For more than four years, I have used essential oils in my home. I have a wonderful collection that helps me solve tummy aches, cold symptoms, anxiety, and sleeplessness. The list goes on but I’ll share my top favorites here.

1. Peppermint: this is a wonderful digestive aid. I add one drop to a large glass of water if my stomach is upset. It’s also used in a number of my diffuser recipes to help with allergy and cold symptoms.
2. Thieves: this is our go-to during the winter months. I swear it helps keep the germ bugs at bay from my kids. I rub it on their feet at night and diffuse it in the air at breakfast each morning. When I feel the tickle of a sore throat, I make a Thieves tea for myself.
3. Lemon: an all-around mood brightening oil! I diffuse this for a fresh scent in our home, add it to water (kid’s too!) and also add it to homemade bath scrubs.
4. Purification: if I cook fish, this is diffused to remove the smell. Works every time!
5. Tea Tree Oil: I use this on my skin if I see a sign of a blemish. It’s a great way to treat healing wounds to avoid infection. I’ll also add this to my DIY foaming hand scrub.
