25 April 2018

The doTERRA Home Essentials Kit...
Its the most popular kit...and for very good reason. It comes with 10 of the most popular and versatile oils...plus a diffuser. If you add a bottle if Fractionated Coconut Oil to your order (which I encourage yo to do) then you are set to go.
From the moment it arrives you are armed with everything you need ..... I have listed over 90 ways for you to use those little bottles of precious oils...

If you are keen to get started visit my 'How to Purchase' page...


EASYAIR
The Respiratory blend

  • Diffuse ..especially great at night ..and during those times of the year you needs additional respiratory support.
  • Diffuse along with Lavender at night for a great sleep.
  • I love this tip .. don't a have diffuser? add a drop of Easy Air and Frankincense to the palm of your hand... close you fist and breathe through the small opening. A great way to enjoy the benefits of Easy Air.
  • Add a couple of drops to your pillow to assist with easier breathing and for a sound sleep.
  • Dilute with fractionated coconut oil in a 10 ml rollerball and apply to the feet..chest and back as a rub.
  • Diffuse to freshen the air when things smell damp or need a freshen.
  • If you feel blocked through the nose and sinuses...add a drop to your finger and rub along the brow and sinus area.. avoid the eyes. This helps to open up and clear. 
This was my biggest AH HAA! moment when I was first introduced to the oils. We had been suffering with the lasting affects of a flu.... the regular application of Easy Air on our chest and feet really assisted us in returning to health. It was crazy.... it worked so well.


ON GUARD
The protective blend
  • Diffuse each day to give everyone the benefit of some immune protection... but particularly when there some bugs going around.
  • Make a 10 ml rollerball with an immune boost blend - 5 drops each of Frankincense, Tea Tree, Lemon and On Guard topped up with Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO). 
  • Mix 5/6 drops with 1/2 cup of bicarb as an excellent cleaner....great for the bath.
  • Make your own healthy version of 'Sanitizing Hand Gel' (without the nasty Triclosan) - Recipe  HERE 
  • Make your own foaming hand soap -  Recipe HERE
  • Make you bench cleaning spray - 10 drops Onguard..10 drops Lemon in a 250 ml spray bottle topped with water. It smells great and leaves no nasty chemical residue.
  • Diffuse just for that lovely homey smell...the Clove ad Cinnamon oil smells like baking.


LAVENDER

  • Make a 'sleepy potion' (this works a treat in our home) Mix 10 drops of Lavender to a 30 ml spray bottle and top with fractionated coconut oil. Massage in at bedtime.
  • Or mix Lavender with water in a spray bottle and give the bedlinen a mist at night for a beautiful Lavender scent.
  • A few drops straight from the bottle rubbed to feet and chest works equally well.
  • Diffuse at night for a calm and restful sleep.
  • Create an 'ouch' spray in a 30ml spray bottle with 5 drops of Lavender..5 drops of Tea Tree and 5 drops of Frankincense ...top with fractionated coconut oil. Apply to all those little scrapes...abrasions ..cuts...bites and minor burns to assist with the pain and healing.

FRANKINCENSE
