My website contains a ton of DIY recipes, but the following page contains a selection of our most popular go-tos! Feel free to check out my shopping page for bottles and supplies for making many of my favorites! And be sure to only use Young Living essential oils in our recipes!*
And if you make an oil purchase through my link for the first time, please be sure to let me know right away because I have a free gift for you!
NOTE: *All the oils on my website refer only to Young Living essential oils. This is the only brand I recommend, since so many oils on the market today can actually be toxic.
THROAT SPRAY
I have been known to be a little paranoid about “choking hazards,” so I’ve never been a fan of throat lozenges, especially for children. That’s why this throat spray is my favorite! And it can be used as needed throughout the day or night. I love that!
Throat Elixir
With the new power-packed capabilities of Deep Spectra Phyto Nutrition and added Clove, I feel like this version is far superior to my old recipe! I love using this recipe to demonstrate to women how they can use our oils to take control of their own health, so they don’t have to run to the doctor with their kids every five minutes!
ROOM SPRAY
Why use air fresheners that don’t actually “freshen” the air? Most popular (and expensive) room sprays contain harmful chemicals that mask odors and often give people headaches. Why not make a natural room spray that smells better, is less expensive, and contains heavenly, natural scents, instead of harmful, synthetic chemicals!
Aroma-Therapy dough
This would be a great DIY project for the kids or grand kids! It also makes a great teacher gift, or unique hostess gift! Couple it with a bottle of essential oil and a recipe card! Or just make some for yourself! Use Aromatherapy Dough to de-stress, to relax while in traffic, during study, or take a jar with you to counseling sessions!
Diffuser Bombs
Make some gorgeous diffuser bomb blends to set beside your diffuser for convenient refills!
SOOTHING SKIN BALM
Soothing Cuticle Balm would make a thoughtful gift for the ladies in your life: daughters, mothers, neighbors, teachers, friends. Packed with wonderful nutrients, this balm is certain to bring relief to dry and cracking cuticles!
PERFUME
The more I learned about the way our skin absorbs everything we put on it, getting into the blood stream and wreaking havoc upon our health and hormones, the more I desired to get my hands on the “real stuff.” Thankfully, I found out I could make my own perfume, which is not only healthier and less expensive, it also smells better than the fake synthetic scents I had gotten used to. Ever since I “detoxed” my life, I can’t stand the smell of “synthetic,” and I can detect it a mile away!
LIP BALM
My lip balm recipe is easy, good for you, and great for your lips! And not only is it inexpensive and easy to make, it’s also safe enough to eat (though I don’t recommend taking a bite).
wellness Rollers
Wellness rollers are easy peasy to make and a great way to take your oils on the go, or give to a friend to sample! Here are some of my favorites to do at the end of my workshops and classes.
