By the end of the series, I'll have a post on each of the oils that come in Young Living's Premium Starter Kit, which is the Everyday Oils Collection plus our Stress Away Oil.
Today I'm going to talk about our Purification essential oil blend.
I really love this oil and for several different reasons.
Purification is made up of the following oils:
- Citronella
- Lemongrass
- Rosemary
- Melaleuca Alternifolia
- Lavandin
- Myrtle
This oils smells lovely! It almost has a rosy fragrance to it. Very fresh and clean. I always use it when I make my carpet deodorizer.
Here are some ways we use Purification:
Eliminate Odors
Purification is actually formulated to eliminate/neutralize (not mask or cover) odors and the bacteria that causes them. It's a really great option if you have pet, smoke, or mildew odors in your home!
Diffusing Purification will leave your room smelling divine very quickly.
Another option, if you don't have a diffuser is putting Purification on a cotton ball and putting it in the air vents.
I also put several drops of Purification in a small glass spray bottle with a tiny bit of epsom salts to dissolve it. Then I fill with water - makes a great air freshener! Just make sure to shake the bottle before spraying to disperse the oils throughout.
Ward off BUGS!
The oils in Purification make a great combination to keep bugs away!
Diffuse it anywhere you want to ward off mosquitos, flies, or bees.
You can also simply put several drops in some coconut oil to rub onto skin before going outside.
Another option is using it in a spray bottle like I mentioned above and spraying it all over clothing and skin.
But if you want more of a heavy duty bug repellant, follow this recipe:
- 5 drops Purification
- 5 drops Thieves
- 5 drops Melaleuca
- 2 drops Lavender
- 2 drops Orange
- 2 drops Peppermint
- 2oz Witch Hazel
- 4oz Distilled Water
Shake well before using.
**If you don't have all these oils, just use what you DO have! Other options to add to your bug repellant are Clove, Idaho Tansy, and Citronella.
Calm bug bites/stings
If you do get bug bites or stings, Purification can really help calm the itching, burning, and stinging, especially when applied right away.
I have ALWAYS been a mosquito magnet...for as long as I can remember. And the bites always have swelled up and been extremely itchy for several days.
Well, not anymore! As SOON as I feel the itch of a mosquito bite, I put a drop of Purification on it. Within minutes, the itch is gone and so is the swelling. Anytime it feels like it might be itching again, I reapply and it's relieved!
The same applies for other types of bites and stings. The earlier you catch it the better!
Support the body's natural defenses with skin irritation and blemishes.
The oils in this blend are also great for supporting healing! I grab Purification and apply a drop to any scrapes to assist the healing process!
Also swipe a drop over any blemishes/pimples you might have and see how helpful it can be! (don't rub it in too much. You don't want the oils of your fingers touching the pimple, just the essential oil)
Boost the immune system
Purification is great for the immune system, make sure to have it close when you need to promote's the body's defenses!
Rub a drop on each foot and dilute some on a q-tip and swab right inside your nose when needing extra immune support.
Try it as a deoderant!
There are many oils that can be used as a personal deodorant. This is my oil of choice. It smells so fresh and clean and can be helpful when there is bacteria that causes odor under your arms.
I simply apply one drop each to the underarms each day! I keep several oils with me wherever I go and this is one of them. So I always have it if I need to reapply!
***This is NOT an anti-perspirant. There are several health related reasons I choose not to use underarm anti-perspirant anymore!
Help alleviate ear discomfort
Purification, Melrose, or Melaleuca are the oils I grab when someone has some discomfort in their ear and/or jaaw.
MAKE SURE never to put essential oils directly into the ear. Take a drop (diluted for kiddos) and gently massage along the front of the ear and down the jawline. Do the same behind the ear as well.
Additionally, you can put some diluted Purification on a cotton ball and place the cotton ball right over the ear opening. Hold it there for as long as possible. (some people tape it there!) This can be super helpful!
There are SO many ways to use Purification, I try to never be without it!
