HAND SANITIZER

HOMEMADE HAND SANITIZER

Tiffany made this for all the on-site offices due to the corona virus.  I made some for our house and we loved it!  

3 T aloe vera
2 T witch hazel or 1 T rubbing alcohol
1/2 tsp vitamin E oil
20 drops tea tree
10 drops lavendar

Tiffany also add 4 drops lemon grass

I added some on guard and cheer

She mixes her with a braun.  My aloe wasn't runny - I think it was for after sun so thicker.  I just mixed  with a spatula.

HAIR/SCALP TREATMENT

-witch hazel (did a couple of squeezes)
-added combination of any of the following oils (40 drops total)
*lavendar
*clary sage
*oregano
*lemongrass (not very much since it reacts to the sun...or maybe that is just regular lemon)
*grapefruit
*peppermint
*rosemary
*pink pepper
*yarrow
*malleleluca
*geranium
*cheer
*thyme
*helicrysum - good for itching
*German Chamonille (don't have...DoTerra doesn't make...check Revive)
*Eucalyptus
*cinnamon
*myrrh
*cedarwood - good for the scalp
-fill up rest with water


UPDATE: Going to try putting in a bottle in the shower and filling with Apple Cider Vinegar and oils.
Saw this somewhere: 1 cup water, 6-8 drops Eucalyptus, 1 T apple cider vinegar (I would probably double and add 6 drops rosemary and 1 drop helicrysum)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone posted on FB on oil page that they used for loosing hair.  I thought it was a lot of oils, so I doubled the oil and added that many drops.  Put in a jar with dropper.  Put on either at night or right before showering.
10 ml castor oil
5 ml vitamin E
30 drops: rosemary, geranium
25: lavendar, frank
20: melaleuca, cedarwood
15: peppermint, ylang ylang

PURIFY SPRAY

PURIFY SPRAY
Abagail threw up once night on the way home.  I cleaned it the best I could but it still stunk so bad.  I put a couple of drops of purify (straight essential oil) and then cleaned it again. Smell gone!  I decided to make a spray so I could use it around the house.  A couple of nights later the guinea pigs got out and hid under our bed.  They peed and pooped everywhere - Yuck!  We cleaned it up and then sprayed with the purify spray. Smell gone!  Love this stuff.

Mix 10 drops purify in 1/2 tsp baking soda
Add 2 T witch hazel and enough distilled water (could use regular water too) to fill a 8 oz glass spray bottle.

All-Natural Room & Linen Spray 
2 cups distilled water
1/2 tsp. baking soda
10 drops lemon essential oil
10 drops lime essential oil
10 drops wild orange essential oil

Mix together baking soda and essential oils until well combined. Using a funnel carefully put baking soda mixture into a 16 oz. glass spray bottle. Add water and shake well. Spray onto fabric until slightly damp and allow to air dry. Spray the air above fabrics and carpets and around the room for a fresher, cleaner home. 

What I love about this recipe is it’s easy to make, I recognize the ingredients, it’s really cheap and it actually works. It’s safe on fabrics and to spray in the air and you’re not breathing in noxious chemicals when you do.
