Cleaning Using Essential Oils

admin — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 04:33:11 +0000

Replacing unsafe and harsh-smelling chemicals in your home by using essential oils is one of the many benefits of using essential oils!
Here are a few cleaning tips:

Dishwasher:
Add a few drops of essential oils to your dishwasher and clean more than just your dishes! Suggested oils for your dishwasher: lavender, melaleuca, lemon, or wild orange.

Laundry:
Add a few drops of essential oils to your laundry and enjoy a fresh smell as well as a very effective disinfectant! Eucalyptus kills dust mites (dust mites feed on our dead skin cells and leave 10x their body weight in fecal matter behind every day, and we are lucky enough to be allergic to their waste!) add 5 or more drops to each load of laundry. Add your favorite smelling essential oil to a dryer sheet and make the whole load smell fantastic!

Surface cleaners:
Use as plastic spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of any citrus essential oil or a defense blend to disinfect your kitchen and bathroom surfaces. You can also add a few drops of your hand dish soap to the mixture for a more soapy cleaner. Suggested oils: (for a medium to large spray bottle) 3 or more of any of the following – lavender, lemon, grapefruit, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, thyme, onguard, citrus bliss, or melaleuca. Be sure to shake the bottle at the beginning of and throughout cleaning since the oils will separate from the water.

Floors and carpets:
*For non-carpeted floors, add a 1/4 cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water. Add 5 drops of lemon or melaleuca. For a really dirty floor add several drops of dish soap to the mixture- this will clean even the dirtiest floors!
*Carpet freshener- 10 or more drops of essential oil in a cup of baking soda or borax powder. Seal in a container over night to allow the oils to absorb into the powder. Sprinkle over carpet and vacuum up. Or, in a water based filter system like in a Rainbow vacuum, just add essential oils to the water basin! In a system with a bag or canister, add essential oils to a rag and place in the bag or canister.

Deodorize Kitchens and Bathrooms:
Add any of the following oils to a spray bottle (shake throughout use): a few drops of each, rosemary, lemon, eucalyptus, and lavender or the blend Purify.

General cleaning and disinfecting:
Add any or all of the following oils to cleaning water: orange, lemon, or peppermint.

Good luck and happy cleaning:)

Treating Allergies and Hay Fever

admin — Tue, 05 May 2009 04:49:50 +0000

Allergies affect millions of people. Anything from hay fever, eczema or asthma are the most common reactions associated with allergies. When allergens enter the body, it can elicite the allergic reaction that we are familiar with; runny nose, sneezing, congestion or even sinus build-up and pressure. This is a common reaction to substances like grasses, weeds, pollen, pet dander, mold, fungus and even dust mites.

To help fight these airborne allergens, a diffuser will help the most. Diffusing lemongrass, melaleuca or On Guard (guarding blend) can fight against allergy causing fungi and molds. Building the immune system by ingesting lavender, peppermint, and lemon can work wonders. Be sure your essential oils are 100% pure before you ingest. Be sure the label doesn’t say “do not ingest”. DoTERRA essential oils are 100% pure and safe to ingest.

One other way of combating allergies is to make a water spritz of lemongrass or another combination of oils. Use this spritz on bedding each night to kill potential fleas or dust mites.

Using Essential Oils for Skin Conditions like Eczema

admin — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 04:29:07 +0000

Lavender is great for skin, and the major plus to Lavender is that it is an all around first aid kit in a bottle. It works for almost everything! Calming, soothing for skin, cuts, burns, ear aches, the list goes on and on! Buying a lavender scented cream or lavender oils won’t cut it, essential oils are the purest form of oils on the planet and they can cure everything short of cancer…for now…and they are totally safe and most can be used topically, internally and aromatic (inhaled). The only place you wouldn’t want to put them is on your eye ball!

Melaleuca (or tea tree oil) is probably the best thing specifically for skin treatments. It’s revered for its cleansing and regenerative properties, especially for the skin.

You could also use Geranium. Geranium offers outstanding benefits for soothing skin and is a common ingredient in many skin care products. Also useful for joint support and tempering minor aches and pains, geranium’s calming effects make it a popular choice for many essential oil users. For aromatic or topical use.

Coconut oil is what I use with all of the oils that I apply topically. It helps it spread further so I get more use out of my oils. Coconut oil in itself is amazing for skin. Here is the info on coconut oil: dōTERRA’s Fractionated Coconut Oil is an all-natural carrier oil that readily absorbs into the skin making it an ideal oil for topical therapies. Its feather-light emollient effect provides a soothing barrier without clogging pores and is excellent for dry or troubled skin. It leaves skin feeling silky smooth, not greasy like other vegetable carrier oils. It is completely soluble with all essential oils and is colorless, odorless, and will not stain or go rancid. For topical use.

Diet change
Lysine is an essential amino acid, meaning that we must get it through food or supplements because the body can’t make it on its own. It’s used to make protein, which we need to produce infection-fighting antibodies, enzymes, hormones, and body tissues. Lysine has been found to inhibit the spread of the herpes simplex virus.

Lysine is in Milk, eggs, red meat, brewers yeast, fish, wheat germ, cheese

Avoid the following; peanut butter, almonds, chocolate-these contains the amino acid Arginine, which competes with Lysine for being absorbed in the intestines.
