Essential Oils For Motherhood: A Quick Survival Guide

It's undoubtedly one of the most rewarding roles in the world, but it's also one of the toughest jobs in existence. Motherhood is a roller coaster ride of bumps, bruises, scratches, tantrums, snuggles, play dates, laughter, tears, and everything in between. 


 It's impossible to predict what may happen next when there are kids around, so moms have to be prepared to handle whatever situation may arise. This is often easier said than done, and sometimes moms have to make things up as they go along. However, there are certain things you can do help prepare you for the various situations that may present.

 Building Your Survival Kit

 As a mom, it's important that you build a survival kit you can use to get you through the tough situations that may present. The tools in your survival kit will adapt as your children grow, as diapers and wipes are exchanged for bandaids, emergency snacks, etc. 

 No matter how old your kids are, there are certain tools that your survival kit should never be without. Essential oils are a prime example. These powerful resources offer numerous benefits that can be beneficial in practically any situation. Keep reading to learn more about the essential oils that should be kept in your mom's survival kit, courtesy of the Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy.
5 Essential Oils For Your Motherhood Survival Kit
  1. Stress Away - This mix of Cedarwood, Lavender, Vanilla, Copaiba, and Lime is relaxing and grounding.
  2. Peppermint - The refreshing and invigorating qualities of this versatile oil make it the perfect midday pick-me-up. (Warning: peppermint can have an adverse affect on milk supply and should not be used by breastfeeding mothers.)
  3. Lavender - This soft, soothing scent can be diffused, added to bathwater, or applied to kids' feet to help get a better night's rest.
  4. Peace & Calming - This tangy mix of Orange, Ylang Ylang, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Tangerine, and Patchouli is another great way to set the mood for a relaxing evening or afternoon nap.
  5. Thieves - This is a Young Living favorite. Its uses are as powerful as they are varied; Thieves can be used for anything from immune defense to household cleaning.

It Doesn't Have To Stop There!

Though the five oils we just discussed could be considered the "essential" components of your survival kit (see what we did there?), the list doesn't have to stop there. There are several other essential oils that may come in handy when dealing with the everyday demands of motherhood, such as:
  • Eucalyptus - Purifying and cleansing
  • Clary Sage - Calming and relaxing
  • Bergamot - Calming and confidence-boosting
  • Rosemary - Promotes mental clarity

11 Household Uses For Essential Oils

Though essential oils have been around for hundreds (and possibly even thousands) of years, it is only recently that they have begun to receive widespread attention and popularity. In recognition of their vast and varied benefits and uses, many people have started to look for ways to incorporate essential oils into their everyday lives. 

Are you interested in learning more about how to use essential oils in your home? As a proud Young Living™ Essential Oils distributor at the Lake of the Ozarks, the Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy is here to help educate you on some of the different in-home uses for essential oils. You might be surprised by their versatility!

11 Household Uses For Essential Oils
  1. 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)
  2. 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)
  3. 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)
  4. 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)
  5. 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)
  6. Insect Deterrent - Diffuse peppermint, lemongrass, citronella, lavender, or rosemary essential oil to deter flying insects. (Source: Natural Living Ideas)
  7. Laundry Detergent - There are lots of recipes for homemade laundry soap and fabric softener online. Add a fresh scent to your homemade creation by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil. (Source: Wise Bread)
  8. Sponge Disinfectant - Add a few drops of lemon essential oils to your dish sponge to disinfect it in between uses. (Source: Natural Living Ideas)
  9. Stress Reliever - Add a few drops of chamomile or lavender oil to your bath water. (Source: Natural Living Ideas)
  10. Shoe Deodorizer - Place a few drops of your favorite essential oil on cotton balls, and put one or two cotton balls in each smelly shoe. (Source: One Good Thing)
  11. 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)

As you've probably figured out by now, the sky is truly the limit when it comes to potential household uses for essential oils. Hopefully these DIY tips have helped get your creative juices flowing!

DIY Healthy Alternatives To Everyday Products: 4 Recipes With Essential Oils

Household cleaning products, bug spray, air fresheners, shampoo... We use these products so frequently that we often take them for granted. Most people rarely give it a second thought before wiping their kids' toys down with Clorox, washing their hair, or coating themselves in bug spray. People are often surprised and a little dismayed to learn about the extra (often toxic) ingredients mixed into these products, but they are so essential to everyday life that they continue to use them anyway. The Lime in the Coconut Compounding Pharmacy is here to help you break out of this cycle - keep reading to learn more about essential oils and how you can use them to make safe, healthy alternatives for these everyday products.

Bug Spray
Recipe from WellnessMama.com

Instructions:
  1.  Fill a spray bottle halfway with distilled water
  2. Use witch hazel to finish filling the water bottle (almost to the top)
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin (optional)
  4. Add 30-50 drops of essential oil for desired scent
Shake well. Recommended oils to choose from include lemongrass, cajeput, cedar, eucalyptus, catnip, citronella, rosemary, clove, mint, tea tree, and/or lavender. These oils have a pleasant smell that serves as a natural insect repellent.

Shampoo
Recipe from NewLeafWellness.com

Whisk together the following ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup of Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Soap
  • 1/4 cup of coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vitamin E oil
  • 20 drops of essential oils of your choice
If you have dry hair, you may want to add 1/2 teaspoon of almond oil or olive oil. Choose the essential oil(s) you want to use based on their aroma. Store in a plastic or glass container.

Everyday Cleaner
Recipe from EverdayRoots.com

In a spray bottle, mix together the following ingredients:
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of baking soda
  • Several drops of tea tree or eucalyptus essential oil
Once you have mixed these ingredients, fill the spray bottle the rest of the way with water. Shake it well and let it settle before using it for the first time. If you are using it on fabrics, test it in a small, discreet location first to ensure that it won't alter the color. Tea tree and eucalyptus are good oils to use for cleaning products because, in addition their pleasant smell, they have natural anti-microbial properties.

Air Freshener

Make your base for your air freshener by mixing the following ingredients together in a spray bottle:
  • 2 tablespoons of vodka, rubbing alcohol, or pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup of water
  • 15-25 drops of essential oils of your choice
If you are using this blend purely as an air freshener, you don't have to worry about finding the oils that contain anti-microbial properties. Choose the scents you like the best. The author of this recipe recommends using a wide variety of oils, including peppermint, lavender, grapefruit, lemon, orange, clove, geranium, rosemary. Feel free to experiment with these or any of your favorite Young Living blends.

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.
