One reason many people turn to Young Living is for natural solutions for handling everyday needs! So whether you're stocking a natural wellness kit, have little kiddos or are accident prone yourself, here are some favorites for handling life's bumps and bruises!
FAVORITES FOR BUMPS & BRUISES
Rose Ointment or Tender Tush Ointment (great replacement for typical skin ointments)
Seedlings Diaper Rash Cream (perfect or wellness kits because it is a zinc oxide cream and protects the skin)
Helichrysum, Lavender, Patchouli, Chamomile and Frankincense essential oils (for soothing and promoting healing)
Tea Tree essential oil (for purifying and can be used for tick removal!)
PanAway, M-Grain, Deep Relief essential oil blends
CBD Muscle Rub and CBD Drops (can use topically or most people drop under the tongue)
For just about everything you'd find in a conventional wellness kit, we have a natural option in the form of an essential oil or oil-infused product!
QUICK TIPS & DIYS
To easily remove ticks, simply drop a few drops of Tea Tree essential oil onto the tick where it is attached. Gently rub a q-tip around the area and wait for the tick to remove itself from the skin. Add a few more drops of Tea Tree as needed.
Use Rose Ointment or Tender Tush Ointment as an all-purpose ointment when applying bandages and as a carrier if you need to add essential oils to an area. These can also be used as a base for a DIY cream/salve.
Lavender is a great skin soother! Whether skin is irritated from a fall, from grabbing something hot, or from creepy crawly pests, Lavender and a carrier is a great start. You can also add Purification to soothe itching and/or Roman Chamomile for soothing.
DIY Pavement Spray
For when you or someone else hits the pavement! Spray onto the area - no need to rub in. If you want to place a bandage on it, make sure to gently remove any oil around the affected area so the adhesive will stick.
