BATH SALTS - Ingredients:

*

1 cup Dead Sea salt, regular sea salt or Epsom salt, or a blend of two or three of these salts.
*

5-8 drops of your selected essential oil or essential oil blend. Be sure and take heed in the safety data for the oil(s) you choose to use.

Directions: Place the salt mixture into a bowl. Add 5-8 drops of your chosen essential oils. Mix very well with a fork. Add the mixture to a pretty jar or container that has a tight fitting lid.  After a day, you may wish to mix well again to ensure that the oils have blended very well. Do not use the entire cup of salt in one bath. After you have drawn your bathwater, add about 1/4 cup (about 2 ounces) of the bath salt to your bath water.

Mix well to ensure that the salt has dispersed well in the tub and hop on in. It's best to add the bath salts just before getting in the tub instead of while the water is running so that the essential oils don't evaporate before you get into the tub. Using this bath salt blend is safer than adding pure EOs directly to the bath water and adds minerals and other beneficial properties of the salts.

BODY LOTION - Add 5 to 20 drops of your favorite essential oil to 1 oz Rebound, Tender Care, or Tangible massage lotion. Mix

BODY SPRITZER - Mix 40 oz of distilled water or pure hydrosol with 30 to 50 drops of pure essential oil. Shake well before spraying

BUSINESS CARDS - Put a dab of your "signature" oil onto your business cards. This helps people to remember you. Good one to try would be Lavender.

CAR - Many places sell cute little ceramic or clay pieces. I have a small cherub for instance - hanging from the mirror of my car. When I go somewhere I just drop 2 or 3 drops of the essential oil into the back of it and it diffuses throughout the car. It's wonderful and you can match the oil to your needs. If you need to lift your spirits - Joy is wonderful. When you're driving long distance - Lemon or Grapefruit can pick you up when you're feeling a bit tired

COMPRESSES, HOT or COLD - Hot compresses are relaxing. In addition, they open the pores of the skin so that essential oils can penetrate faster and deeper.  They also ease cramps and tension.

*

Pain - headaches, joints (arthritis), backache, stomach ache

Sprains - tendons, muscles and ligaments.
