We all have that one friend… you know the one, the one who swears by essential oils. Baaahhaahaha well that is me!!
I’ve been using them forever and didn’t really realize that was what I was doing. If I got sick, I would want to slather on the vicks because it would make me feel better. If my stomach ached, I wanted peppermint tea. If I could not sleep, I would drink lavender or chamomile tea.
Long story short, the first essential oils I bought lavender, peppermint and eucalyptus. I bought them to diffuse because I liked the smell. One day, I came home from work and I was beyond sick. It was a Friday, and I didn’t have any cold meds. I remember I felt like pure death. After a few hours of being on the couch and basically dying I decided to make my own Vicks. I whipped up coconut oil, then put a bunch of drops of eucalyptus, peppermint and a few lavender. I then rubbed the stuff all over my chest, under my nose and on the bottom of my feet. I put socks on, jumped into bed and put on a movie. I remember specifically it was Ladder 49 with John Travolta. Why I remember this? I have no idea. I feel asleep. I slept for 12 hours. Seriously 12 hours, maybe more. In the morning, I woke up 80% better and was a true believer that something in that bottle made a huge difference for me.
Follow along and I will share my experiences and my recipes.
