This information is from my wonderful friend, Lindsay. Read her full post (the first guest post on Lane and Pearl!), and follow her on Facebook or Instagram for more DIY products and all the ways to use essential oils!
Lavender:
Considered “the swiss army knife” of all oils, and one of my most-used oils. Just a drop will help soothe minor skin abrasions, or if you’ve been in the sun too long! A drop in a new tube of mascara can result in fuller, longer eyelashes. Lavender is perfect for seasonal support. Combine Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint to support healthy respiratory function and help you enjoy the seasons with ease. Lavender is also very calming and we use it to support a good night’s rest and a relaxing environment. Lavender combined with Stress-Away is our go-to nighttime blend.
Lemon Vitality:
I use it for everything! A drop of lemon in my water during the day gives me extra energy and fills my water with flavor. A drop or two of Lemon will also help you get sticky, hard to remove items or residue off of windows and other surfaces with ease (and I use it for this almost weekly because #toddlers). We also clean with Lemon often! Talk about the entire house smelling wonderful. We love to add it to our DIY cleaning recipes and our Thieves household cleaner.
Peppermint Vitality:
This is one of the oils that I will never find myself without and is always in my purse for on-the-go support. I use it to support healthy digestion, relieve head tension, and diffused to give us a little afternoon pick me up. This is also one of the oils in my favorite homemade chapstick!
Copaiba Vitality:
This is a great “driving oil,” meaning it adds extra power when used in addition to any oil. I add it to our rollers when we need extra oomph! One of my favorite ways to use this oil is making a Copaiba-Lavender Epsom Salt Bath (combine 3 drops of each oil with 1 cup of Epsom salt to unwind at the end of the day). This one will also support fussy gums for littles!
Citrus Fresh:
This blend of Orange, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Spearmint, and Lemon will brighten up your mood and your home! It provides a clean, fresh scent for any environment and also purifies the air!
Panaway:
Trust me when I say that this oil just might become your favorite! It’s a perfect companion after a workout, or a lifesaver for those days that you’ve physically overexerted yourself. This blend of Wintergreen, Helichrysum, Clove, and Peppermint essential oils can be used in a massage to help ease muscle discomfort.
Digize Vitality:
A blend of Ginger, Anise, Fennel, Peppermint, Tarragon, Lemongrass, Patchouli, and Juniper essential oils that was formulated to aid healthy digestion. Its rich, unique aroma and taste can be calming and comforting. Digize and peppermint are the oils used in our “tummy” roller.
Raven:
A powerful blend of Ravintsara, Lemon, Wintergreen, Peppermint, and Eucalyptus Radiata. Raven is our favorite go-to EO for respiratory support (for ages 6+). It helps support a healthy body temperature, and we love to make a soothing chest rub with Raven and a carrier oil! We also love diffusing it in a steamy bathroom or adding a drop to the corner of your shower! For my boys, who are under 6, we use the kids line of prediluted oils, SniffleEase!
Stress Away:
It pretty much does exactly that! It helps bring relief to everyday stresses we all can feel. This blend of Copaiba, Lime, Vanilla, Cedarwood, Ocotea, and Lavender essential oils smells amazing and when diffused or applied topically, provides a calming aroma and feeling. I also use this as my go-to perfume.
Frankincense:
Known as the “holy anointing oil,” and is arguably one of the most recognizable essential oils due to its wide range of supportive properties, as well as being one of the gifts given to baby Jesus. It is honestly INCREDIBLE at supporting the skin. I add this to my homemade face wash and to my nightly moisturizer.
Thieves Vitality:
This is one of Young Living’s most popular oil blends and has a spicy scent and flavor. Smells like Christmas!!! This proprietary blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils may help support a healthy immune system and promote overall wellness. We use this in our immunity rollers and roll it on the bottom of our feet daily to help support a healthy immune system.
