Oatmeal Calendula - Herbal Bath Blend. - DIY

This is an adult variation of the Herbal Baby Bedtime Bath Blend. It's soothing for the mind & body. The main difference is there are more epsom salts added to the adult version. The salts mixed with the baking soda help to detoxify and cleanse the body, while the calendula & oatmeal is healing and  soothing for the skin. Lavender helps calm and relax us, & helps to make us sleepy and eases stress.



 

What You'll Need:

• Chamomile Flowers


• Lavender Buds


• Calendula Flowers


• Oatmeal (You can grind the oats up if you'd like)


• Epsom Salts


• Baking Soda


• Lavender Oil

Tools:

• 
  
  
  
  • Airtight Mason Jar (Or other such jar)
  
  
  • Organza Baggies (reusable)
  
  
  
  

To Make:

I mix mine straight in a big jar but if you prefer a mixing bowl and to funnel contents into jars later, that's okay too. ^_^

1. 1 Part Epsom Salts to 1 part Oatmeal. This will act as the base for the blend.


2. 2-4 tsp of baking soda


3. Depending on your preferences, add in as much or as little as you'd like of Chamomile, Calendula & Lavender Flowers. (I put 2 tbs or so of each to a mason jar)


4. Add in 5-10 drops of lavender oil & shake, shake, shake all of the ingredients together until evenly combined.


5. Keep stored in an airtight jar.

To Use:

Scoop some into an organza bag and toss the whole thing into the tub! The reason I like to use organza bags for this blend is because the oatmeal makes the tub very slippery. *So be careful!*

Enjoy!

Happy Bathing! ~ <3

Calendula, Tea Tree & Lavender Healing Oil - DIY

I recently attended the Harvest Routes festival where I was a vendor selling some of the items I make here on this site. (as well as a few new ones, I will put up shortly). To my surprise, the two top sellers were the Calendula Healing Salve & a brew of oils I make at home and use for everything but that I haven't uploaded yet.  I decided I should share this simple recipe here with you.

As we know already, I am a massive fan of the healing abilities calendula holds and we use it around our homestead for so many different things. I have added posts here on Calendula Tea - for treating wounds and skin irritations. Calendula Poultice - also amazing for treating different rashes, cuts, scrapes, eczema, hives etc & a Calendula Salve - Acne Blend. I use calendula in my Herbal Baby Bath Blend, as well as an adult version that I will add soon. We use it in our Oil Cleansing Method, and also our Oil Pulling Method. It's even in our Coffee Tired Eyes Cream, just to name a few. The list is basically endless as to what calendula can help with. I think it's my all around favourite ingredient. It's gentle enough to use on baby, and powerful enough to help heal a mountain man! ;)

This oil blend has both Tea Tree & Lavender essential oils mixed in with it, to amplify it's healing abilities. Tea Tree is a powerful anti-fungal, antibacterial, and wonderful disinfectant, helping to keep wounds or skin irritations from getting infected. Lavender is very soothing to the skin and can help reduce redness and irritation, it enhances blood circulation, helps relieve pain, works as a disinfectant and helps to eliminate nervous tension. (these two are always in our acne blends) This mix will help boost immunity to where it is applied. An all around amazing mixture of oils.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Calendula Infused oil (Or learn how to infuse your own HERE - You will need dried Calendula Petals for this.)


• Tea Tree Oil


• Lavender Oil

TOOLS:

• A double boiler / heating pot (If you're infusing your own oil)


• An airtight storage jar(s) for your finished product.


• Funnel, stir stick

TO MAKE:

You can do this two ways, If you're only making one bottle for yourself, you can fill it most of the way with your base oil (Calendula infused) and add in 5-10 drops each of Lavender and Tea Tree oils. OR if you are planning a big batch for gifts or sale, you can mix everything in a big container and pour it into your single containers afterwards. In our 150 ml containers I usually put 5-10 drops of each essential oil into the container and shake it all up. Just be sure you are diluting it enough to not irritate your skin.

VOILA!

