Our Family Vacation with the Oils
Don't Leave Home without Them!
I have found that we learn so much from others about how to use the oils and have success. It is the stories & experiences that teach us and inspire us. Hoping that our experiences will inspire and guide you as you vacation with the oils.
At our first stop near Crater Lake, the mosquitoes were crazy! We loaded up with TerraShield.
We dabbed the oil bottle on our arms and legs and rubbed it on our faces and neck area. I used it regularly and consistently and didn't get bit. A couple of
our kids that were not as consistent only got a couple bites. I am sure
that without anything we would have been eaten alive.
For
the few bites we got, we regularly used lavender and melaleuca. Elsie
got 4 bites in a row on her hand and we watched as they went down and
went away within a day. No scratching and scarring here!
While in
Oregon, the boys went on a fishing boat into the Pacific to catch
Salmon. My boys used the DigestZen and Peppermint beadlets to help with
sea sickness.
Love the Peppermint & Wild Orange lip balm any season any where :)
As
we were getting ready to go kayaking on Devil's Lake, near Lincoln
City, our little nephew fell and skinned his leg really good. We washed
it out with water then added some lavender and band-aids and he was
ready to go.
Sunburns! We used lots of lavender and Aloe Vera gel
to sooth our beach time sunburns. I also used a combination of
lavender, helichrysum and coconut oil, put together in an Immortelle
bottle, as an after sun treatment. Interesting insight: the areas on
myself and my kids that we used the oils we experienced no peeling skin
and the skin tanned up. On the areas we didn't treat, they are peeling.
Interesting...
With
a house full of people, I also did my regular On Guard and Balance on
my feet each morning along with my Lifelong Vitality Supplements. With
our vacation schedule I also added the Mito2Max for energy. Love it! It
kept my energy and attitude high amidst everything.
One more...
while crabbing one morning, I put on my brave face and picked a crab up
to throw back over, the way they told me to, and I got pinched! Ouch!
Used a little lavender and melaleuca and I was back in! *Crabbing
was really fun. You throw down a crab pot with a chunk of meat on it,
wait for a while, then pull it up fast. The crabs are caught.
Fascinating creatures :)*
