Bug Bites!! We all get them. We all hate them. I know we all wish we had something to help. I shared a roller bottle blend to help get some relief last week but this week, how about a paste!!! If you have a bite that you just cannot get relief with a roller, try this amazing paste!!!
The paste will harden and will then easily flake off. Rinse the bug bite and apply coconut oil to soothe, along with another drop of essential oil if extra relief is needed.
That’s it! Do this a couple of times daily or as needed, until the swelling and itching goes down.

- 1/4 cup doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil

1. Combine all ingredients in glass spray bottle or purple continuous mister (found in your doterra online account).

Tip: Shake before each use to incorporate all ingredients. Spray onto skin as needed and enjoy its soothing benefits.

Fill 15ml bottle about 3/4 full with fractionated coconut oil.

Add the following essential oils:
3 drops lavender
3 drops peppermint

​Feeling a like congested?  Here’s a great way to up-cycle your empty essential oil bottles to help support clear breathing

Fill an empty essential oil bottle with Epsom salt.
Add 4 drops of essential oil. Try 1 drop each eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon, and lavender. Breathe also works great, but you can also use peppermint or eucalyptus.
Shake to mix well.
Make sure you replace the cap back on bottle in-between uses.

I love this spray. It is great for kids. Make their own little spray bottle with their name on it and have them spray their bedding or pillow before climbing into bed. I like giving this as a gift along with a nice fluffy pillow.

You can use a glass spray bottle, or try using an empty (or almost empty) 15ml essential oil bottle.

Add 2-3 drops of essential oil to the bottle. I love Serenity, but Lavender, Cedarwood, Thyme, Frankincense, or your favorite relaxing oils work well, too.

Fill the rest of the 15ml bottle with distilled or cooled boiled water. (Be sure you leave a little room at the top for the sprayer.)

Add a pinch of Epsom salt, if you have it. (This will help the essential oil to mix a little better with the water.)

Put on the new spray top. (Contact me if you need one.)

Gently shake to mix the water and essential oils.

Forget Sleepytime Tea. This is the bomb!

1/4 cups of Cocoa Butter (or Shea Butter)
1/4 cups of coconut oil
20 drops Lavender (and/or Ylang Ylang)
12 drops Grounding blend 
10 drops Frankincense 
Other oils to use: you can substitute any of the above oils with Ylang Ylang, Roman Chamomile, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Clary Sage, or Calming Blend. All these oils promote relaxation and a restful night’s sleep! You can buy all your Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils by clicking on the "Purchase Products" link above.

Add the coconut oil and the cocoa butter to a small pan and simmer till melted. Let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes. Add the essential oils to the pan and then put it in the fridge for an hour.
You want it to be firm but not too hard. Then whip it on high with an electric mixer until the mixture softens and forms peaks. Another option is to pour it directly into the jar. It won't be "whipped" but still very effective.

HOW TO APPLY:
Take a small pea-sized amount and massage it into your feet or your children’s feet before bed.

1 cup organic solid coconut oil
1 cup organic olive oil
4 tablespoons beeswax pastilles
1/2 teaspoon vitamin e oil (optional)
12 drops each of the following:
Lavender essential oil
Lemon essential oil
Melaleuca essential oil
Four - 4 oz glass mason jars

For convenience and easy pouring, use a glass Pyrex measuring bowl with a spout and handle for melting coconut and olive oils, set it inside a deep saucepan with 3 inches hot water. On low heat, slowly heat the coconut oil, olive oil and beeswax. Melt slowly, be careful not to let any water splash into the oils, this could cause mold issues. Stir occasionally to keep the beeswax melting in.

When the coconut oil, olive oil and beeswax have melted completely, add vitamin e oil (if using) and stir gently. Stir in essential oils.

Fill 1/4 inch from the top of each jar, cover with a paper towel and let sit at least 6 hours until solid. Seal snugly with lid.

Shelf life of All Purpose Healing Salve is approximately 4 to 6 months without vitamin e oil added (preservative). With vitamin e, approximately 6 to 8 months.

Remember, coconut oil will melt at 76 degrees, store in a dark, cool place for best results.
