We have such an incredible, creative Intelligent Designer!  When He created you and I, He had already filled the earth with provision for most of our physical needs.  That includes healing!  I’m not a savant of essential oils, but I am definitely a fan and am learning a lot!  Today, I’m sharing my top favorite essential oils!*  (Note: These thoughts are only my personal experiences and opinions!  I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV! Please research yourself before trying any! 🙂 )

My Top 5 Essential Oils:

5: Thieves-I’ve only recently tried this and I was so glad I did!  This oil blend has a delightful scent and taste due to the cinnamon, cloves, lemon etc. in it.  I was struggling with a sore throat and within a few days of using thieves, it was gone!

4: Lemon-This oil has a delightful smell that is invigorating and refreshing.  Use it for cleaning, freshening breath, flavoring water or tea, and even improving digestion.

3: Frankincense is another all around amazing oil!  No wonder the Wisemen brought it to Jesus!  It supports healthy cells, soothes skin irritations, promotes the fading of blemishes, and even strengthens healthy nails. I’ve seen an improvement in spider veins using this oil.

2: Melaleuca or Tea Tree-This oil has been around for ages and is remarkable.  Tea tree oil soothes the skin and scalp.  It also keeps lice away (teachers love that!). It takes care of bug bites and dissolves blemishes.

1: Peppermint!  Peppermint oil soothes headaches immediately, calms upset tummies, tames the appetite, awakens the senses, and freshens the breath! You just can’t go wrong with it!  (Unless you forget you have it on your hands and rub your eyes!  Oy vey!)  It’s also hands down, my favorite to diffuse!

How interesting and even fun it has been to learn about the advantages and uses of something so natural as essential oils.  I’m thankful for the wonderful way that oils have been a blessing to me!  Years ago, I learned that garlic & mullein oil works wonders on ear infections and we’ve not had any ear issues since that discovery.  I enjoy the concept that we are managing health concerns in natural ways.  Recently, I’m learning more about blends that bring pain relief and heal wounds.  I’ve embraced oils so much, I needed an oil shelf…  So, found an antique spice rack, refinished it, and voila!  That made my creative side happy too!

Here’s to learning and growing! Here’s to healing the natural way!  If you use essential oils, share your favorite in the comments!

Thanks, Lord, for giving us natural remedies!

Live loved!
