11 Household Uses For Essential Oils

Deodorize Carpets - Mix a cup of baking soda with 5-6 drops of essential oil, and sprinkle onto your carpet. The baking soda will absorb the unpleasant odor, and the essential oil will leave a fresh one in its place. Vacuum as usual. (Source: Quick & Dirty Tips)
Refrigerator Air Freshener - Mix bergamot, lemongrass, grapefruit, or lime essential oil into a box of baking soda and place in your fridge to eliminate unpleasant smells. (Source: Natural Living Ideas)
Bathroom Air Freshener - Place 1-2 drops of your favorite essential oil on the inside of a new toilet paper roll every time you replace it. Every time it's used, it will release the fresh scent into the air. (Source: Quick & Dirty Tips)
Reusable Disinfecting Wipes - Instead of constantly throwing used wipes away, make your own reusable natural cleaning wipes by soaking clean wash cloths in a homemade solution of water, white vinegar, and essential oils. (Source: Wise Bread)
Germ Destroyer - Dilute a few drops of lavender or melaleuca essential oil to a water bottle and spray down your gym bag, hotel room, door handles, or other potential germ hot spots. (Source: One Good Thing)

Floor Cleaner - Make your own hardwood floor cleaner. Fill a large jug with water, leaving room for 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of castile soap, and 30 drops of lemon essential oil. When it's time to clean your floors, combine one cup of this solution with one gallon of hot water. (Source: Wise Bread)

The Power Of Essential Oils

Stop by and check out our new
display of our Young Living™ products!

Due to their in-depth Seed To Seal® production process, Young Living™ essential oils are incredibly potent. In fact, a plant's essential oil is far more powerful than its original botanical form. (For this reason, experts recommend only using a few drops of an essential oil at any one time.) Since a single bottle will last you for quite some time, it is a great investment in your family's health and wellness.

Essential oils can be used in a variety of different ways and for a variety of different reasons. Common uses include topical application, aromatic diffusion, and (in some cases) dietary consumption. When used correctly, essential oils offer many different advantages, including physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Thanks to their powerful intrinsic qualities, they can also be used as natural alternatives to the harsh chemicals found in many of today's cleaning and beauty products.
