FAVORITES FOR BUMPS & BRUISES

  • Rose Ointment or Tender Tush Ointment (great replacement for typical skin ointments)
  • Seedlings Diaper Rash Cream (perfect or wellness kits because it is a zinc oxide cream and protects the skin)
  • Helichrysum, Lavender, Patchouli, Chamomile and Frankincense essential oils (for soothing and promoting healing)
  • Tea Tree essential oil (for purifying and can be used for tick removal!)
  • PanAway, M-Grain, Deep Relief essential oil blends
  • CBD Muscle Rub and CBD Drops (can use topically or most people drop under the tongue)

For just about everything you'd find in a conventional wellness kit, we have a natural option in the form of an essential oil or oil-infused product!

QUICK TIPS & DIYS

  • To easily remove ticks, simply drop a few drops of Tea Tree essential oil onto the tick where it is attached. Gently rub a q-tip around the area and wait for the tick to remove itself from the skin. Add a few more drops of Tea Tree as needed.
  • Use Rose Ointment or Tender Tush Ointment as an all-purpose ointment when applying bandages and as a carrier if you need to add essential oils to an area. These can also be used as a base for a DIY cream/salve.
  • Lavender is a great skin soother! Whether skin is irritated from a fall, from grabbing something hot, or from creepy crawly pests, Lavender and a carrier is a great start. You can also add Purification to soothe itching and/or Roman Chamomile for soothing.
