a difference.  She then sent another picture three days after she left and I was blown away by how amazing it looks.  

I highly recommend this blend based on the results I’ve seen first-hand.

3 drops of Lavender Essential Oil

**Update — At the time of writing this post, we were informed that ingesting oils was safe.  Since that time, we no longer believe, and fully discourage, the consumption of internally ingesting any oils for any reason unless you are under the direction are care of a certified aromatherapist/herbalist.  Please do not internally consume this recipe. 

Mercury, formaldehyde, egg protein, sugar….The list goes on.  These are just a few of the ingredients listed on the CDC’s website that go into the flu shot that millions of people receive every year.  I, personally, do not want to be putting things like this in my body, but more importantly, I don’t want to compromise Baby Skibbles developing immune system at such a young age. And I don’t even want to talk about flu shot side effects. So, I started looking for flu shot alternatives.

One of the reason’s we started using doTERRA certified therapeutic grade essential oils was because we wanted a natural way to combat illnesses in our home.  Flu season is currently in full swing and my personal Facebook page is full of friends and family talking about illnesses their family is going through. But all of this can be solved by combining just a few different oils.

What you need:
10 drops of Oregano Essential Oil
14 drops of Melaleuca Essential Oil
14 drops of On Guard Essential Oil
18 Drops of Lemon Essential Oil
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Roll on Bottle

Combine in the roll on bottle and then you have 3 ways to use:

• Diffuse into the air using a diffuser
• Roll onto the soles of feet
