Merry Christmas and Laundry Day FREE recipe!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Earth's Healing Books.  I hope you all got a REALLY great holiday and that you gave something wonderful to someone.  My Grandson bought his dad a present with his own money and it has been so adorable to see how excited he has been to give that to his dad.  Life lessons….

You might ask yourself "what does laundry have to do with Essential Oils?" I like to make my own laundry detergent and I add Essential Oils to bring a pleasing aroma to my laundry.  This recipe makes about 2 gallons of laundry detergent for about 50 cents.  It is fun to make and a great activity to do with the children.  This detergent is LOW SUDSING, so it is perfect for those new, fancy washing machines.  I always double this recipe and Make 3 extra large jugs of detergent at once.

LAUNDRY DETERGENT
1/4 bar Fels Naptha, grated or chopped small  (available at Walmart in detergent aisle)
1/4 Cup Borax (walmart)
1/4 Cup washing suds (walmart) OR baking soda
Water
20 drops Essential Oil

Put one cup water and grated Fels Naptha in a steel pan or double boiler.  Heat on med until almost boiling, stir constantly, then remove from heat.

In extra large bowl add the Borax, Fels Naptha, and washing suds (or baking soda).  Stir with a whisk and then stir in 10 cups of water.
Using a funnel, divide mixture into two heavy jugs. (milk jugs are too thin, I usually use old heavy laundry detergent jugs.)

Let mixture sit for 24 hours undisturbed, covered with lid or foil.

Add 8 or 9 cups of water to the mixture in each jug.
Add 10 drops essential oils to each jug.  I usually use Orange, Lemon or Lavender.
Shake well and label each jug.
1/4 Cup per each load of laundry.
Shake well before each usage.

Have fun making this.  I always feel such a great sense of accomplishment when I have it done and know that I made a LOT of detergent for such a small amount of money.  It works very good and my laundry smells so good when washed with this detergent.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Lin is vacationing in Costa Rica right now and we are hoping that she can pick up some natural healing recipes and tips from there.  She is having the time of her life with her husband, chopping down bunches of bananas and trekking through the jungles with a machete!

My skin has been extra dry due to the extreme hot and cold weather we are having in Texas.  I feel like the skin on my feet and hands are sandpaper.  I am going to mix up a concoction tonight of grape seed oil and some essential oils that will help my skin to stay hydrated during this massive weather change.

I am packing to move to my new home this week.  So excited.  I had a medicine cabinet that my dad made for me 25 years ago.  I took it out of our bathroom today, cleaned it up, and am going to put it in my new craft room as a home for my Essential Oils.  It has sliding doors and will keep my oils dark and cool.  I'll send ya'll a pic once i get it all set up.  Going to pack the blankets now.  Don't forget to like our page for a chance to win that free book!
Thyme to pack,

Ache and Pain Bath Reliever

Once you have the flu, the body is in a lot of pain in the muscles, joints, and it feels like it's in the bones themselves.  This healing, soothing bath will help a person to feel more like them old selves without all the muscle pain.  The Essential Oils can help to treat a myriad of symptoms while bathing in what seems and feels more like luxury than a remedy.  

5 drops Tea Tree (Melaleuca)

5 drops Lavender

2 drops Lemon

2 drops Cypress

1 Tbl. Carrier Oil

1 Tbl. Milk

As the bath water is running, pour the Essential Oils and the Carrier Oil (any oil you like: Jojoba, Olive Oil, Sesame Oil, Grape seed Oil, etc.) and the milk
into the bath.  Make sure that the water is not so hot as to cause the Essential Oils to dissipate. The milk will break up the oil so that it is not floating on top of the water and adhering to the skin.  A person may soak in this healing bath as long as they are comfortable.

Enjoy!
