So hard to pick a favorite, but lately I’ve been relying on homemade elderberry syrup for immune support.
Just started making my own stuff (shampoo, conditioner, diaper wipe solution, cleaners) a couple of years ago. A few drops of tea tree oil in the diaper wipe solution works great to keep my daughter fresh and clean. Next on my list is making my own body lotion and face cream.
I have a smaller set of oils that are running out… I find that I use the lavender, tea tree, and sweet orange ALL THE TIME and they are dwindling. Great website!
I would like to try peppermint or spearmint.I have used lavender and tea tree in oil soap and really liked the lavender.
tea tree oil is the best!
What a wonderful giveaway! Would be fantastic to win!
Tea tree oil!
My favorite essential oil is Peru Balsam. I use it when I make bar soaps because the scent is clean and fresh and it lasts well over a year in the soap.
We use peppermint oil for headaches, muscle aches and upset stomachs

I love garlic! I use garlic in literally almost everything I cook, it’s good for the blood, it’s good for the immune system, and my favorite use for it is on ear infections. A couple drops of garlic oil into the ear canal, lying on your side, let it sit for a few minutes, then turn and let it drain out into a tissue. It works like magic, and much faster than anything traditional I’ve ever used. LOVE garlic!
Great giveaway!! My favorite is Peppermint! It is a great scalp reliever. It’s very relaxing.
I love using essential oils to make my own cleaners (especially tea tree, eucalyptus and lemon)