Some Of The Things This Blend Is Useful For:

• treating wounds


• deep cuts


• eczema


• acne


• scars


• bites and stings


• damaged skin


• burns


• slow healing or infected wounds


• bedsores


• boils


• wrinkles


• sensitive skin


• baby bum rashes


• itchiness


• sunburns


• fungal infections

The list really goes on and on, if you have anything important I should add to it, please leave me a comment below!

Calendula Healing Salve - Acne Blend.

Never as a teen did I have acne issues but now as an adult, I do! How frustrating! You may remember my original post on acne- All natural Acne Relief cream. While this does help, I needed something a little stronger. I had made a universal healing ointment: Calendula Healing Salve, and tried it the other day on my face. (littered with acne, scars, and redness.) I was shocked with how fast I got results! With just one application my face was 90% clearer than it had been just hours before! WOW! I decided to take it one step further and combine the original acne recipe together with the calendula salve and came up with this one!

What You'll Need:

• 2 tbs Calendula Infused Oil (Infusing Your Own Oils) (Where to purchase Calendula Flowers) (Where to purchase Calendula Oil)


• 2 tbs Coconut Oil


• 5-10 drops of Lavender Oil


• 5-10 drops of Tea Tree Oil


• 1 tsp Beeswax or Carnauba Wax (optional)

• Airtight Jar or Tin (silicon molds if you're making this into a lotion bar. These would be adorable!)


• Melting Pot


• Stir Stick (chopsticks work well)

To Make:

• Melt Beeswax or Carnauba Wax first, if you're using some.


• Add in and melt Coconut Oil and combine it with equal parts of  Calendula infused oil.


• Remove from heat and add in the Tea Tree and Lavender oils.


• Mix well and poor into your storage container or into your molds.


• Pop into the fridge to allow it to solidify. (It will melt out of the fridge if you didn’t add beeswax.)

This mixture is nice and soft and melts well on the skin. I pop my solid lotion right out of the container, and use it as a lotion bar. This is easier than trying to scoop some out. (If you used molds be sure to keep the lotion bars in a airtight jar in the fridge.)

It’s best to keep your salve in the fridge, not only will it keep longer, the cool temperature will be extra soothing. Please see our post: Natural Preservatives for your Natural Products for some information regarding safety and shelf life.

Apply ointment several times a day to the affected area.

What Makes These Ingredients Beneficial?

Calendula is known for it’s anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and regrowth of new skin tissue abilities making it ideal for healing stubborn acne and scars.

Coconut oil has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties so it gives it an extra boost on healing. Not only does it help cleanse and heal acne, it also helps to resurface any scarring caused by acne.

Lavender oil is also antibacterial and acts as a soothing agent for pain and redness. Lavender oil is said to be useful in preventing future breakouts, and clearing up old acne scars.

Tea tree oil also has beneficial antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, making it perfect for healing acne. It also reduces redness and swelling.

You can also check out our posts: Calendula Healing Salve, Acne Cream & Calendula Tea for further healing of acne.

All Natural Migraine Relief - Compress and Soak.

These all natural, compress and soak remedies are an extension of the original post Headache Relief Salve~ DIY All Natural Remedy. I've added some additional information on reliving migraine tension quickly. (Along with some all natural product options you can purchase and try)

[caption id="attachment_538" align="aligncenter" width="533"] Photo Credit: joannastar.deviantart.com[/caption]

Head Compress:

• 3 drops peppermint oil


• 3 drops lavender oil


• 1 cup of cold water.


• 2 facecloths

Add oils to a cup of water and mix well. dip the facecloths into the mixture and wring out. Lay one cloth across your forehead and one on the back of your neck. Then proceed to the hand or foot soak.

Hand or Foot Soak:

• 5 drops of lavender oil


• 5 drops of peppermint or ginger oil


• sink or bowl full of hot water (test temperature, not too hot!)

