Here are some DIY winter wellness recipes we use regularly in the cooler months
Winter is a time to look after ourselves, but sometimes we don’t get ahead as much as we could. Here’s a few fast, low cost DIY ways to make natural wellness remedies or preventative tools for you and the family.
Note– we do not ingest essential oils unless they are labelled safe to do so. I only use and recommend doTERRA oils for this purpose.
//PREVENTATIVE//
Winter roller bomb
We apply this to the bottom of the feet, back of next and lower back a few times a day when threats are high.
Flu-bomb spray
Use topically to feet and spine at the first sign of symptoms or several times a week during the winter months for general preventative support.
Winter diffuser recipes
Lemon wellness tea
I drink this most mornings after yoga but before eating. Some times I add in 1 drop of Ginger oil or Turmeric oil for an added healthy boost or as the mood takes me.
Germs be gone DIY Veggie capsule
Veggie caps like this tend to work best for us when taken every few hours for a number of doses, to really boost the body fast. Take at the first sign of symptoms or as a deterrent along with the other recipes above.
// REACTIVE REMEDIES//
DIY Soothing throat syrup
Both fast to make and effective!
To use: Add 1 Tbs to hot water with fresh lemon or lime and drink as often as needed until symptoms shift. Can also use it straight off a spoon for fast throat relief.
Chesty cough roller blend
Soothing chest balm / rub
