Lavender Essential Oil (15 mL bottle)

Retail: $30.92

You pay: $23.50

About:

Lavender is often known as “The Swiss Army Knife” of essential oils because it has so many purposes! It is great for promoting relaxation and supporting restful sleep. In addition, it supports healthy skin, and therefore can be added to many beauty products. It takes 27 square feet of lavender plant material to make one 15 mL bottle of Young Living’s lavender essential oil! Young Living’s lavender is potent and pure!

Uses:

• Apply lavender directly to the wrists, temples, or back of the neck to promote relaxation or healthy sleep.
• Before you go to bed, place a drop or two of lavender in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together, and then rub your hands over your pillow.
• Make a lavender pillow spray by putting 6 to 8 drops of lavender in a 2 oz. spray bottle filled with water.
• Stir a few drops of lavender into a cup of Epsom salts, and then add to warm water for a relaxing and skin-soothing bath.
• Place your desired amount of lotion into the palm of your hand, add a drop of lavender, stir, and apply to your face or body.
• Make a lavender coconut body cream by mixing ½ cup solid coconut oil, 6 to 8 drops of lavender essential oil, and a teaspoon of vitamin E (optional) together with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Store in a glass jar and apply to skin as desired.

Thieves Essential Oil Blend

Retail: $44.41

You Pay: $33.75

About:

Thieves is a blend of clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary essential oils. When taken internally, Thieves helps contribute to overall wellness and supports healthy immune function. The eucalyptus radiata within the blend also supports a healthy respiratory system. Thieves is a great oil to use all year, but especially during fall and winter!

Uses:

• Add a drop to applesauce to provide immune-supporting flavor.
• Add a drop to apple cider for some added spice and wellness.
• Make "Thieves tea": 1 drop Thieves, 2 drops Lemon essential oil, warm (not hot) water, and honey to taste.
• Add a drop of Thieves to a spoonful of honey for quick and easy immune system and respiratory support.
• Add a few drops with a carrier oil (coconut, olive, almond, etc.) to an empty vegetable capsule to take internally.
• If you have a diffuser, diffuse to make your house smell amazing!
