This recipe base is for a salve that can be used for a variety of things. For different purposes, simply substitute different oils! If your current oil supply is limited to what comes in one of our basic starter kits, follow the recipe but just use frankincense (10 drops), lavender (8 drops), and melaleuca (8 drops). It’s amazing for your skin!

And lastly, your Daily Challenge!

Today we want you to try both frankincense and lavender. Here are a bunch of ideas!

◉ Add a drop of frankincense to your face lotion and apply to your face and neck

◉ Diffuse frankincense either alone or with wild orange for a boost to your mood

◉ Rub 1-2 drops frankincense on the back of your neck and behind your ears to
promote feelings of wellbeing

◉ Rub 1-2 drops frankincense on the bottom of your feet for immune support

◉ Take one to two drops frankincense in a veggie capsule to support healthy cellular
function

◉ Mix 1-2 drops lavender (and/or frankincense!) with your hand lotion to help
promote supple skin during dry times of the year

◉ Try a drop of lavender on a skin irritation (such as a minor burn, abrasion, or bug
bite)

◉ Diffuse lavender during the dinner/bedtime witching-hour and notice if your
normally-crazy children mellow out a bit :-)

◉ Use lavender to promote a restful night’s sleep. Rub a few drops on the bottom of
your feet, on your wrists, behind your ears, or even place a drop on your pillow or
the top edge of your sheets!

Bonus: If you have children at home, spend a few extra minutes with them at bedtime and rub a drop of lavender on their feet or spine. If you have a spouse or partner, offer a foot massage and share the benefits of more restful sleep with your loved ones. (Did that sound like a commercial?? It kind of felt like one as I was writing it… :-))