For the foot soak I like to add in some Epsom Salts. This is really just an added bonus as they help to pull out toxins and impurities in your body. (Optional)

Soak hands in water for 2-5 minutes. You can also do this to your feet. I find the fastest way to relieve migraine pain is the bottom of your feet. (Rubbing the salve into the bottom of your feet works wonders)

Some Other All Natural Options:

Ginseng is also an active headache reliever.

Wood Betony - The leaves prepared as a tea which is useful for headaches and mild nervine. Mountain Rose Herbs also offers seeds to plant your own.

Increasing Garlic intake is also known to reduce frequent headaches.

Please also see the Headache Relief Salve post for additional headache relief. This is by far my favorite salve.

What do you use to relieve headache tension?

Headache Relief Salve~ DIY All Natural Remedy.

This headache relief salve is a light, aromatic mix of peppermint and lavender oils. I can  honestly say that this is the most used salve I make in my home. Everyone benefits from it. It works wonders for tension headaches, head colds, migraines and more.

Peppermint is known to relax muscles and spasms, making it ideal for releasing headache tension. Peppermint helps relieve pain and the added benefits of soothing Lavender magnifies the healing properties. Lavender acts as a mild anti-spasmodic, alleviating inflamed blood vessels causing the head pain.

The aroma is magnificent. I find this blend helpful as an aromatherapy "inhaler" also. It's light scent is relaxing, good for relieving stress, nervousness and even depression.

I've included an extension to this post. Please see migraine compress and soak for extra relief.

What You'll Need:

Recipe 1 (Solid Salve):

This one can be kept out of the fridge without melting. For a softer base, see Recipe 2.

• 5 drops Peppermint Oil


• 5 drops Lavender Oil


• 1 tbs Beeswax or 1/2 tbs Carnauba Wax


• 6tbs Coconut Oil

Depending on your preferences, you can add a few more drops of each essential oil.

Recipe 2 (Softer Base & Simplest Recipe):

This one will liquify to an oil out of the fridge but solidify when kept cool. It will melt easily when introduced to your skin.

• 5 drops Peppermint Oil


• 5 drops Lavender Oil


• 5 tbs of Coconut Oil

In my first batch I used peppermint oil I had made from Infusing my own oil. If you're going to infuse your own oil, you can use it as your base oil and leave out the coconut oil. See recipe below if you want to use your own infused oil.

Recipe 3 - if you're infusing your own oil:

• 1/2 cup Infused Peppermint Oil


• 5 drops Lavender Oil


• 1/2 ounce Beeswax or 1/4 ounce Carnauba Wax

*These are basic measurements. Depending on the size of container you are using to store your finished product will depend how much you need. (In tbs amounts, use 1 tbs of beeswax to 6 tbs of carrier oil)

Preparation Items You Will Need:

• Melting Pot / Double Boiler or a pan on the stove (low heat)


• Mixing Stick (I use a chopstick)


• Storage Jar(s)

Preparation for Recipe 1:

• Melt your Beeswax or Carnauba Wax first.


• Stir in coconut oil and allow for that to melt. (low heat)


• Reduce Heat & add in your Essential Oils. Stir well until everything is combined.


• Remove from heat and pour into your storage container immediately. (It doesn't take long for this to harden)

Preparation for Recipe 2:

• Melt coconut oil in your pot  (low heat)


• Reduce Heat (or remove from heat) & add in your Essential Oils. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.


• Remove from heat and pour into your storage container immediately. (It doesn't take long for this to harden)

Preparation for Recipe 3:

• Melt your Beeswax or Carnauba Wax first.


• Next, add in Infused Oil and stir ingredients together until everything is combined uniformly.


• Reduce Heat & add in your Essential Oils.


• Remove from heat and pour into your storage container immediately. (It doesn't take long for this to harden)

Depending on the firmness you prefer, you can add more beeswax or add more carrier oil to make a softer base. I like mine to be soft, plus I keep it in the fridge so it stays hard, but melts easily on the skin.

If you aren't happy with your finished salve, you can always melt it back down and add in more of what you need.

