How to Use Essential Oils in the Summer

Now that it’s heating up outside, you’ll need to take precautions to protect your skin and home. No need to scour the supermarket for a variety of summer products. Instead, use your essential oils to supplement personal and home care during the summer months.

Here are a few tips for using our best essential oils:

• No air conditioning? Apply a few drops of lavender essential oil to a cold damp towel for a soothing cool when you are feeling overheated. Lavender essential oil will rejuvenate your senses and also relax while cooling down.
• If you are sunburned, mix a drop or two of peppermint oil with vitamin E oil to calm an aching sunburn. It can be applied with cotton balls or a soft cotton cloth. You can also use other carrier oils such as almond, jojoba or coconut oil.
• A refreshing peppermint–lavender bath picks you up after a long day of work and is the perfect way to energize on a lazy summer afternoon. Mix 5 drops of peppermint and lavender oils with a high-grade Epsom salt for a relaxing bath that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
• Create a lavender–coconut oil moisturizing blend to keep your skin soft and ward off insects if you are going on a hike for the day. Simply mix 1 or 2 drops of lavender with a cup of coconut oil and store in a container in a cool dry place

5 Ways to Use Peppermint Essential Oil

One of the most versatile and sought after essential oils, peppermint improves your health and does wonders in the home. Though common in food and teas, aromatic peppermint essential oil has an abundant number of uses as well. Here’s just a few:

• Refreshingly clean. If you use homemade cleaners, add a drop of peppermint essential oil to the mixture to add a revitalizing scent to your home. Peppermint also works especially well on wood floors.

• Nausea relief. Peppermint essential oil relieves symptoms of nausea. If you find yourself feeling weak or woozy, create your own peppermint essential oil sachet to breathe in when you feel ill.

• Pantry protection. Just like it repels insects from your skin, peppermint essential oil naturally wards off pests in the pantry. Avoid ants, flies and other insects with peppermint in the cabinet. Simply place a couple drops on a towel and store it in the corner of the pantry.

• Pain reduction. If you are experiencing pain, ask your significant other for a massage with carrier oil and 1-2 drops of peppermint oil on the affected area. Peppermint oil is known to reduce pain.

• Natural energizer. Forget the afternoon slump and sugary snack. Instead, use a couple drops of peppermint essential oil in a mister filled with water. Simply spray your mister in the air to enjoy a fresh wave of peppermint and feel energized through the rest of your day.
