Every night during our bedtime routine each of my kids happily stick their their feet out to me so I can roll our oils on. We use them for immune support, sleep routine, sniffles, upset tummies, temperatures, and boo-boos. Our kids literally don’t know what medicine is because we rarely have it in the house. I’m constantly sharing our love for oils with family and friends and how they’ve changed how we treat our symptoms from day to day. If someone is ever hesitant about trying oils, I always ask them what do they have to lose? Nothing, but to possibly gain a different perspective.
Consistency is vital. I’ve been one to only use it here and there and didn't see much of an impact. However, once I started using them daily we saw a huge change in our children’s behavior and immune support. Below are our favorite recipes we always have mixed up to help support the health of our family and home!
Immune Support
5 drops Thieves
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Add to a roller ball and roll on bottoms of feet morning and night.
We do this daily, especially since Kensi has started school. We’re two weeks in and she hasn’t gotten sick yet. I love this recipes because Thieves has so many magical properties that help keep our immune systems strong!

6 drops Peace & Calming
6 drops Cedarwood
Spritz Bottle: Add oil drops to a 2oz spritz bottle and add a pinch of epsom salt and fill the rest with distilled water. Spritz on pillow, snugglies and sheets before bed.
Roller Ball: Add oil drops to a roller ball and fill rest with fractionated coconut oil. Roll on spine and big toe before bed.
Witching Hour Diffuser Blend
3 drops Stress Away
3 drops Lavender
Add to diffuser with distilled water. Perfect for the witching hour when the kids lose their minds and dinner needs to be prepped!
Happy Teeth
5 drops Orange
4 drops Copaiba
Add oils into a roller ball and fill with fractionated coconut oil. Roll on baby’s spine and massage onto jaw line with finger.
Copaiba is also gentle enough to use without a carrier oil. Add a drop to teething toy or necklace for added relief.