It's best to keep your mixture in the fridge. (At it's best if used within 3 - 6 months)

Apply to temples, base of neck, (right under hairline) the pain site (across forehead) and bottom of the feet.

*You can also use these oils in a migraine compress & hand soak.

Make your own ~ Herbal Bath Blend. Calming Lavender Rose.

Aromatherapy for a Natural Mama who needs a little relaxation in her life.  <3

Therapeutic Aromatherapy for relaxation, meditation, stress relief, easing anxiety, & releasing depression. This blend also helps restore balance to mind & body and brings about love & peace.

Perfect for a stressed out Mama or one who just deserves a little peaceful pampering time.

( This blend is also great for Enhancing love & sensuality ;) )

 What You'll Need: 

In an airtight jar -

• 1 cup Epsom Salts (Or - Himalayan Pink Salt, Dead Sea Salt) Depending on the size of your jar, give or take)


• 2 tsp Organic Rose Petals


• 2 tsp Organic Lavender Buds (Another Option Here)


• Rose Oil - 2-5 drops


• Lavender Oil - 2-5 drops


• Vanilla Oil - 2-5 drops

With the oils, I find it's best to shake the mixture in between to get them distributed evenly and to see desired strength of scent.

OPTIONAL:

• Coconut essential / scented Oil 2-5 drops


• Vanilla Extract - 1tsp


• 'Tea Bag' of sorts. I find this easier, rather than having to clean up the tub if you just pour the mix right into your bath - that is completely up to you though. <3 Maybe a drain screen would come in handy here. If you do choose to use a tea bag, this can be a little organza bag, or a piece of fabric with a tie, whatever your heart desires. I'd love to hear some creative ways you guys make these.

To Make:

• You can either use a mixing bowl and add to your storage jar after or you can start right on your storage jar.


• Poor in 1 cup of salts


• Add in your desired amounts of oils, shake well to be sure they are distributed evenly.


• crunch or tear your rose petals and add them in, along with the lavender buds. I usually use a tsb or 2 of each.


• Shake the jar again until the mixture is consistent.

If the mixture ends up being too strong for your taste, just add in more salt. I find the scent goes a long way. I've dulled my blends down lots of time for individual baths. You can keep your mixture in the jar, and when you want to have a bath pour some plain salts into your bath baggie and add in some of your mixture.

To Use:

Add a few spoonfuls into your 'tea bag' and toss the whole bag into the tub and enjoy. (or scoop a few spoonfuls straight into the bath)

HAPPY BATHING! <3

I have also found this blend useful as an aromatherapy smelling salt. I keep some in a glass vile and take a sniff anytime I need a bit of calming energy to wash over me. ^_^ <3

I actually will be selling these from my shop for a little while longer.

Here is the listing for the Aromatherapy Herb Jar Necklace

Make Your Own - Hydrating Honey Hair Mask.

This Hydrating Honey Hair mask packs an amazing nourishing punch! I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I have. You'll have to let me know if you try it. I've outlined the benefits of each ingredient below. <3

What You'll Need:

3 tsp - Honey: Honey helps to Shine & Soften, improves Scalp Health, & Promotes Growth.

2 tsp - Coconut Oil: Rich in Vitamins & Minerals, Strengthens Hair, Fights Against Premature Aging, Baldness & Hair Loss. Nourishes Dry Scalp & Dandruff, Repairs Damage & Split Ends, Softens & Adds Shine.

2 tsp -Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Rich in Antioxidants, Stimulates Follicles which can Result in Thicker Strands. Moisturizes, Dandruff Control, Fights DHT Production (Hair Loss)

5 drops -Lavender Oil: Hair Growth, Prevents Hair Loss, Clears up Dandruff, & Psoriasis. Enhances Blood Circulation improving Scalp Health & Hair Re-Growth.

3-5 drops - Peppermint Oil: Stimulates Hair Follicles, Prevents Hair Loss, Promotes Hair Growth, Moisturizes, Reduces Dandruff & Dry Scalp. Helps Regulate & Restore Natural Oil Production.

