Do It Yourself Summer Remedies

Make your own Summer Remedy Kit and be ready for bites, burns, scrapes, poison ivy, and bugs. It is always nice to be prepared!

Sunburn Relief

45 drops Lavender
30 drops Myrrh
Fractionated coconut oil
1 oz. Roller Bottle

Add essential oils to roller bottle and top off bottle with your choice of carrier oil. I like liquid (fractionated) coconut oil for its long shelf life.

Apply topically as needed. Lavender heals burns - sunburn included and analgesic properties to help relieve the pain of sunburn. Myrrh is considered a "liquid band-aide" and is a superior healer of skin tissue. For severe burns seek medical attention and consider using this remedy in a spray bottle to avoid painful touch.
