There is a few basic essential oils that can help you with some home first aid  and wellness solutions.

Here is some that we regularly use.

• Peppermint – You cannot be without - but not advisable for kids under 6
• Lavender – A wonderful all-rounder from insect bits to sleeping aid - and save for kids
• Tea Tree – In World War 2 no Tea Tree essential oil producer is called for duty, their duty was to ensure each first aid kid going into battle was equipt with tea tree oil.
• Eucalyptus - That well know smell to aid with respiratory congestion
• And so many more...  in time we will share more

Because essential oils are concentrated you need a base to dilute and help spread the essential oil. These oils are called carrier oils. We will look at them in more detail later but here are the main ones.

• Jojoba - Moisturising and good for skin issues
• Avocado - Heavy oil, richly nourishing and penetrating
• Almond - Absorbs well - Nourishing and moisturizing
• Fractionated Coconut oil - All around useful carrier
• Grapeseed - Non-greasy and absorbs well
• V-6 vegetable oil - Nourishes the skin, doesn’t clog pores

Diffusing is one of the safest and most effective ways to reap the benefits of essential oils. Because you are inhaling the mico particles released with the diffusion process, it’s the fastest way to get essential oils into your bloodstream!

When you invest in a diffuser, make sure it is made from quality medical grade plastic or even better glass. Cheap plastic brake down in time and then you are breathing in the microplastic particles too....
