Melaleuca

Jenee Ricks

Another Favorite! Do you ever get pimples or suffer from acne? Are you a grown adult and thought you should be done with this?! I’ve also written about Melaleuca when our family has ear infections.

Melaleuca, or Tea Tree oil, is best known for its purifying qualities, which make it useful for cleansing the skin and home surfaces, purifying the air, or promoting healthy immune function.*

Uses

  • For occasional skin irritations, apply 1–2 drops of Melaleuca essential oil onto affected area.
  • Add 1–2 drops to water, citrus drinks, or veggie caps to support healthy immune system function.*
  • Combine 1–2 drops with your facial cleanser for added cleansing properties, or apply to skin after shaving.
  • Apply to fingernails and toenails after showering to purify and keeps nails looking healthy.
  • Add a few drops to a spray bottle with water and use on surfaces to protect against environmental threats.

Directions for Use

Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity.

Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.

So a couple ways that our house has used it is

  1. Apply a little on to a skin blemish like a pimple
  2.  Take a drop of it and put it on a cotton ball and put right into the ear for an ear ache. DO NOT CRAM IT DOWN IN! I just put it loosely into the ear and easy to get back out.

Bugs are coming, sooner than we want!

Jenee Ricks

Do you go camping? What about just hanging out with friends outside on a summers night? WE DO!! Living in a neighborhood with a bunch of kids, summer screams night games and late nights. The one thing I have started stocking up on it doTERRA TerraShield!

When it comes to outdoor protection, no defense is better than Mother Nature’s offerings. Among these are essential oils which provide a vapor barrier for plants, protecting them from potential threats in their environment. TerraShield Outdoor Blend contains powerful essential oils and other plant oils known to provide outdoor protection in a natural, safe way. This newly updated formula contains a select blend of essential oils including Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, Catnip, Lemon Eucalyptus, Litsea, Arborvitae, Nootka, and Vanilla Bean Absolute—all of which possess specific chemical compounds known to protect against environmental annoyances.

We also have an oil without it being the spray. The oil alone acts as a barrier.

I like them both but the spray is easier to just spray on you outside!

We are going on our LDS Trek with the youth in June and I can’t wait to bring this with us and keep the bugs away!!IMG_0605

Ear Infections….does your family get them?

Jenee Ricks

Do your kids get ear infections or ear aches? Have YOU ever had them? I’m not discrediting how it is for kids, but it is so painful for adults too! I, all of a sudden started giving more sympathy to my kids when they got ear aches. Luckily for us, I can always catch and start to help treat ear infections when they first come by putting a little bit of Melaleuca on a cotton ball and putting it in the ear that hurts. Normally by the time my son wakes up in the morning, his ear is feeling so much better.

I have a great recipe for a roller bottle too, which I am in love with! Now the awesome thing is….I found these amazing labels that I use for my Rollerbottles that help remind you of the main ingredients in them, and because essential oils can be overwhelming when first starting out, they also remind you of good places to apply them! Amazing right?!

When I first started out using oils, I was told “less is more!”. You don’t have to use a whole bottle of your essential oil to create different recipes. Most recipes only take a few drops of each oil when you are creating them. Fractionated Coconut Oil is key to keep on hand! That is what I use for all of mine.

For this recipe you will use the following:

6 drops of Basil

6 drops of Lavender

6 drops of Melaleuca

Fill the rest of the 10ml bottle up with Fractionated Coconut Oil

You can pick up the stickers here

They have even created cute names for them so that you remember EXACTLY what this blend is for!

I think I’ve mentioned this before, I LOVE ESSENTIAL OILS! If your child wakes up in the middle of the night with an ear ache, go right to your oils and grab the rollerbottle you’ve already made up! Super easy! Remember, you can start getting oils today! Let me know when you are ready.

Let’s talk Lavender

Jenee Ricks

Who doesn’t like Lavender? What are some of your favorite uses for it? What is it good for? Have you ever used it? Well I have the answers.

Now I actually have 2 different Lavender available. The first is the 15ml bottle of the oils.

The first thing I think of when I hear Lavender is…RELAXED! I actually take this oil and put it in our diffuser in our room at night-time. I promise you, I had never slept so good! I actually turn on the diffuser about 30 minutes before I go to bed. I love the smell and how relaxed I get.

We also use this in the summer when those pesky mosquitos come out. When our boys get bit from being outside playing night games, they come in and put a little drop of Lavender on their bites. It makes it so they don’t think of them and they don’t itch!

Some of the benefits are:

  • Soothes occasional skin irritations
  • Taken internally, Lavender reduces anxious feelings and promotes peaceful sleep*
  • Helps ease feelings of tension.*

I also like the Lavender Touch which is also in the picture. It is already diluted with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut oil.

The Lavender Touch is a great oil for your collection and the benefits are:

  • Soothes occasional skin irritations
  • Provides a calming, relaxing effect
  • Calming to skin that’s been exposed to the sun or heat

Ways to use Lavender are:

Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity. See additional precautions below.

Cautions

Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
