Many people are unsure where to start when building their medicine cabinet. There are so many great oils out there, where do you begin?
I recommend starting your journey with the Everyday Oil Kit. This kit is very versatile and gives you a nice base to start using right away.
But where do you go after that?
Some of this will depend on if you or your family have any specific ailments that you want to treat with oils. Many women will start with Progessence Plus to help balance out their hormones.
This may also depend on the time of year. Cold/flu season will suggest different oils than the summer time which is filled with lots of sun, bugs, and allergies!
So after you've asked these questions, here are some great oils to start with as you rebuild your medicine cabinet:
Bites/Stings
Purification, Lavender, Copaiba
Burns/Sunburns
Lavender or Lavederm spray
Cold/Flu
R.C., Raven, Peppermint, Thieves, Peppermint, Eucalyptus
Cuts/Scrapes
Lavender or Geranium
Eczema/Skin Rashes