This recipe makes enough for one application.

• Soften Coconut Oil in a mixing bowl. Spoon in honey olive oil, & essential oils mix together well.


• Apply like conditioner to wet / washed hair. Massage into scalp and all throughout strands. You can bring this in the bath or shower with you. Leave on for 5-30 minutes to fully enjoy the nourishing benefits. If you want to leave it on overnight you should wrap your head in a towel or shower cap to avoid getting everything sticky. ^_^ Rinse thoroughly or repeat wash & condition.

*It may be wise to test a small patch on your scalp first as peppermint oil can be spicy. Everyone reacts differently to everything. If it feels like it may sting or burn, dilute more with an extra spoon or two of Olive Oil and use less peppermint oil in the next batch.*

ALSO: please be careful if you're doing this in the bath as it may leave your tub slippery from all the oils.

An extra bonus, after massaging this into your hair, your hands are left feeling extra smooth too!

Also, you can refer to my list on How to choose a Carrier Oil for making a mask for other hair types as this one is generally for normal to dry hair. You may want to swap a few ingredients if you have oily hair.

Do you have an all natural hair treatment you like to make? 

How to make your own All Natural Exfoliating Sugar Scrub!

This recipe has made my skin feel amazing! So many benefits packed into one little jar! ^_^ Not only does this scrub nourish your face (or body) with moisture, it helps to heal up any dry skin issues, redness and acne too!

There are so many variations of different face and body scrubs, which I will be sure to share more recipes, but in the meantime - This is definitely one of my favourites!

For this recipe you will need:

• Mixing bowl or mason jar


• 2oz jar or container (you can purchase great ones HERE)


• 2 or 3 tbs of brown sugar (raw is my favourite)


• 1 tbs honey


• 1tbs Coconut Oil


• a few drops of lemon (or Lemon Oil) (because citrus blends are phototoxic it is recommended to use this scrub in the evening or before bed, when you won't be exposed to the sun.)


• 2 drops of Tea Tree Oil


• 2 drops of Lavender Oil

I made this recipe to fit in a 2oz jar, you can take away or add ingredients to fit into whatever container you will be storing this in.

1. Add your sugar first to your mixing bowl. (I of course went straight to the container and made a mess trying to keep it contained)

2. Add in your spoonful of honey.

3. Next add in your Coconut Oil (I ended up doing this the hard way. It would make much more sense to melt the coconut oil before you add it to the scrub.)

4. Add in your lemon, Lavender & Tea Tree Oils

5. Now if you were smart and melted your coconut oil ahead of time, you can ignore this step. If you pulled a move like me, then carry on to this step to combine all of the ingredients.

Using a double boiler method, put a wee bit of water in a small pan. (not enough to seep into the jar) Place the jar in the pan and on low heat allow the mixture to melt together. Stirring constantly. (I know some people say to do this in the microwave for a few seconds, while I agree that would be faster, I just don't think it's healthy.)

Once your ingredients are combined & put in your container you are ready to make your skin silky smooth! ^_^

Directions for use:

• Splash your face with warm water.


• Scoop a chunk of the scrub into your hand. With warm water mush it into your hand creating a consistent paste.


• Massage gently onto your face (or body) in a circular motion. (You can also use this as an amazing lip scrub)


• Leave the mixture on your face for about 5 minutes.


• Rinse off with warm water.


• Steam your face with a warm facecloth.

TA-DAH! Skin that feels nourished & refreshed!

All Natural Acne Relief - Recipe for Remedy.

I have extremely sensitive skin, and it seemed like anything and everything I tried only caused some sort of reaction. I started researching ingredients in the store bought products and was disgusted with the amount of chemical garbage that is being distributed. To put something like that on our delicate skin just wasn't okay with me, so I set out to heal my face all naturally. Although I use it strictly on my face, this can be used on back / chest acne as well.

[caption id="attachment_100" align="aligncenter" width="640"] All Natural Acne Healing Cream - Recipe[/caption]

I've included a link at the bottom of this post for our new Calendula Salve recipe. It works wonders on slow healing, stubborn acne and scars!

