Essential Soul for Wellcare

living, healing, and vibrating with doTerra essential oils

Wellcare and First Aid

If you are wishing to approach your health from the perspective of Daily Wellness, as opposed to just caring for yourself when you are sick, then high quality doTERRA essential oils can help!

There are many options for essential oil usage and many references and websites to get ideas. Below is a short-list based on my personal experiences for myself and/or the people close to me.

These are not the only choices-- there are so many more actually. Also check out this page on usage safety and considerations.

You can set up a free 20-minute Essential Soul consult with me to get you started!

Wellcare

For deep cuts:

I'm not a wound care expert but recently my child had a deep cut on his finger that really could've used stitches.....except that I didn't see it until it was apparently too late (like 2 days later instead 4-8 hours).

I was told it needed to heal on its own. My child needed some pain relief (which I guess wasn't as bad the first 2 days!) and begged for faster healing. This is what my research came up with:

In a glass jar, combine:

2 oz raw honey

10-20 drops tea tree oil

10-20 drops lavender oil

Apply liberally over the cut and cover with dressing/band-aid.

This worked really well for both the pain and the speed of healing. Applied at night and by the next night it was feeling better (other than the dressing sticking to the concoction just a bit). And then the following day, he remarked how well that worked. Hooray!!

(Note: This recipe was originally shown as a Homemade Burn Salve by Dr. Josh Axe with only the 20 drops of lavender (no tea tree) plus 2 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.
