We have been using essential oils for about 14 years now. I started out with Young Living, but have included other medicinally sound brands such as doTerra, Ameo, and Florihana. Here are a few recipes and explanations on various ways I utilize essential oils in our home. These are all in a rollerball size bottle – you can use arnica infused oil, castor oil, or avocado oil.
Bug Bites:
If you react poorly to insect bites, this recipe is for you. I dilute the following into a rollerball and fill with arnica infused oil:
- 5 drops tea tree, 2 drops frankincense, and 2 drops lavender
Kidney Blend:
Stones, aches, infection? Need a little support in the urinary tract area?
- 10 drops of each: ginger, nutmeg, frankincense, chamomile
Muscular Skeletal Blend:
Back aches, weird tingling up the spine; many times at night I have this “electrical” feeling that keeps me up – this blend usually alleviates it within minutes –
- 10 drops of each: frankincense, peppermint, wintergreen, basil, cypress, thyme, and marjoram
Nerve Blend:
Some of my clients have damaged nerves that keep them up at night, or give out continual pain, some sharp, some just annoying and achy! This is a good blend to calm that down:
- 10 frankincense, 5 helichrysum, 10 wintergreen, 5 sandalwood, 10 bergamot
Hope you found this useful – more recipes will be on the way! Essential oils are extremely potent and should be used properly. A little goes a long way with these guys. They are wonderful gift and have been used for centuries. I appreciate all the ways God provided for us!

Love this info…….thank you.
information is great. Do you recommend ingesting these essential oil recipes? What is the frequency of use?
These are topical use blends only. You can use them several times a day as needed.
