Flu Bombs, Cold Bombs, and Essential Oils

With flu season coming up, I wanted to make a roller ball of essential oils that would protect my family; especially my toddler. Here is what I made:

Cold/Flu Preventative- this will be an almost daily roll on for my toddler - more for the days he goes to daycare. I roll it on the bottoms of his feet.

10ml roller bottle
Fractionated Coconut oil to fill bottle after drops
2 drops each:
*Wild orange
*Onguard (a doTerra blend)
*Melaleuca aka tea tree oil
*Lemon


Flu Bomb: For when/if the flu actually hits. It's the same as the Preventative, but I've added oregano (which shouldn't be used consecutively for more than 14 days).

10ml roller ball
Fractionated Coconut oil to fill bottle after drops
2 drops each:
*Wild orange
*Onguard (a doTerra blend)
*Melaleuca aka tea tree oil
*Lemon
*Oregano

                                                     The after product. And good labeling is key. Nothing worse
                                                     than misplacing your recipe and needing to make more.

                                                    The case I keep my oils and accoutrements in.

                                                    This is the fractionated coconut oil. Different from regular
                                                     coconut oil b/c this one is always liquid.

                                                     These are the roller balls I got in bulk. Ended up costing
                                                     about $0.15 each. Ordered off of Amazon. 

                                                    The pipettes are needed for putting the oil
                                                     in the roller balls. The essential oils are
                                                     easy to put in - just hold over the roller balls
                                                     and let them drop in.

Essential Oils - Part Two - What An Education

After still more hours of researching I have come to the conclusion that I do only want first distillation and the finest distillation in my home. Whether it's cleaning, beauty products, or to treat illnesses/scrapes, I want the best essential oils.

With that being said, I did sign up to use doTerra products. There are local classes I can take, tons of information on-line, and I have a wellness advocate I can consult. The products are continually quality checked and receive high marks on purity. Plus, I have now ingested(!!!) some for health benefits.

Internally I use them to help settle an upset or bloated stomach with remarkable success.
I have used them topically on animal scratches, blisters, and other sores (on my husband too!).
I use them aromatically (diffused) for a clean scent, healing properties, and mood lifters.

I love using an "Owie" solution for my 15 month old son. It relieves him of itching from bug bites and heals animal scratches quickly.

The doTerra brand is a little more expensive than the oils I've purchased in the past, but they are worth it. The pureness and quality of the oils sold me on them. The plants are distilled in their indigenous region - which helps with purity and quality.

If you have questions about essential oils please let me know. If you'd like to order essential oils, let me know, as I am also a Wellness Advocate for doTerra - I love getting my oils at cost and I love educating people on the oils.
