Essential oil uses - some you may never have thought of before! Part 1

Essential oil uses - some you may never have thought of before! 

Fruit or veggie wash

Add 3-5 drops of a citrus oil to 2qts - 1 gallon of water in a bowl, mix well, then use as a wash fruits and vegetables.  Dry well.  Will also help prevent premature molding or rotting. 

Small cuts, scrapes

Believe it or not, Peppermint oil is soothing to open wounds, and is highly anti-bacterial.  Small cut and scrapes will feel better and heal quickly.  Apply or spray with a pump.

Thicker, fuller hair

Add 20-50 droops of Rosemary to shampoo &/or conditioner for thicker, fuller hair, and to slow thinning.  Smells wonderful, especially added to doTerra's hair care.

Sunburn

Believe it or not, Peppermint oil is cooling and soothing to sunburns.  Make a spray and use neat or 5-10 drops in a few tablespoons of distilled water.  It will help protect against infection, however, consider that lavender or frankincense has better healing properties for burns.  Apply lavender or frankincense then layer with peppermint spray to drive the oils and cool and comfort the skin.

Hiccups

Add 4-5 drops of Peppermint to 1-2 tbps of room temperature water in a small glass or shot glass.  Swig, and the hiccups will usually stop immediately.

Tupperware yellowing

Often older Tupperware and plastics will begin to yellow and get sticky to the touch.  Use a drop of lemon and a drop of on guard with a nylon scrubber and a hot water rinse, and they will be just like new.

Permanent marker is no match against a couple drops of lemon oil and some elbow grease.
