Homemade DIY Thieves Throat Spray

Homemade Thieves Essential oil throat spray

My new favorite DIY spray using Thieves essential oil! Not only is the this the best numbing throat spray, but it has tons of other uses. You can use this spray as a hand purifier (yes, this is my exact hand purifier recipe), grocery cart spray, restaurant table spray, doorknobs in public restrooms spray, gym equipment spray... you get the idea. This best part about this spray is that it does not contain alcohol. No more need to worry if your kiddos got a hold of the bottle. AND not only are you numbing your sore throat, but the Thieves essential oil giving you an immune boost.

Homemade DIY Ultra Moisturizing Body Wash

Homemade DIY Ultra Moisturizing Body Wash

Being highly allergic to fragrance leaves few options for body washes. After years of trying different brands and paying a fortune for fragrance free body washes, I decided to make my own. I tried a few recipes and this is what I came up with. It cost me about $5 per 8oz bottle to make. It is super quick and easy to make. The body wash is rather thin, but when applied with a pouffy, it lathers right up!

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl or measuring cup. I like to use a measuring cup since it will be easy to pour straight into the bottle. You can adjust the essential oil ratio to your liking. Peppermint is stronger than most, so I only use about half the amount I would for other oils. For example, if using lavender, I'd use about 50 drops. Feel free to experiment and try different combination of scents.

Pour into bottle. Shake before each use. How simple can you get!

Decorate the bottles however you'd like. Feel free to use the free printable below or order your custom personalized waterproof stickers (or personalized digital downloads for you to print) from Davet Designs.

About me (Bridget Davet) and my Young Living story

About me (Bridget Davet)
and my Young Living story

Bridget Davet, Owner; Jean-Paul Davet; Sport Davet

In 2012 I became a proud momma to a handsome little man! As any new mom does, I started researching the best things for my kids and family. Being allergic to fragrance, I had already switched all of our cleaning, beauty and household supplies over to fragrance-free all natural brands. But after intense research I realized I could be doing more to protect my family from toxins and harmful chemicals.

After having my son and joining my "mommy group", I started hearing my new friends talk about essential oils. They'd post on Facebook about how a certain oil had helped with their sick kid, or another moms giving advice on how to help you sick kid with oils. I remember the first time one of them told me to put Peppermint oil on my son to bring down his fever when he was sick for the very first time ever. Peppermint oil???? You mean that stuff I used for making bath salts? Was she crazy!!! I eventually purchase a bottle of peppermint oil and it sat on my counter. No one thought to ask me if I actually knew anything about the oils or how to use them. A few bottles and a few bucks later... I still had no clue!

By now I had my second son and was applying an oil blend on him to help with his colic (as directed from my mommy friends)... still had no clue. Finally my friend, Lacy, invited me to an "Essential oils 101 class". Now it all made sense!!! I learned what were essential oils, what they were used for and how to use them. Why didn't I know all this before? I did research on Young Living and some other of the big named essential oil companies. In no time, I purchased my Young Living Premium starter kit and my life (and my family's lives) are forever changed!

We now use our essential oils for everything. I have replaced using most all our medicines with the Young Living essential oils. I threw out ALL our cleaning supplies and now use the Thieves household cleaner for all our cleaning needs. I started making my own beauty and household products using a few natural ingredients and my essential oils. After sharing the oils and my experience with others, my new love of essential oils became a business that started to grow and grow and grow .... join me today on this life changing journey!
