I was skeptical about the power of essential oils. I decided to buy some cheap ones over the Internet and liked them. Ok let me tell you I started with the $275 kit. This kit is awesome because it has everything you need to start and treat basically everything that you can think off. It comes with a mix of single essential oils like lavender, Frankincense and Melaleuca. But it also comes with some of their proprietary blends like OnGuard and Breathe. Now that I was set with a good amount of oils let me tell you what I used them for.

Lavender: ok I use it for EVERYTHING. To help the kids go to sleep, I use it to treat her eczema, I use it to make everything smell nice.

Lemon and Melaleuca: I mix these two with vinegar and use it to clean every surface of my home. It cleans and disinfects but it also makes it smell super fresh.

Peppermint is one of my favorites! One drop of doTerra Peppermint oil has the same effect at 28 cups of peppermint tea! CRAZY! Well I use it in my tea, to diffuse. Because we live in NYC and there are bugs everywhere I also have a spray bottle with Peppermint and water and spray it all over the house to keep rodents and roaches away.

OnGuard: This is basically you’re all in one. This can be used for everything and anything you can possibly imagine. I have been using it as my hand sanitizer.

Breathe was a key oil during this winter. I also mix a bit of Breathe and Peppermint with coconut oil and make my own version of a vapor rub.

Another reason I love essential oils is because I have scent sensitivity. I can’t stand perfume, but the oils are so pure and natural that they don’t bother me at all. If you want to have an idea of all the incredible things you can do with oils check out this Pinterest board.
