Simple remedy is 1 or 2 drops Tea Tree Oil in ear. Also good to ease sinus or tension headaches.

Bentonite Clay for boils

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:00:00 EDT

Make a paste using Bentonite clay and some water, preferably distilled water then apply the paste to the area of the boil covered with some gauze and first aid tape or a large band-aid and wear overnight. Repeat the process each night until the boil disappears and make sure to take extra minerals while using Bentonite. This method worked great for me and sucked all the infection right out of a boil I developed...

Cough No More

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

A few days ago, I woke up at 3 AM coughing repeatedly. Something had irritated my throat the previous day and was progressively getting worse. I made my way to the kitchen and brewed some Licorice and Sage (equal parts). I was so ready to go back to bed, I didn't even bother sweetening it, and just sipped a cup. Within a few minutes, all the coughing had ceased and I was out like...

Eucalyptus Spray

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

A pretty simple thing most of you already do, but I mix Eucalyptus oil with water and spray my furniture and in the air. It keeps dust down and just gives our home a clean feeling.

Clean Those Greasy Hands

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

I used lemon essential oil to degrease my very greasy hands after fixing my daughter's bike chain. The grease came right off.

Prevent Motion Sickness

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

I recently returned from my vacation to Aruba and found my ginger and peppermint essential oils to be priceless. I rubbed them on my stomach just prior to six hours of flying with astounding results! I also used them prior to a very rough two-hour sailboat cruise and a forty-five-minute ride in a submarine. I never experienced any motion sickness the whole week, and I am one who gets sick watching someone else in...

I Hate Spiders

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

I use peppermint essential oil in a spray bottle to spray around my house, especially in the basement, to keep spiders away. Every couple of weeks is all that is needed.

Wite-Out Remover

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

I spilled Wite-Out on my gorgeous, royal blue, fine woolen three-piece suit pants. I was so disgusted I threw the pants in the closet for many months and figured that they were ruined. One day, I figured that since they were ruined anyway I would try to get the spot out. I used a natural soap that normally takes out a lot of spots. Then I poured lemon essential oil on the spot. It...

Remove Super Glue

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

A coworker had used super glue and got some on her fingers, resulting in them being stuck together. I had lemon essential oil with me, so I applied one drop to the glued area and within two to three seconds, her fingers came apart. Everybody was amazed at this!

Remove Adhesives Easily

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

“I was retiling my bathroom for the first time, and the adhesive I used oozed up between some of the tiles. I tried everything to get it off, even tile adhesive remover. Nothing seemed to work. Then my friend told me to try Citrus Fresh essential oil blend . I dropped it directly on the adhesive, smeared it around with my finger, and wiped it all off with a paper towel. It was amazing!...

No More Ants in Our House

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

Every year in the spring or summer, I wake up one morning to a kitchen counter full of ants. Last year, I mixed peppermint essential oil with water and sprayed around all of my windows, and for the first time in seven years, I was not invaded with ants.

Amazing Plantar Warts Cure

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

I read on several web sites that banana peel would cure plantar warts. I had surgery for plantar warts and ten years later- they began to grow beneath the scar tissue. I did not want surgery - banana peel duck taped in place overnight cured me in one week. Amazing.

Lemon-aid

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST

Those waterproof Band-Aids really stick to the skin, and after taking a Band-Aid off my son's knee, a lot of adhesive was still there. I just gently rubbed lemon oil on the adhesive and it came off instantly! Thank you Young Living .

Pollen Allergies Tincture

Sun, 02 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST

For pollen allergies (and I have really bad ones in the spring/summer), the only thing that works for me is a fresh nettles tincture. Dried or freeze-dried nettles don't do the trick (for me). If you have nettles growing anywhere near you, you can pick them, put them straight in a jar, fill with vodka, and shake every day. 6 weeks is a good length of time for the strongest tincture, but this past...

Cushings Horse and Chaste Tree Berry

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 00:00:00 EDT

I ordered the Chaste berry powder for my mare with Cushings disease. I own a quarter horse mare that is close to 1200 lbs. I started with one teaspoon a day, and finally decided it was too small a dose. I switched to two level teaspoons a day, and her hair is shedding beautifully. Thank you for offering a natural alternative to a horrible disease that can only be treated for comfort because there...
