Slowly we are trying to convert as much of our household and health care products to all natural products. As I researched all the benefits of essential oils and how simple it is to make your own products, I was sold! It really doesn't take much time and won't break the bank. I've heard of some essential oils being super pricey but I've found that the Now Essential Oils are quite reasonable. They can be found at your local Whole Foods and on Amazon. Thanks to my friend Faviola, I'm learning most natural recipes require only a few drops of essential oil so it will go a long way. Plus, you can use many of the same essential oils to make several different products/recipes.
I wanted to start off with some very simple recipes so I thought, what do I use the most? I probably wipe down my counter top and island more than once a day, every day. So it made sense to start with an all purpose cleaner. This cleaner is just two ingredients, yes two! Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Soap and an essential oil of your choice. Just mix the two ingredients together and your done! You've got an all natural cleaning spray that smells lovely and is safe for the whole family, even our furry babies.
And by the way, this Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Soap is ridiculously useful. It can be used in soooooo many different ways. You can wash your hair, mop the floors, bath your pets, wash your cloths, clean your fruits and veggies; I mean, the list goes on! It's incredible. So, get on it and get you some! There are millions of recipes for all natural products and I'm just getting started. Stayed tuned as I have two more recipes for you coming real soon!
