Building a Natural First Aid Kit

Today we are talking about building a natural first aid kit. This is not your normal first aid kit. Once you experience the amazing benefits of essential oils, you will wonder how you made it so long without them and feel lost if you don’t have them with you.

When an emergency happens, it is important to be prepared. It is often hard to think about what to do next. Having a well stocked first aid kit and being familiar with how to use the oils will be very beneficial to those around you.

Your First Aid Kit should have the following essential oils: {See the end of the post for information on a ready made First Aid Kit}

Living Clay~ we use this for almost everything. Put the dry powder on a cut to stop the bleeding. Sprinkle some in a water bottle to purify the water. Mix with water to form a paste and put on bee stings, bites, cuts, scrapes, snake bites, broken bones…the possiblities are endless! We also use this to brush our teeth and add Thieves Essential Oil to it.

Before you start working on someone, apply Peace & Calming, Trauma Life or Lavender to yourself…inhale it, put it on your wrists or heart to calm your nerves so you can think more clearly. Also let the injured person inhale or put on wrists to help them with anxiety as well.

Essential Oils can be inhaled, applied topically to location or feet (May need to dilute with vegetable oil) or taken internally. *ONLY if using Young Living Essential Oils* Read more about WHY Young Living here and the ways to use essential oils here.