The oils I found to be most beneficial to healing acne are:

• Coconut Oil


• Lavender Oil


• Tea Tree Oil

(Make sure the essential oils you are using are pure and undiluted. OR you can try making your own)

Coconut oil has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties so it gives it an extra boost on healing. Not only does it help cleanse and heal acne, it also helps to resurface any scarring caused by acne.

Lavender oil is also antibacterial and acts as a soothing agent for pain and redness. Lavender oil is said to be useful in preventing future breakouts, and clearing up old acne scars.

Tea tree oil also has beneficial antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, making it perfect for healing acne. It also reduces redness and swelling.

Essential oils can be damaging to the skin if applied directly, to dilute, add ten drops of essential oil to 1oz of coconut oil. (You could also try aloe vera instead of coconut oil or even try out other carrier oils. Different oils have different properties to help different skin types. Check out my research list of carrier oils here)

This recipe is something I personally have used on my face for a while now. It has helped clear up my spots and is even resurfacing and dulling out my scars.

• 20z Coconut Oil


• 10 drops of Lavender Oil


• 10 drops of Tea Tree Oil

Depending on how much you want to make at a time will depend on how much of each ingredient you need.

I use a melting pot but you can also use a double boiler.

1. Put Coconut oil in a mason jar / jam jar.


2. Place the jar in a pan filled a quarter of the way with water and turn on low. Don’t boil, and don’t heat the glass up too hot as the jar may burst. Coconut oil will melt very quickly. Be sure not to allow the water to get into the oil. 


3. Remove from heat CAREFULLY! (the jar will likely be hot) USE OVEN MITTS


4. Stir in your desired amounts of essential oils. I use a chop stick for this.


5. Pour into the container(s) you will be keeping the mixture. Allow to cool. Place airtight lids onto containers & store.

Depending on how you like to apply the mixture, you can store in the fridge as coconut oil will liquify at 76 degrees F (24 C). It is a little harder to get out of the container, but will keep much longer if kept cool. You could always spoon out the amount you will be using and allow it to melt. Coconut oil melts almost immediately when applied to skin.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: With this, a little goes a long way. After I wash my face (I use an all natural tea tree oil blend) I simply dip my (CLEAN!) finger or cotton ball into the container and spot where it's needed most and then blend it all together. It's also very hydrating if you have dry skin issues, like me. It will leave your face looking a little shiny for a short while so I like to put it on before bed or a few hours before I am going out anywhere. It takes about 10-15 minutes to work its way into your skin.

Alternatively - You can check out our new recipe: Calendula Healing Salve for stubborn or slow healing ache, and scars. Just one application of this to my face made all the difference! I'm working on an acne version of the Calendula salve now but the standard version works amazingly as well!

Blister Herbal Healing - All Natural Relief.

Summertime is the biggest blister time for me, gardening, raking etc.. I decided to try something new.

I used a mixture similar to my headache relief cream as the oils have so many different properties!

This is after just ONE application! I was very pleased with the results!

What you'll need:

• Coconut oil


• Lavender oil


• Tea tree oil

Depending on the container size you are storing this in will depend on how much of what you'll need. I'd say about 3 drops of both lavender and tea tree to a teaspoon of coconut oil.

1. Melt down the coconut oil in a double boiler. (Place a jar with the oil in it in a pan part filled with water, being careful the water does not get into the oil, medium heat until liquid - coconut oil melts very fast.)


2. Add in your Lavender and Tea Tree oils and stir well.


3. Store in an airtight container.


4. Apply mixture to the affected area, either in liquid form or cream form. Allow it to soak in and feel the relief!

You can store mixture in the fridge to keep from melting.

Do not burst the blister. Apply the oil right on the affected area and allow it to soak in.

These are my results after just one application! I put it on once more later that day and you can't even tell the blister was ever there! SO much better than the pain of when they burst!

I recommend Mountain Rose Herbs for all your herbal healing needs!
