dig this sponsor: mama loves oils
July 6, 2012

Today, we welcome back and host a giveaway from Mama Loves Oils!

I am so thankful to have been introduced to Young Living Essential Oils through this sponsor, several years ago. Simply, these oils have improved my family’s health. I’ve had a lot of fun learning which oils to use for the regularly scheduled stream of bonks and illnesses that befall our family of four (and those who frequent our home). Our favorite resources: this book and MLO’s blog.

Photobucket
our medicine cabinet

Pan Away for headaches and muscle pain, peppermint for fevers, Valor and Peace & Calming for sweet dreams, lemon in every water bottle we own (anti-viral, anti-fungal, tastes awesome), Thieves used preventatively in the winter, RC on my kids’ chests to help with respiratory gunk…there are so many we love and use regularly.

Photobucket

Lavender just might be the most-used oil in our home. It’s our “band aid.” We apply it to every scrape, bruise, bug bite, burn that comes our way and I cannot get over its magic powers.Β And,Β Mama Loves Oils is giving away a lavender oil to one lucky duck! Leave a comment for a chance to win. Winner randomly selected on Tuesday, July 10. Additionally, you all get 10% your purchases! To redeem your discount, email Erika ([email protected]) or visit her store (829 S. Higgins).

WINNER: Lucky #48:

Thanks for sharing, Nici! I love haring about products that have stood the test of family use. Lavender oil is one my favorites, too!

July 6, 2012 at 3:14 PM

Wow…who knew that oils had such magical powers. I’m assuming you burn them as well as use topically? I will definitely need to try this with my little ones.

I bought my first set of oils a few months ago and lavender is absolutely my go to, it’s nearly gone already.

Loving Ruby’s sun bleached blonde hair lately πŸ™‚

Thank you for the opportunity! Fingers crossed. πŸ™‚

I Will be making a purchase from her today. Typically we don’t do any medication unless absolutely necessary, which happened a few months ago. I hope I can find an oil replacement for two meds that I must take daily now. Thanks for the chance to win as well!!

Awesome! I am running low on peppermint oil, but I’m also trying to branch out and use a variety of oils. This would be so great!

July 6, 2012 at 3:32 PM

I got a terrible sunburn on July 4, and among the remedies suggested by friends were some weird-sounding but natural remedies. It got me thinking about your use of oils. I would definitely love to try these oils for natural remedies in my home.



Heidi
July 6, 2012 at 3:34 PM

We use coconut oil a lot in our house, but I’d love to try it out! Thanks.

July 6, 2012 at 3:42 PM

Charlie’s mommy: We ingest some and use topically, we don’t burn them. I have been wanting to invest in a diffuser for quite some time!

Jessica: Oh lavender is MAGIC on burns. Last winter Ruby touched the side of my pressure cooker. It was terrible. I doused her hand in lavender and it never even blistered!



Angie a.k.a Angie and the New Life

Would love to give it a go. This all sounds so interesting.

Would love to give it a shot! Am always looking for morre natural products for my family.

Well, I’d love to give them a try. Our current medicine cabinet is a sad, sad affair. Yours looks a lot more fun!

I gave these oils a shot the last time they were a sponsor and they have CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!! I couldn’t live with out them!

Woohoo yes please!



Honey
July 6, 2012 at 4:09 PM

Lavender is much loved here, what with loading the wood stove all winter long! The scariest looking burn goes away quickly with lavender while the little “oh, nevermind that” ones that don’t get lavender blister and last!

Also great for tension headaches if you catch them early!



Amy
July 6, 2012 at 4:14 PM

The whole world of essential oils seems so overwhelming to me. Thanks for the great resources!

I’ve used essential oils in my classroom to help calm/energize my kids after lunch. Seems to work pretty well, but the added bonus is that the oils hide the post-lunch stinkiness of middle school boys.

July 6, 2012 at 4:32 PM

I love lavendar oil! it smells so yummy! I am excited to read your favorite resources about oils and how they can help my family be healthy! I have been wanting to learn more about oils but haven’t really known where to look. Thanks for sharing!



irelassred
July 6, 2012 at 4:34 PM

Lavendar oil is among my favorites as well! I’d love to learn more about essential oils though- I’m off to check out MLO’s blog & see what I can find!
Thanks for sharing this source that your family obviously loves!



Maggie
July 6, 2012 at 4:50 PM

We love our oils, too! I use a lot of lavender and tea tree around our place. πŸ™‚



Jodi
July 6, 2012 at 4:54 PM

LOVE these oils. We have and use RC, Thieves and Lemon. Slowly, but surely working towards having many more in our medicine cabinet!



