Acid reflux is a condition where stomach acid comes back up your esophagus and can cause uncomfortable or even painful heartburn. This recipe is a great way to help combat acid reflux and heartburn naturally.

INGREDIENTS

2 oz distilled water
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 drops ginger essential oil

DIRECTIONS

In a glass, blend together water, apple cider vinegar, and ginger essential oil.
Drink immediately while the essential oil is well blended into the water and vinegar. Alternately, swirl the water around a couple of times before drinking to disperse the essential oil molecules thoroughly.

NOTES

Best if taken as an acid reflux preventative method about fifteen minutes before eating.
Take only water and vinegar if pregnant, unless on the advice of your physician.

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp carrier oil, like olive oil or sweet almond oil
2 drops peppermint essential oil

DIRECTIONS

Blend the peppermint essential oil into the carrier oil.
Apply mixture to bottoms of feet.
Apply to the temple region of the face, rubbing in a circular manner.
Rub remaining mixture into hands, then cup hands to the face and breathe deeply.

Peppermint essential oil has been known to help improve brain function, cognitive awareness, and lethargy. Breathing and applying peppermint essential oil may help increase circulation and can leave you feeling awake and energized.

Steaming is an old-school method to open the pores, cleanse the skin, and clear your sinuses. I am remembering the movie Guys and Dolls when Adelaide is overcome with emotion after a visit from her man, Nathan Detroit. He still won’t commit to a wedding date after fourteen years (yes, years – you read that right!) of engagement. She is overwhelmed, disappointed, and has a bad, bad cold. After he leaves the room, she dramatically places her face in her steamer, and the scene is ended in a flourish of billowing steam.

Steam is a great decongestant and is powered along with eucalyptus essential oil. A steamer isn’t necessary to achieve great results, and all you need is a towel, a sink filled halfway with hot water, and a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil.

DIRECTIONS

Get your water running very hot before filling the sink.
Fill up the sink halfway with water. If it gets much fuller than that, you may inadvertently touch your chin or nose into the steaming water.
Add 2-3 drops of eucalyptus essential oil.
Covering your head and the sink with the towel, breathe the decongestant steam deeply for several minutes.
Repeat as needed.

Place one shower tablet on the shower floor. The water and steam from the shower will slowly break apart the tablet and release the essential oil scents in the room. These vapor shower tablets with eucalyptus, rosemary, and peppermint essential oils are perfect for cold and flu therapeutic use.

INGREDIENTS & SUPPLIES

1 cup cornstarch
2-5 tbsp water
10 drops eucalyptus essential oil
8 drops rosemary essential oil
8 drops peppermint essential oil
silicone mold

DIRECTIONS

Place cornstarch in a bowl, add 2 tbsp water and essential oils, and mix well.
Add additional water drop by drop to make a thick paste texture.
Divide mixture into mold cavities. Let set until solid.
Remove vapor shower tablets from silicone mold and store at room temperature (away from moisture) until ready to use.

Soothing lavender, peppermint, and chamomile work gently with the aloe vera gel to soothe and calm sun-blistered skin. Coconut oil and shea butter moisturize and provide nutrients to skin, while the glycerin creates a smooth and easy spreading lotion.

INGREDIENTS

2 oz coconut oil
2 oz shea butter
1 tbsp aloe vera gel
1 tsp glycerin
3 drops lavender essential oil
3 drops peppermint essential oil
2 drops chamomile essential oil

DIRECTIONS

In a double boiler over medium heat, melt the coconut oil and shea butter. Blend well.
Remove from heat; stir in remaining ingredients.
Allow to come to room temperature (mixture will become solid).
Using a hand blender, mix until texture is creamy. Add additional glycerin or aloe vera gel if you desire the texture to be softer.
Store sunburn lotion at room temperature in desired glass container.
