Okay, it is easy to get overwhelmed when it comes to essential oils.  Where to begin?  Which ones should I get?  Which oils can I purchase that will not be too crazy expensive? I wanted to write about my top 10 essential oils that I think are indispensable… perfect for your family and for your first aid kit.  As we love the movie What About Bob.. here are some baby steps to help you start stocking up on some crucial essential oils.

Such a classic.. I had to add him in here. 🙂

Here are the 10 essential oils for everyday use:  (I have these in my first aid kit)  I am going to give you the retail price for each oil.  If you are wanting to buy the oils at wholesale price from Young Living… you just sign up to be a member ($40) and then you can purchase them for the wholesale price- 24% off retail.  You don’t have to do anything else… no selling, no required autoship.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy!  If you want to earn free oils.. you can be part of the essential rewards program.  That is totally optional though.   Message me if you want details on that.

My top ten oils:

Lavender

Lavender is amazing… so versatile.  You can use Lavender for stress, burns, wounds, and to help you sleep.

R.C.

R.C. is my must have oil for winter.  This is wonderful in helping with decongestion, coughs and colds.  I rub on feet, chests and diffuse.

Di-Gize

I use Di-Gize for upset tummies, food poisoning and any other digestive issues. If you have the flu… rub on bottom of feet and stomach.  (dilute this oil)

Use it for constipation, stomach ache, nausea, gas, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It also combats Candida and parasites in humans and animals!

Safety: Children under 5 years of age should not use this Di-Gize essential oil. Women who are pregnant and those who have epilepsy should avoid this oil.  Can cause irritation to the skin, therefore dilution is necessary.  Price- $43.09 retail

Purification

Purification is great for keeping the mosquitoes away.  Helps neutralize insect/spider bites. Purification can be used directly on the skin to cleanse and soothe insect bites, cuts, and scrapes. When diffused, it helps to purify and cleanse the air from environmental impurities including cigarette smoke and other disagreeable odors.

Safety: possible photosensitivity  Price- $24.67 retail

Panaway

PanAway is my go to oil for pain and inflammation. This is used for pulled muscles, bruises, sprains and broken bones!

Safety:  test first.. if sensitive dilute with carrier oil.  Children under 18 months should not use this oil.   Price- $42.76 retail

Valor

Valor is called “chiropractor in a bottle”  This is used to help with back pain.  It has been given that nick name because it aligns our physical, mental and emotional bodies electrically in the body.

The smell is very soothing and calming! Valor is used for any back related conditions, including scoliosis and pain.

Safety: no known contraindications at this time   Price- $28.62

Frankincense

Frankincense is a very special oil.. not only is it good for cancer, skin cancer, warts, head trauma, scars, and for wrinkles. Good for a concussion….also great when you are praying.

Uses: Depression, cancer, respiratory infections, inflammation, immune-stimulating

Price-$94.41 retail-  this is the most expensive out of my top ten… maybe one you get later.  I have had the same bottle for years…

The oils in this select collection will provide ongoing support for your home, health, and body!

Not only are these oils a great help to me everyday, but they will come in so handy in an emergency situation.  I highly recommend them all for your first aid kit!

So, don’t get overwhelmed… start with whatever oil you can and keep on with the baby steps!  You will be sailing on, with a full EO first aid kit, in no time…