Stacy Monaghan

We are heading out camping this weekend, the 4th day consecutive day of camping for my kids and with all the bug bites I would love to find something that would soothe them!



Karen

Excellent. I have always wanted to get into more ‘natural’ healing products. I will definately be checking out the store!!

Those sound wonderful!! I will have to check our her store.

Our hospital just started a therapeutic lavender oil protocol. Currently only for aromatherapy but every medicine cabinet stocks little vials of oil now. SO cool! I also swear by it for burns. I haven’t had a single blister since!



Amy L.
July 6, 2012 at 6:32 PM

Wow, the lavender oil sounds magical! I’d love to try it!

I’m very interested learning more about in the powers of the natural oils. Lavender oil is supposed to be wonderful for burns too. Did your mom ever use any oils on your family growing up?

I will definitely check out here store and the blog.

Thanks Nici!

I’m very interested in learning to use oils instead of turning to over the counter medicine. This will be a great step in the right direction.

I just read through a bunch of the posts on the Mama Loves Oils blog, and LOVE it! I’m really excited to research this some more and decide which oils to invest in to begin learning about using oils as a way to boost my health.

I found the information on pregnancy really interesting as I’m hoping to become a midwife, and really want to learn more about essential oils, herbal remedies and other natural health-boosting techniques. Thanks for sharing this!!!



mrsc
July 6, 2012 at 11:05 PM

I love my Young Living oils! I have used them throughout my entire pregnancy (almost 30 weeks now) to treat the lovely nausea, indigestion, and joint pain that accompanies it. It is amazing to have these as a resource especially during a time when medications are generally not the best idea! My daughter also asks for them especially when it comes to calming her down before bed and “keeping” her fr having nightmares. I seriously could go on and on about them! Lavender is fantastic but I have also stocked up on my “mom’s medicine cabinet” ones that work for ear aches, colds, teething, etc. We are ready for whatever comes! πŸ™‚

I’ve always been intrigued by essential oils but have never tried any. Lavendar is one of my favorite scents, though – I have some in my closet, and it smells wonderful!

Thank you for this resource. I love oils too and use often but have not tried for my own health,just enjoyment. I’ll be remedying that quickly!

We’ve gotten into oils, too! Not to the extent you have, but I’m inspired. Lavender oil makes toilet cleaning almost pleasant. And tea tree oil makes my homemade deodorant more effective! I love the idea of lemon oil in water!

Have you tried any tinctures? My sis in law made a sleepy time one for my restless sleeper, and I’m pretty sure it works! In fact, it helped a lot in night weaning!



~ Laura
July 7, 2012 at 2:57 AM

Neat information!! We’re using all natural cleaning ingredients these days but it’s still so new that I haven’t had a chance to learn about the medicinal oils. I’d love to though!! I’m going to head over to the website and see where to start!! Thanks!!! πŸ™‚

Janae
July 7, 2012 at 3:58 PM

I have to admit that I am a bit of a skeptic; I used tea tree oil to treat a nail fungus (I know – eww!) but only medication worked after a year of trying. However, I am an environmental engineer and would love to find natural methods to remedy my family’s ailments versus putting unnecessary meds down the toilet which can eventually cycle back around to drinking water. Maybe I should give other oils a chance πŸ™‚

OH I love love love Lavender and will have to check these oils out. The most frequent oil used for things like that in my home is coconut oil. I cook with it, use it on my face and body for moisturizer, and thinks it heals booboos faster than anything. I also put it on scratches to prevent scars. It is my ‘windex.” πŸ™‚ XO

Like a previous commenter, we use coconut oil but these sound wonderful. Would love to try…

Just used some lavender oil to get my little guy ready for bed the other night. We are getting to ready to move to a farm this December and will have tons of land to grow herbs and veggies – can’t wait to try to make some of my own. In the mean time, I will most definitely be buying some. Thanks!

Read this post the other day but had to return when I had a chance to comment! I adore this sponsor of yours, you introduced me to a wider use of essential oils the first time this sponsor came on board. Now, I am making all my own household cleaning solutions with essential oils, baking soda and castile soap (mostly). And I *just* (like, last week) purchased a book on using essential oils for human health. Thanks for this!

We also love Young Living Oils and use them for alot of things. A friend of mine introduced me to them a few years ago… They also serve as perfume and air freshener for me (mix a few drops in a spray bottle with water and spray away) it freshens furniture, rooms and rugs. Love your blog too. It is inspiring!

Acmeorange: one that is recommended is diluted theives oil. Also Exodus II and clove oil. Gentle Babies is a FANTASTIC book for Momma’s because it usually has several suggestions for things and appropriate dilution ratios for infants and children.
