About six weeks ago, I made my own foaming hand soap. I used 2 tbsp. castile soap, 1 tsp of fractionated coconut oil, and 10 drops of essential oil protective blend. I also added 1 tsp of liquid vegetable glycerin. I have been using this homemade hand soap in a foaming soap dispenser. You put all of the ingredients in the soap dispenser and then fill the remainder of the bottle with water.
I love this hand soap! It is a great way to keep my family from getting sick. The protective blend is known for its ability to kill harmful bacteria, mold, and viruses. It has been studied and proven to be effective with killing MRSA too. Needless to say, you can't go wrong with having the entire family wash their hands with a protective essential oil blend.
Even better than using it to wash our hands, I have discovered that this Protective Blend hand soap is also amazing for treating stains on clothes. With two elementary aged children, I stain treat clothes on a regular basis. It has been amazing to see how it works. I also have a 5 month old baby that we are fostering, and I have used it to treat spit up, blowout diaper messes, etc. I have also been able to successfully use this hand soap to get blood stains off of clothes!! Yes, you read that correctly. Blood stains came out with this homemade hand soap. Anyone who has dealt with blood stain on clothes, knows that this is amazing!
I love the fact that I have found a stain treater that does not have harsh chemicals in it! I love the fact that pure therapeutic grade essential oils is continuing to reduce the toxic exposure in my household!
This is my journey to incorporating essential oils use into my daily life to reduce my toxic load and assist my body to heal itself naturally. There are different grades of essential oils and I strongly recommend that you find one that is a pure therapeutic grade. Essential oils can be used aromatically, topically, and internally. I am a strong advocate of combining modern medicine and essential oils.

Welcome!
Welcome to Empowering Health with essential oils. I began my journey to natural health approximately two month ago. I have watched several friends have amazing success using certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils, so I decided that I needed to give it a try. Much to my husband's dismay, I purchased a kit and off I went. Any chance I could, I was trying to experiment on my family and friends. Oh your back hurts, let me try the soothing blend rub on that. You have an ear ache, let me put some Basil on a cotton ball and have you put it in your ear.
The coolest thing happened after I started sharing my experiences with the oils. The more I experimented with my family and had success the more they believed in the power of the oils. Two months into this adventure and my seven year old daughter will come up to me and say "Mom, do you have a oil that can take care of this?" I love it. My husband is still somewhat skeptical, but give him time. He will be the first to admit that the allergy bomb works, the soothing blend relieves pain in his back, etc.
The best part of all of this.....I am providing my family with safe and natural solutions to help their bodies heal themselves. In the wake of Obama Care and the fact that there are no enough doctors to treat the number of people with insurance, I am so grateful for the discovery of certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils. Plus, I have the added benefit of giving them something that is natural and does not come with a long list of side effects!
Please understand, I am not saying that essential oils replaces all modern medicine. Quite the contrary. I am saying that certain pure therapeutic grade essential oils help your body heal itself in conjunction with modern medicine. One way that essential oils help my family is with those pesky viruses that we all get. Antibiotics are not made to fight off viruses. However essential oils can pass through the blood barrier of cells and attack the virus directly. So, now I have the ability to assist my family in treating their own viruses and we are shortening the time we are all sick. I hope you will continue to join me on my journey in the use of essential oils and better health.
