HEADACHE BUSTER

Abagail had a headache.  I found this recipe but it had double the amount of oils.  I thought that was too much so I halved the recipe.  This made it a 22% dilution rate.   Abagail and I thought this smelled like rootbeer.

UPDATE:  I really like this to help with allergies.

In a 10ml put the following drops:
15 peppermint
15 lavender
5 frankincense
5 wintergreen
5 grapefruit (they suggested birch but I don't have that oil)

Apply to forehead, brain stem and back of neck.

PAIN

PAIN
I saw this recipe online where you whip 1/2 cup coconut oil and then add oils.  I like the salve a lot better.  Would probably do something like that next time.  Or maybe I just didn't whip it long enough.  It was too grainy.

I added 10 drops of:
copaiba
clove
helichrysum
wintergreen
peppermint

COULD ALSO ADD BLACK PEPPER

4/2019 UPDATE: I have been putting this mixture and a drop of Copaiba on my knee.  It has really been helping.  Just saw this already has copaiba in it.  Probably don't need that extra drop.

3/16/20 UPDATE: I like this mixture a lot and have used it lots.  It doesn't seem as grainy anymore like at the beginning.  I would put a little bit in my hand then do a drop of Tumeric rub in knee then a drop of copaiba and rub on knee.  I feel like it helped a lot.  Gave some to Lisa and she has been putting on her vericose veins. She feels like it has been helping.

Mixture I made in a rollerball and gave to my Mom.  She has made it for other people as well and it has helped them.

2 drops each:
peppermint
wild orange
lemon grass
cassia
eucalyptus
copaiba 
deep blue
Fill rest of rollerball with fractionated coconut oil.

ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS

COUGH SYRUP
Take 1 tsp every 3 hours
1/2 cup honey
8 drops peppermint
8 drops lemon
8 drops lavender
8 drops frankincense
8 drops on guard

Another thing that might work: lime and arborvitae on spine (maybe put in a roller)


My Dad had swollen legs/feet after his shoulder surgery.  He asked what could help. I looked on pinterest.  I tried it that night and I slept so good.  Would also be good if you were congested.
A drop in lotion and rubbed on legs/feet:
peppermint
cypress
juniper berry
